McCain on CBS's "Face the Nation"
Around 5.20 mins into the clip McCain starts talking out of both sides of his mouth about the Geneva Convention. McCain says that we need to uphold the Geneva Conventions so that other nations or enemies will also abide by them. Because if they don't, "there is going to be retribution for their violation of them."

Sum: McCain thinks its okay to go after other Geneva Convention signors who violate the rules on torture...just not America!

2. McLame, during the presidential election said,

"AMERICA DOES NOT TORTURE."

He was pretty clear on that.

Now he is trying to pretend that everybody knew about it?
