Oh Noes! 'Pops' McCain says we violated the Geneva Convention!

In stark contrast to what all the right-wing water carriers are saying....

Excerpt that bears noting:

Schieffer asked if Jay Bybee, one of the authors of the memos, should be impeached or asked to resign. Bybee is now a federal judge.

"Well, resignation would be a decision he would have to make on his own," McCain said. "But he falls into the same category as everybody else, as far as giving very bad advice and misinterpreting fundamentally what the United States is all about, much less things like the Geneva Conventions. Under President Reagan, we signed an agreement against torture. We were in violation of that."

This is another White Water.  Just what we need, another circle-jerk partisan investigation.  Without devolving this discussion into the merits or lack thereof of torture, we've got far more pressing issues in our country right now which need to be dealt with.

I agree with you wholeheartedly on this C...I guess I felt a little left out and wanted to see what it felt like being a human feed aggregator.



While I think it may merit some looking into, especially if laws were broken, couldn't we just kick the rock a little?  I think the economy and other things stand to benefit.  I think the POTUS has said as much as well.
