The President's press conference...

Transcript via the White House web site. He's convinced me on detainee treatment.

The techniques we used (stripping a guy, putting him in a cold room, and playing Red Hot Chili Peppers until he talked) are not torture. But all it will take is for some joker at Amnesty International to claim this is an "outrage on human dignity" (as if what the terrorist was planning wasn't) for our guys to possibly face charges - possibly in front of the ICC.

Call your Senators, and tell them in no uncertain terms that while Senators McCain, Graham, and Warner mean well, their legislation is going to tie the hands of our intelligence personnel. We cannot afford that in time of war.

You haven't actually listened to Red Hot Chili Peppers, have you? :o)
