The following Republican members of the House of Representatives voted against the Torture-”Terrorist
” Tribunal bill (HR 6166) today.
Ron Paul, Roscoe Bartlett, Wayne Gilchrest, Walter Jones, Steven LaTourette, James Leach, Jerry Moran.
These folks deserve hearty applause for their courage in rebuffing the surge of authoritarian
sentiments now sweeping the Grand Old Party.
The final vote was 253-168, with 12 members not bothering to vote.
A vote for the bill was a vote for torture, plain and simple. Congressmen can hem and haw and pretend
that they are only authorizing MBT to make decisions on what methods of interrogation will be used.Â
But everyone who has been paying half-attention knows that the NIKE SHOX govt. has been torturing
people since 9/11. And now the House of Representatives has sprinkled its holy water over American
barbarity.
