Romney, Torture, and Teens
When Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said he’d support doubling the size of the prison at Guantanamo Bay, he was trying to show voters that he’d be tough on terror. Two of his top fundraisers, however, have long supported using tactics that have been likened to torture for troubled teenagers.

The suit alleges that teens were locked in outdoor dog cages, exercised to exhaustion, deprived of food and sleep, exposed to extreme temperatures without adequate clothing or water, severely beaten, emotionally brutalized, and sexually abused and humiliated. Some were even made to eat their own vomit.more

1. When you're a draft dodging coward
running for President one must resort to these things.
Note that John McCain does not.

2. McCain is the reason the torture bill is worse than originally intended - so he gets no pass from me
But it's anice example of hypocrisy.
