![]() Bush: Wrong to ban "practices that have a proven … record of keeping America safe".
Bill would also ban beating, electrocuting, burning, using dogs.
Also would ban stripping detainees, forcing them to perform or mimic sexual acts.
Senator: "Bush’s veto will be one of the most shameful acts of his
presidency"…

Barack Obama should reconsider his posture on the US mission in Afghanistan as fighting the right war while
Iraq has been the wrong war. ‘The Iraq war’, he is quoted as saying. ‘distracted us from the
fight that needed to be fought in Afghanistan against Al Qaeda’…

One would never guess that Washington had any role in the bloody events on the Colombian–Ecuadoran border. The
Bush administration portrays itself – and is largely portrayed by a compliant media – as a selfless champion of
democratic values and faithful ally of the people's of the southern hemisphere…
