Pro-Torture Pro-Gitmo GOP
Rawstory:
Debating the treatment of foreign detainees at Tuesday night's debate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said he thought the US should "double" the number of prisoners held in Guantanamo Bay Cuba.
In the same exchange, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani noted again his service in New York following the Sept. 11 attacks and said he would support interrogators using a wide range of means to elicit confessions from suspected terrorists. Moderator Chris Wallace asked if Giuliani would support the use of waterboarding -- a controversial interrogation tactic some say is torture because it makes detainees believe they are drowning.
"Whatever they can think of," Giuliani said
The Bush doctrine has completely infected the Republican party. It's quite apparent most of them didn't get the message sent to them in 2006.
