"I don’t give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!"

In Voiding Suit, Appellate Court Says Torture is to be Expected - CommonDreams.org

In Voiding Suit, Appellate Court Says Torture is to be Expected - CommonDreams.org: "The three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the detainees captured in Afghanistan aren’t recognized as “persons” under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act because they were aliens held outside the United States. The Religious Freedom Act prohibits the government from “substantially burdening a person’s religion.”"

A person in GitMo is not a Person. Got it. Well then, throw out all the rules banning torture, because if they are not people, then it obviously cannot be considered torture.

Wow...
