torture...the bad dream

 The use of torture by any nation should be considered  barbaric.many studies have found that you do not really get any useful information.instead,they tell you what you want to hear.it is wrong.no soldier should ever go through this.
  W hen then president bush ok the use of torture he diminished Americas human rights standing all over the world.and i was encouraged to find leaders like john McCain speaking out against it.but,the president allowed it to continue.to me,the use of torture is and should be considered a war crime.if a U.S. soldier was tortured,we would charge that a war crime had occurred.we can not have it both ways.this is one reason i oppose the republican party.they rubber stamped the presidents bill to do this.and then,he started using it on Americans.he went and kidnapped foreign citizens which is also considered a war crime.this is disturbing.but,almost predictable.a far right president,with a far right congress that rubber stamped everything.he had no checks on his power.and it showed.ANY OTHER PRESIDENT AT ANY OTHER TIME IF FOUND DOING THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN HAULED BEFORE CONGRESS,AND IMPEACHED FOR ABUSE OF POWER.AND THEN CHARGED WITH WAR CRIMES.but because he had a congress that did anything he wanted he got away with it.to me the fact that Guantanamo still exist is a sign that the far right still have a lot of power.if we want o regain the moral high ground,Obama must close Guantanamo,and outlaw all torture.
