**Memo Says Bush Not Restricted by Torture Bans**
"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush, as commander-in-chief, is not restricted by U.S. and international laws barring torture, Bush administration
lawyers stated in a March 2003 memorandum.
The 56-page memo to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld cited the president's "complete authority over the conduct of war," overriding international
treaties such as a global treaty banning torture, the Geneva Conventions and a U.S. federal law against torture."
With every passing day, President Bush resembles Hitler more and more. It will not be very long at all before America finds itself literally in a
dictatorship (and before anyone gives me that crap about "Oh he can't do that its against the constitution!" When has that EVER stopped them
before? I'm not too fond of Kerry either, but is THIS what you want leading your country?
I really should have made this a "Should we coup Bush?" debate, but..
Bush claims to be a God-fearing Christian. Is it immoral for him to do this?
