Republican Senator John McCain has denounced the use of torture on terrorism suspects during the administration of former president George W. Bush.
"I think the interrogations were in violation of the Geneva Conventions and the convention against torture that we ratified under President Reagan," said McCain.
In an interview with CBS News on Sunday, the Arizona senator said that the enhanced interrogation techniques also helped al Qaeda recruit additional members.
"I think these interrogations, once publicized, helped al Qaeda recruit. I got that from an al Qaeda operative in a prison camp in Iraq,” said McCain, who added that he believed information could have been obtained through other methods.
"And I believe that information, according go the FBI and others, could have been gained through other methods," according to McCain.

Reason #423,647 why I am glad I voted for Chuck Baldwin and not Juan Squishy McBlame.
Nothing like appeasing Islamic Terrorists....thanks McBlame!
Everybody attacks Bush. McCain is no different...In fact it was the hatred of Bush and Cheney that got Zero elected. Those who voted for Zero hated Bush and Cheney more than they love America.
McCain is irrelevant except for the fact that he is now the answer to the Trivia Question:
Who did the WORST PRESIDENT of the United States beat out to get elected?
I'm going to have to look back on all the links I've visited to see who it was...it was the perfect, perfect answer!!! FReepers Rock.

Ummmm like how McLame? A steak dinner and a movie? Maybe a bottle of chiante and some crackers?...
And in terms of recruiting Mclame, they didn’t need us to interrogate them in a “rough way” to save our Country from other attacks.... They were/still are lining up by the thousands to want to kill us. dohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
John and Megan:
STFU!
When is someone going to tell this guy that Terrorists aren’t covered by the rules of the Geneva Conventions.
Senator, please retire. You obviously are way past your best by date.
The Convention your grandstand on in 2006 was passed LONG AFTER the events in the CIA report.
In addition, the Geneva Convention rules terrorists as "unlawful combatants". It does not apply in any way shape or form.
Once again Senator, you demonstrate yourself willfully ignorant of basic facts in your desperation to mug for the Democrat Party "news" media.
“...helped al Qaeda recruit. I got that from an al Qaeda operative in a prison camp in Iraq,” said McCain
McPain demonstrating once again his supernatural gullability. Nice John..very nice.
Did he tell you about those bad Jews and how Isreal is the real problem and we should be fighting there? Did he tell you how islam is peaceful and the dhimi’s of the world have nothing to fear? Did you give him your card, John, and tell him to call you if he felt personally mistreated? Geeeezzz!
Pea-brain mccain strikes again!!
What a Schmuck. Does he REALLY think he’s gonna get another run at POTUS???
Please AZ voters, SEND THIS GUY TO THE GLUE FACTORY!
I’d like to know what McWhatshisname’s poll numbers look like in Arizona. It seems he’s become their Village Idiot...
Didn’t Mc Cain graduate last in his class at Annapolis? I guess that is why he doesn’t understand the Geneva Convention Rules. Probably slept through that class.
The second MONEY QUOTE of the day! Bingo! I hope the GOP can nominate (without the help of the MSM) something other than his ilk...
Good old Manchurian McCain doing his masters’ bidding again.
One of the leaders of the Republicrat party. How anyone can remain in the OP with this socialist leaning politician leading the charge is beyond me.
TERM LIMITS. TERM LIMITS. TERM LIMITS. TERM LIMITS. TERM LIMITS.....
