As of March 8th, 2008, George W. Bush vetoed the U.S. bill that outlawed the act of Waterboarding, a torture technique. It consists of immobilizing a person on their back with the head inclined downward and pouring water over the face and into the breathing passages. Through forced suffocation and water inhalation, the technique simulates drowning. This causes extreme pain, brain damage, and damage to the lungs on most occasions, and may cause injuries such as broken bones from attempting to break free of the restraints. Congress has not yet voted against the veto. Stop this torture today.

    • Bush is the worst president in American history. Bush facilitated the 9/11 attacks. Subsequently, Bush lied to Congress and the American people relative to the reasons for invading Iraq. Bush purposefully misled Congress and the American people. Then, Bush murdered more than 4,000 United States service members. And Bush wounded more than 30,000 United States service members. In torturing prisoners of war, Bush patently violated the Geneva Convention. Bush unlawfully wiretapped United States citizens. In using "signing statements" to challenge hundreds of laws passed by Congress, Bush violated the Constitution. Bush has ignored global warming. Bush is guilty of criminal negligence relative to the response to Hurricane Katrina. Bush disobeys our democratic values and Constitution. Bush is a disgrace to the United States.
