A gross distortion. You need to take a look at something beyond those left
wing blogs, Not At All. If you had done so you would have discovered that
your courageous Congress after dithering for several years dealt with the
issue like a hot potato, finally deciding in 2006 to provide retroactive
legal protection to those U.S. personnel who engaged in or directed the
activity.

I will credit Obama with the political guts to step up to the plate and
say
that if a few thousand or a few hundred thousand Americans get killed as a
result of prohibiting the activity, he takes responsibility for that
result.


It's a fact...

I missed the part of the article about what our courageous Congress did in
2006. Perhaps you can direct me to that part.


I'd suggest talking to your fellow Republicans.

I didn't miss the part where you said, "A gross distortion. You need to
take a look at something beyond those left wing blogs, Not At All" in
response to Jon's allegation that the US had prosecuted those who
engaged in water boarding for torture...

Nice arabesque, well not really. Actually a rather clumsy obfuscation.
