Obama's blunders and lies ... Churchill said "we don't torture"...... page 8

Obama was asked at a press conference a few months ago about his decision to release the "torture memos" and ban waterboarding. He responded with "I was struck by an article that I was reading the other day talking about the fact that the British during World War II, when London was being bombed to smithereens, had 200 or so detainees. And Churchill said, ‘We don't torture,' when . . . all of the British people were being subjected to unimaginable risk and threat. . . . Churchill understood, you start taking shortcuts, over time, that corrodes what's best in a people. It corrodes the character of a country."

He is wrong and this coming from a man who claims to be a history buff  is truly pitiable.
