Redefining “Torture” to Suit Liberal Agenda

COMMENTARY by Ed Nicholson

While the abuses brought about by a few of our "not-so-finest" American soldiers in Abu Ghraib prison is indeed tragic, we should not allow all the methods employed for gaining important information from the enemy to be labeled as "torture." The angry left continues to exploit this tragic situation for political purposes.

The far-left leaning Amnesty International, for example, has continued their attack on the US government -- namely the Bush Administration – by accusing them of “torturing” Iraqi insurgents by subjecting them to "loud music and sleep deprivation for three days." I ask: “Where was Amnesty International when Janet Reno used similar tactics on the compound at Waco? Did they accuse the Clinton Administration of torture then?”

While the extreme left (Hillary, the liberal elites in the Main Stream Media, et. al) continue to purvey their deceit onto the American people, all they are doing is continuing to put our troops in harms way and threatening the progress already made in Iraq.
