OBAMA RELEASES BUSH "TORTURE MEMOS"

President Obama has finally released the legal memorandum which the Bush Administration used to justify torture of detainees in the "War On Terror".
Although Obama's cabinet has turned down more requests under the Freedom Of Information Act than any other administration, they should be congratulated for this release. Only if the American People are fully informed can they make reasonable decisions with regard to foreign affairs.
Here is the Memo:

Is Waterboarding Torture?

I my opinion, waterboarding is torture. Check out this video and see how long this guy lasts:

There is a big difference between what this guy is enduring and what a suspected "terrorist" would be enduring, because he had the option of ending the experiment at any time. The person being "interrogated" doesn't have the ability to stop the procedure and therefore is enduring an excruciating  experience that can and has led to death.

The ACLU has posted the secret memos which they forced the Bush administration to release with a lawsuit; see them here: http://www.aclu.org/accountability/olc.html
