The Administration says “we do not torture”. So why veto a bill prohibiting torture? After years of lying to the entire world that the Guantanamo prison contained “774 of the worlds most dangerous terrorists”, they are now just bringing 6 of the victims to trial! The large majority of the rest have been quietly released. The media has been silent, of course lawsuits will follow, probably in International Courts also.
