BULLY BOY PRESS -- GREEN ZONE, IRAQ.
THIS JUST IN!
ALBERTO SPREADS HIS TORTURED TORTURE 'LOGIC' AROUND!
INTERNATIONAL BILLIE JEAN KING LOOK-ALIKE AND ATTORNEY GENERAL ALBERTO GONZALES ARRIVED IN BAGHDAD TUESDAY -- THE SAME DAY THAT 21 CORPSES WERE DISCOVERED "BEARING SIGNS OF TORTURE."
IT MADE HIM FEEL SO AT HOME AND WARM & FUZZY, HE ASKED HIS DRIVER IF HE COULD GET AN EGG MCMUFFIN IN THE GREEN ZONE? (THE ANSWER WAS YES AND ALBERTO SCARFED DOWN 12.)
AFTERWARDS, ALBERTO GONZALES HAD A CLOSED DOOR MEETING WITH "TOP IRAQI SECURITY OFFICIALS." ALBERTO SAID AFTERWARDS THAT, "IT IS SOMETIMES A DIFFICULT DECISION TO MAKE, AS TO WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE LINE, WHAT IS ALLOWED UNDER THE LAW, UNDER THE CONSTITUTION."
WHEN IT WAS POINTED OUT TO ALBERTO THAT HE WAS SPEAKING OF TORTURE, HE IMMEDIATELY BACK TRACKED SAYING, "IT IS AGAINST THE LAW. WE HAVE A DOMESTIC LAW PROHIBITING TORTURE. THERE ARE INTERNATIONAL PROHIBITIONS AGAINST TORTURE. WE ARE A PARTY TO CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE. . . . THIS GOVERNMENT DOES NOT ENGAGE IN TORTURE."
THUS SPAKE THE AUTHOR OF THE TORTURE MEMO.
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT DOES NOT ENGAGE IN TORTURE BECAUSE IT IS "A PARTY TO CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE"?
AS ALBERTO WROTE IN HIS TORTURE MEMO: "IN THE FOREGOING PARTS OF THIS MEMORANDUM, WE HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT THE BAN ON TORTURE IN SECTION 2340A IS LIMITED TO ONLY THE MOST EXTREME FORMS OF PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HARM."
THE U.S. DOES NOT ENGAGE IN TORTURE? THAT DEPENDS UPON WHAT YOUR DEFINITION OF "MOST EXTREME" IS.
