Leahy - We need to Investigate

Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said on Face The Nation Sunday that a non-partisan "truth commission" to investigate the authorization of controversial interrogation techniques (such as waterboarding) is necessary so that America can come to terms with "what happens when we lose our national honor."

"I know some people say, 'Let's turn the page,'" Leahy said. "Frankly, I'd like to read the page before we turn it." - CBS News Story

This is a Senator for you. He wants to read this page in history, but back a couple of months he sure didn't take the time to read the massive bailout bills that he voted for.

He claims that it is not out of vengeance, what a croc, that is exactly what it is all about. Whether Waterboarding is considered torture or not is up to interpretation. Many say that it is not as it has no long term effects, many say that it is. It is very divisive, just like the debate over abortion. There is no way that you can make everyone happy on this issue.
