Bush vetoes bill to ban waterboarding (National)

He calls tough interrogation methods 'valuable tools' in fighting terrorists. Democrats likely do not have enough votes to override the president's rare veto.

This article is very important in todays news. Not only does it point to the glaring fact that this president is continuing to use harsh techniques that are considered "war crimes" like waterboarding prisoners of war, but it shows the GOP candidate,
John McCain, has flip-flopped once again. This time it is against his own policies.

McCain, a POW in the vietnam war, has always been against torture until a recent vote when McCain sided once again with President Bush.

It is proof that there is nothing McCain stands for that can be considered solid beliefs of his own.

It is a sad day when the senate and the congress move like it's a stalemate in a chess game on the house floor. These stagnant votes grinding against presidential vetos is really taking its toll. America is feeling the 50/50 split among its democrat and republican citizens, and no one dares to mention the "R" word that is already pinching the middle class down while gas and food prices continue to climb.
To say that something has gone seriously wrong is one thing, but to continue to let it go on and do nothing to stop it is something seriously baffling.
