that I see no compelling need to. As I've said before, I do not believe that
waterboarding is torture, I do not believe that the previous administration had
a policy promoting the use of torture, and I don't think that your
pretending to be the arbiter of all that is righteous, pure and holy

shame routine and save it for closing arguments in kiddy court
alright?"<br><br><font size="2"><br><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Before anyone criticizes the lonely locksmith over this only apparently puerile outburst, they need to understand the pressure he is under.</span><br style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">

<br style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">He is our leader. Cut him some slack if he seems irrational and childish. He is going where few dare to go.</span><br style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">
