The very same Democratic leaders who are so horribly outraged at the terrible things we did to a grand total of three terrorists, were briefed on these interrogation procedures AND the overseas detention sites in 2002, and apparently had no problem with it at the time.
To make it even more blunt, the Bush administration checked with the Democratic intelligence leaders--Pelosi, Graham, Rockefeller--on these procedures, and they pretty much said "go for it."
This is part of a years-long pattern of Democrats actively involved on Intelligence Committees, who have been up to speed on what's been going on, pretending to be surprised and outraged at something when there's political advantage to be had. Rockefeller, who I've called out on this kind of thing before, excelled at this.
If you have a problem with this, you have a problem with a lot more than Bush.
Any questions?
