No wonder liberals (including McCain) want it discredited and discarded.

I retrieved that info from the White House website in this article: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/01/20080122-2.html It's a good read if you haven't done so yet!

Is waterboarding torture if it's used against Americans? The nearest fallout shelter is right where we left it during the McCarthy era.

Is waterboarding torture if it’s used against Americans?

We just might need it now. What's even more galling is that Pelosi and her crew found the time to pass the bill outlawing CIA waterboarding--a technique used only 3 terrorists--but refused to let the PAA come to the floor. Utterly shameful. Anyone know where the nearest fallout shelter is? We just might need it now.

[Dear (House member name),

I am writing to ask for your help in passing the Protect America Act today! The following reasons are why I am writing to you today:

The Senate Bill, Passed By A Strong Bipartisan Majority, Is An Important Piece Of Legislation That Provides Our Intelligence Professionals The Tools They Need To Protect The Country

*The Senate bill gives the Intelligence Community the tools it needs to keep the Nation safe.

*The Senate bill would provide liability protection for those companies being sued for billions of dollars only because they are believed to have assisted the Government in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks.

*The Senate bill is a carefully crafted, bipartisan bill and is the result of months of consideration and negotiation in the Senate.

*The Senate bill preserves the strong protections for the liberties of Americans.

* The Senate bill provides a new role for the FISA Court in approving surveillance targeted at Americans abroad.

*The Senate bill substantially increases the role of the FISA Court in overseeing acquisitions of foreign intelligence under the bill – even though the acquisitions are targeted at foreign targets overseas.

*The Senate bill substantially increases Congressional oversight...

...Thank you very much for your expediency in this matter.]

(I encourage everyone to contact your state congressman in whatever way you can!)

Every time he speaks, Barack Obama promises to overcome "bitter partisanship and petty bickering." Good luck with that. The House Speaker from San Francisco is obviously running her own campaign to gain control of the White House. The needs of the party's Presidential candidates appear to be a distraction from this.
