>Sen. John McCain on Wednesday vowed to stand against reported efforts by President Donald Trump to ease limits on the treatment of suspected terrorists in U.S. custody, reminding Trump that Congress has passed an anti-torture law.
>“The president can sign whatever executive orders he likes,” McCain said in a statement responding to a New York Times report that Trump has drafted an executive order paving the way for the return of George W. Bush-era detainee treatment standards. “But the law is the law. We are not bringing back torture in the United States of America.”
>The Arizona Republican, who was captured during his Navy service in Vietnam and tortured during more than five years of imprisonment, has long criticized Trump's campaign-trail promise to resurrect waterboarding and other harsh interrogation tactics ended under former President Barack Obama. “I don't give a damn what” Trump wants to do, McCain said in mid-November.
>McCain and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) authored an amendment to the defense authorization bill signed by Obama last year that establishes the Army Field Manual as the standard for tactics used to question detainees and allows the International Red Cross access to terrorism suspects in U.S. custody. That amendment largely codified Obama executive orders from 2009 that also made those two changes to interrogation policies that raised global alarms during the George W. Bush administration.

How does the leftist drive by media mix up words like warn and plead so often? Are they just not educated?
Ethan Hall
McCain should have died in that tiger cage.

Carson Clark
Can this faggot die already?
Dylan Cox
What did McCain do to piss off Sup Forums so much? Did he try to ban traps or something?
Dylan Sullivan
McCain REALLY hates torture. He told the Gooks everything they wanted to know to avoid it. He also sucked their cocks. A true American hero.
Chase Garcia
He's a neocon globalist shill and always has been. There's never been a time where he was well liked here other than being "not obama"
Lincoln Butler
He's a horrible, horrible man who supports al qeada Fuck him

Evan Hughes

Kevin Carter
Because of him, we got Obama. If Republicans had put up someone better than that tired old man, we might have won in 2008.
Evan Torres
He is a neocon who created ISIS.
No politician can use their history to prevent criticism of their shitty policy. I am in some ways glad Obama was elected, because McCain is such shit.
Aiden Diaz
Even Obummer was better than the al quaeda supporter or the mormon.

>McCain should have died in that tiger cage. Grace Paley described the prison life of one of the 300 women who were incarcerated in the Tiger Cages in her 1998 book, Just As I Thought:
In prison, Thieu Thi Tao was beaten on the head with truncheons. Her head was locked between two steel bars. Water was forced down her throat. She was suspended above the ground. Then, on November 20, 1968, she was transferred to national police headquarters. The Vietnamese Catholic priest, Father Chan Tin, in a plea for international concern about her case, wrote that she was "further beaten and subjected to electric shock." "She's become insane," Father Tin wrote, "unable to sleep for fifteen days, believing herself to be a pampered dog that could only eat bread and milk. Not being given these, she refused to eat and became so weak she couldn't talk. When the wind blew she wanted to fly.
Late in 1969 Tao was transferred to the Tiger Cages of Con Son. She was there for a year and transferred to the Bien Hoa Insane Asylum. For several days, she was hung from an iron hook. Her spine was damaged by this torture and she still wears a neck brace.
"You saved our lives," Tao later wrote. "I still remember the strange foreign voices when you came. In the cages, we wondered what new indignities were to be visited upon us. But a foreigner [myself] who spoke Vietnamese with a heavy accent told us it was a U.S. congressional investigation. We had prayed for such an inquiry and took the chance to speak of the tortures. We begged for water and food. We were dying you know."
Joshua Garcia
He's absolutely fucking right. The United States of America should not torture people.
How fucked do you have to be to disagree with that?
Ethan Ward
>no torture bad guys pls...
>"We won't do anything unnecessary. Believe me."
Kayden Gonzalez
>reported efforts Did no one watch the press conference? That shit wasn't even released by the White House. It's actual Fake News
Logan Wood
So let me get this straight.
> Oy Vey! Obama is weak and didn't act on the red line he drew in Syria! We need to send 10,000s of soldiers to Syria to fight Russia! Oy Vey!
> Oy Vey! We cannot waterboard terrorists! We have to treat them with respect and allow them to pray 3 times a day and we need to buy them new Qurans to read! Oy Vey! Don't torture enemies! But send thousands of young Americans to die on Syria! Oy vey!
This old fuck should have died in Vietnam.
Michael Moore
Only teenagers in this thread support torture.

