Bush Torture & Gay Sex ----- Immoral????????

FBI EMAIL INDICATES BUSH GAVE APPROVAL TO TORTURE

NEW STANDARD - Repeated references in an internal FBI email
suggest that the president issued a special order to permit
some of the more objectionable torture techniques used at
Abu Ghraib and other US-run prison facilities around Iraq.
The email was among a new batch of FBI documents revealed by
civil rights advocates on Monday. . . The email, which was
obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union, represents
the first hard evidence directly connecting the Abu Ghraib
prison abuse scandal and the White House. The author of the
email, whose name is blanked out but whose title is described
as "On Scene Commander -- Baghdad," contains ten explicit
mentions of an "Executive Order" that the author said
mandated US military personnel to engage in extraordinary
interrogation tactics.

An Executive Order is a presidential edict -- sometimes public,
sometimes secretive -- instituting special laws or instructions
that override or complement existing legislation. The White
House has officially neither admitted nor denied that the
president has issued an Executive Order pertaining to
interrogation techniques.

The specific methods mentioned in the email as having been
approved by the unnamed Executive Order and witnessed by FBI
agents include sleep deprivation, placing hoods over prisoners'
heads, the use of loud music for sensory overload, stripping

"stress positions," and the employment of work dogs...

CHAIR OF JOINT CHIEFS THINKS KILLING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE IS JUST FINE, BUT GAY SEX IS IMMORAL

PAULINE JELINEK, ASSOCIATED PRESS - In a newspaper interview
Monday,Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff, had likened homosexuality to adultery and said the
military should not condone it by allowing gays to serve
openly in the armed forces. . .
He was responding to a question about the "don't ask,
don't tell" policy .. . Pace said he supports the policy,
which became law in 1994 and prohibits commanders from asking
about a person's sexual orientation. "I believe homosexual acts
between two individuals are immoral and that we should not
condone immoral acts," Pace was quoted as saying in the
newspaper interview. "I do not believe the United States is
well served by a policy that says it is OK to be
immoral in any way."

"As an individual, I would not want (acceptance of gay behavior)
to be our policy, just like I would not want it to be our policy
that if we were to find out that so-and-so was sleeping with
somebody else's wife, that we would just look the other way, which
we do not. We prosecute that kind of immoral behavior," he said.
