Americans do you trust Bush-Cheney not to torture americans in this country?

the fbi and the cia have been doing it as long as they'be been organisations\nthe justice department includes the police, so that's a no-brainer\nthe Navy and the Air Force have their own police forces and the right to act independently of the nations judiciary, so that's an open invitation to corruption\nwhat it comes down to is they are human organisations peopled by human beings who are as varied and flawed as the general population and who have gone through as many changes culturally\nof course Americans have tortured Americans\nas to trusting bush or cheney, i still can't believe they were elected to minor public positions, let alone positions of absolute power; absolute power corrupts absolutely, but these two were already absolutely corrupted long before they got there\nChrist weeps and the devil smiles when these two come to mind

why do American people get so up tight when any one asks this question. it concerns them more than everyone. they might have been lied to by there government and they need to ask these questions them self's . the American people don't work for bush . bush work for the people he is paid to look after them not to lie to them . but Americans treat him like a emperor or a king . all evidence i have seen shows that there is a possibility that the government maybe involved. \nit may have been easy to hijack a few planes but how did these Arabs have the power to take over control of the air defence systems of the most power full nation in the world.\nand who gained from these acts not the American people not the Arabs ? the people in the US government have all gained AR MES OIL control over the middle east and the longer these wars go on the more they will gain.\ni sometimes see some snarly answers from some people on this site they say go back and find put on your tin foil hat. but i say they are the fools whats the problem with trying to know for sure if you have been lied to.America wake up because you are the real victims innocent people are getting murdered in your name.

No, i think the fear of having Cheney as president would keep anyone from looking for a reason to impeach Bush......plus we have more pressing matters to attend to... weather or not bush screwed up is for historians ... right now we need to fix what is broken and move on.

Yes I am concerned, but Congress rolled over and it is legal to torture....which I think makes us all the more unsafer. Think of a soldier captured and getting tortured.

Why should anyone trust Bush?\n\nOf course I "mind." My rights are mine, and they are non-negotiable. Why don't you invite Bush into your bedroom every night? Do you have "something to hide"?

Because not everyone in the country beleives what is spoon fed to them by the media...we aren't all conspiracy theorists and don't publicly hang people without a trial.  If there was 1 shred of evidence to any of the conspiracy theories or "Bush lied" montra, the man would not be in office, he would be in jail.  Truth matters to many Americans, but that number is dwindling.

The entire world KNOWS what happened and how the U.S. government lied to all it's people and caused all that suffering death to their very own and then to take it over-seas more death.. more death.. more death.. more suffering in Iraq, Afganistan and soon..Iran.\nI truly would be embarassed to have a leader such a Bush or Cheney STILL in power.. They both should be in jail..oops we just lost a few Hundred billion dollars hehe..no biggie..oh..you just lost you right to speak freely..hehe..No biggie\nThe American people seem oblivious to all the lies, the dead, more lies, loss of freedoms..loss of rights....What a pity.

We dont think American are stupid we do however believe that you can be found to be slightly naive. You see us Europeans here the American Governments Propaganda all the time but unlike the American ppl we actually know the truth about world events and political situations so at times we cannot believe that the American ppl believe G.Bush`s crap seriously no body had much problems with the Americans until that Muppet came along

Following your logic there would seem to be at least three possibilities:\n\n1) America is not, in fact, such a great place\n2) America does not have "such a lying President"\n3) America can be a great place, even if it has a lying President.\n\nI think most Americans would agree with #3, though we might differ on who would be examples of a "lying President".   I, for instance, believe America was great even when Lyndon Johnson and Bill Clinton were President, though I trust the honesty of neither.\n\nAnd then there's the problem of lying Americans (not all, of course), or perhaps those who just fool themselves or presume to speak for everyong else... such as someone telling you that "most of the people here don't endorse him", which is based on. . .?   (certainly not the polls), or those who declare that 'he cheated to get into office' when they have not a SHRED of evidence, only nasty accusations.   Or someone who arrogantly proclaims "I am better than the ones [millions upon millions!] who voted for him. . .   or our cut-and-paster who gave you a litany of Bush's supposed faults which is littered with outdated numbers, misinformation and innuendo.  (Sadly, it takes a lot of space to correct one-sentence errors.  But I've followed the news, read original speeches, reports, etc., enough to know that many of these claims are dubious or distorted.)\n\nSo, just who is it that has an issue with TRUTH ?     I don't think it's the current President.  Nor would I dare say it's the millions who voted for someone else.  Most of them, I am sure, did what they thought was right.  I also believe most of them, though they may disagree with Bush in small ways or large, do NOT simply dismiss him as a liar.   (Don't be fooled by those who make the most noise!  And I'm not even saying THEY are all liars.  I believe some are simply and sincerely mistaken.  I would hope they would show the rest of us, with whom they disagree, similar respect and not assume base motives and stupidity.)

America doesn't feel this way and would welcome ...please! ... responsible behavior from other countries. Thank you coalition of the willing.\nMuch of the rest of the world knows America will step up to the plate and handle the undesirable work of preserving freedom and security for all.\nThese countries profit from and exacerbate the world's problems and sit on their thumbs...or worse ...while America (and coalition) cleans up their messes.

First off, Domestic Warrentless Spying is a misnomer.  For decades, the government can listen to calls without a warrent, and then go for a warrent afterwards.  In this case, the Bush administration used executive power to say that a warrent isn't even needed after the fact, which is something the Clinton adminstration did as well.  It is not to monitor your calls to your friends.  It is to monitor calls that are received from and placed to known terrorists overseas.\nSecond, Congress passed a law which Bush signed, creating strict restrictions against torture and affirming that it is illegal.  So, Bush isn't supporting torture.

Firstly, I like this question, unbiased enough to spark debate.  Better than just saying: THE WORLD IS BETTER WITH BUSH... or THE WORLD IS LESS SAFE WITH BUSH.\n\nBut my opinion on the matter is that I've never felt so vulnerable as an American in my life.  It's hard to travel around in foreign countries, our middle class is eroding, etc...\n\nI think Bush's policies, though meant well for hte most part, aren't working.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that Americans do torture people from time to time.  I think it's mostly in retaliation for the atrocities committed by the enemy, and although I think it's human nature and understandable for our people to do things like that, I also think it's important for our soldiers to try to hold themselves to a higher standard than the Muslim animals who perpetrate such acts against us.  It's hard not to exact revenge against pigs like them, but it's important that our servicemen and women try to adhere to a higher, more honorable standard  than the enemy.  It's what distinguishes us from the so-called "people" we are fighting against.

No way, at least Bush is an American man.\nBy the way, we reserve the right for any AMERICAN to call Bush the devil. Not some crazed, divisive dicatator from South America.

Last time I checked, over 60% of americans approve of warrantless spying by the gov't.  Oh well, we get the gov't we deserve.  \n\nMore americans should read 1984, Animal Farm and a history of the US Constitution.  They would change their attitude.

we don't..it's quite obvious that it isn't. If you're going to question Intelligence instead of saying "Americans" name one that you know believes it to be true and go from there.

Yes, Americans will allow Bush to do what he wants. The administration has succeeded in paralyzing many people into non-action. I recommend that you go here, and get invovled!\nBush is not,"We The People", but it is clear he doesn't care much what we think.\n\nhttp://www.thefourreasons.org/
