McCain Insinuates Bush Adminstration Tortures

This is why conservatives don't trust McCain. In an interview with the liberal German newspaper Der Spiegel, McCain insinuates that the U.S. tortures its prisoners.

SPIEGEL: America has lost a lot of friends because President George W. Bush angered, indeed outraged, them. He allowed human rights to be violated at Guantanamo Bay, and he dismissed the joint effort to combat global warming. Under a President McCain, could we expect a change of course?

McCain: Yes. I would announce that we are not ever going to torture anyone held in American custody. I would announce that we were closing Guantanamo Bay and moving those prisoners to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and I would announce a commitment to addressing climate change and my dedication to a global agreement -- but it has to include India and China.


Some straight talk...McCain doesn't ask the simple question: "how did we violate rights? By not allowing them to kill us freely?" Instead, he allows the uninformed Euros to spread this propaganda uncontested.
