The Bush/Cheney torture squad is still alive and kicking:
The White House is seeking a compromise with a leading Senate Republican over its efforts to exempt the CIA from a proposed ban on torture and inhumane treatment of prisoners, President George W. Bush's national security adviser said on Sunday.Now that sounds good, but it's code for saying the White House is opposed to the ban on torture.
"We are working hard in good faith on both sides to come up with an approach that can be supported by the president and the Congress, to both find a way to be aggressive in the war on terror and still comply with U.S. law," national security adviser Stephen Hadley said on "Fox News Sunday."
We're having a debate in America about allowing torture. What a great legacy for the Bush/Cheney team.
