Agitprop: Confused old man won’t torture you if you can prove citizenship
************************************************
Of course, the Bush administration came up with a very convenient, tidy little loophole to help them deal with that particular obstacle -- they simply declare you an "enemy combatant" which at least in their minds renders your American citizenship and your Constitutional rights null and void, and then they consider themselves quite at liberty to do whatever they damn well feel like to you. Just ask Jose Padilla...
I'm starting to feel comfortable being lazy and entertained by the daily news.

A recent study shows that more than 40 percent of every income tax dollar in 2007 went towards military spending.

So this means that Antonin Scalia's tax dollars have been supporting polygamy? Sweet! What's next - man on dog?

Holy hijacked thread.
So! Lets see if I got this straight...
McCain thinks that IF a terrorist had information that could stop an imminent mass casualty attack against Americans, its ok to torture that terrorist. HOWEVER if that terrorist happens to also be an American citizen, then its NOT ok to torture him no matter how many hundreds of thousands of lives are at risk.
No wonder he's so often confused with that kind of thinking going on in his mind.
McCain's pander is pretty damn despicable, and avoids discussing what's already happened to American citizens and others.

So that means he is up in arms over the illegal torture of Padilla right?
