MSNBC Countdown w/ David Shuster - July 20, 2009: Shuster speaks with Jonathan Turley about the capture of PFC Bowe Bergdahl and the Geneva Conventions.

TURLEY: When they come and waterboard one of our soldiers, whether it's Iran or the Taliban, and argue that 'we're doing nothing that you did not do; we're simply interrogating, this is not torture' - it's gonna put us face to face with our own hypocrisy. And I think for those people who were not moved by the immorality of our torture program, they must, I hope, understand the impracticality of that program, and how it endangers people like this soldier and American citizens held in Iran and North Korea and in other nations.

5. Bullshit too. The Bush administration turned torture into a regime.You don't know shit

[bjobotts]

6. They did it for political gain, to justify a war/invasion not to prevent attacks

[bjobotts]

7. They were heartless, sadistic, revenge seekers.No other administration did what Bush did.

[bjobotts]

8. What they did was criminal and just gnerally and widely applied.Shameful to America