Foreign citizens are not protected by the US constitution, bong. Torture them until they talk, or until they die. Makes no difference.
Jason Reyes
muslims aren't people
Hudson Martinez
Torture has already been proven to be very ineffective a lot of people that were tortured were held without charges and later proving they had no extremist's ties Trump is a retard if he wants to pursue this no win policy
Leo Carter
russkie prick
Aaron Rodriguez
>The United States of America should not torture people
I agree. But muslims aren't people :^)
Jeremiah Kelly
>Foreign citizens are not protected by the US constitution,
That's not how it works, retard.
Once you are in US soil, you are protected by the constitution.
Learn how your system works, retard.
Adam Sanders
doesn't change the fact that McCain is a terrible senator who should be put in prison.
Carter Rodriguez
Why do you think we have Gitmo on CUBAN soil, achmed? Mad that we tortured your little jihadi buddies?
Caleb Gomez

Eli Sanders
Didn't Spicer already say it's not a Whitehouse document?
Brody Young
I support fair trials, retard.
Resorting to memes is LITERALLY NOT an argument.
Andrew Davis
Except for that fact that they are people. And torturing people is not only morally disgusting but totally ineffective.
Do you retards know you're retarded?
Oliver Howard
Lmao what is this crusty old fuck going to do about it? Run for president?
Oh wait
Lucas Adams
To the Vietnamese people and the government of the DRVN:
From John Sidney McCain, 624787, Lieutenant Commander, U.S. Navy, born 29 August, 1936, Panama, home state Oregon. Shot down 26 October, 1967, A-4E aircraft.
I, as a U.S. airman, am guilty of crimes against the Vietnamese country and people. I bombed their cities, towns and villages and caused many injuries, even deaths, for the people of Vietnam.
I was captured in the capital city of Hanoi, while attacking it. After I was captured, I was taken to the hospital in Hanoi, where I received very good medical treatment. I was given an operation on my leg, which allowed me to walk again, and a cast on my right arm, which was badly broken in three places.
The doctors were very good and they knew a great deal about the practice of medicine. I remained in the hospital for some time and regained much of my health and strength. Since I arrived in the camp of detention, I received humane and lenient treatment.
I received this kind treatment and food even though I came here as an aggressor and the people who I injured have much difficulty in their living standards. I wish to express my deep gratitude for my kind treatment and I will never forget this kindness extended to me.
Grayson Martin
If they're on cuban soil in gitmo they are not protected by the US constitution

There's was 0 chance for republicans to win in 08. At least we didn't get Hillary.
Andrew Flores

mccain is a hero
Sebastian Stewart
Doesn't make it right that they have been imprisoned without fair trial, retard.
Enjoy your loss of freedo-er, I mean ""Patriot"" Act!
Carter Cook
Try not to get captured this time John.
Isaiah Brooks
Torture can work but there's a certain method to it.
If you get a guy and bash his legs with a tire iron while telling him to tell the truth he'll just tell you whatever you want to hear so you'll stop hurting him.
The key is that you already have intel, and you condition him into thinking that you are omnipotent by asking questions that you already know the answer to and only responding with torture if you know he's fucking with you. If your intel is flawed or compromised somehow this basically makes you into a monster
Nathaniel Sanders
Nah.
Be grateful for that because is because of Obama´s shitty run that Trump was elected.
William Young
>If they're on cuban soil in gitmo they are not protected by the US constitution
torture is immoral and ineffective
it also brings disgrace to flags and nations
not a good idea
Juan Sanders
torture has a very particular meaning. (((they))) are dismantling language to dismantle our nation. when (((((media))))) says "torture", doesn't mean torture.
i guarantee trump didn't use the term "torture", because trump isn't a communist. it's like newspeak: "rape", "violence", "immigrant", "refugee", "religion of peace", "racist", "hitler", "nationalism", "america first", "right wing" "republican", "michelle is a woman", "michelle isn't a male gorilla", "democrat", etc.
these fuckers need to be lined up and shot.

You do realise that he is (((they)))?

What the fuck are you talking about? It's common knowledge anyone who supports Trump is the ignorant and uneducated one.

Torture will still happen like it already does. They'll keep shipping the suspects in Ukraine and Belarus and they'll get tortured and interrogated there like they've been doing since Guantanamo got spotted.
Angel Taylor
I can't wait for McCain to die. Literally bitching about god damn nothing all the time.
>waaah waaah it was hillarys turn Fucking terrorist loving piece of shit. Fuck McCain. I hope he gets tortured.

On a side note, I had a person recently tell me that ''I should respect his opinion about how math works'' as if math has place for opinions now.
Imagine what they do to language. > I think you're a fascist because you like hamburgers
Joseph Flores
He never had a snowball's chance in Hell of winning in 08. He was the Republican sacrificial lamb that year, being nominated simply due to it being "his turn."
He was decided on in the same way that the Democrats typically select their nominees, really.
Oliver Martin
I never supported that, Finnegan.
