The New Yorker

and here it is... Rumsfeld signed off on interrogation methods that are forbidden by the Geneva Convention. keep in mind this is just about the time bush administration backed us out of international treaties concerning war crimes and the courts to try war criminals.

BUT..Pentagon Denies Report's Rumsfeld Claims

NEW YORK - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld authorized the expansion of a secret program that encouraged physical coercion and sexual humiliation of Iraqi prisoners to obtain intelligence about the growing insurgency in Iraq, The New Yorker reported Saturday. The Defense Department strongly denied the claims made in the report.

Read both articles (they're short) and make up your mind. To me it looks like they are circling the wagons for Rumsfeld as this is could be the very orders that tie this issue to the administration and for which our soldiers may be jailed for 'doing what they were told'. at this point in the election year, the bush administration will likely try to avoid being the ones that signed off on this, regardless of the reality. That's our Buck-stops-anywhere-but-here president.

With all this in mind...

Recently i asked a Bush fan what, if anything is better today under bush. he immediately went into a rant about how Clinton wasn't so great. it's not good when his die hard supporters can't give a reason for supporting the man. I believe he's losing a lot of support out there, and the polls agree.
