The Torture Debate - Bush 43

The New York Times: Reports on the internal debates within the Bush White House on the use of torture. As a hawk it could be argued that these debates should have been kept secret but as a reader of Presidential History its great to read this stuff, the debates between Vice - President Cheney and Secretary of State Rice on how far the USA should go, what was done, the torture methods had Presidential approval but Secretary Rice the NYT reports curbed some of the harsh methods. It would be interesting to know who leaked the information and why, Rice comes out okay from the article, VP Cheney is Darth Vader again. Thus one can postulate that the info came from friends of Rice, and not friends of Cheney. It should have been kept secret fun to read. Read of the Day.
