MSM Buries Fact Bush Ignored Military Leaders, Endangered Troops



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

We find out that Bush bluntly ignored the advice of every branch of the military. In the strongest terms, the army, navy, air force and marines all denounced the use of extraordinary force during interrogations (what granola-eating wimps refer to as torture). Yep, every branch of the military argued that the case for torture was legally suspect at best, went against our country's core values and would put our troops in unnecessary danger. And it probably wouldn't do any good anyway.

Bush dismissed their advice with a wave of his hand and did it anyway. Why did Bush ignore his top military leaders? Why did he put our troops in harm's way whenever one of ours gets captured by an enemy? What are his reasons for dismissing the military advice of his top commanders?

But where did the story of Bush's dismissive lack of concern for our troops get buried? On page 21 of the New York Times.
