Angry Banana on American Torture and the Iraq Connection

This banana is angry, and his species isn't even involved. Why? Because he just found out that the hundreds of instances of U.S. government water torture were used by the Bush administration to try to drag the claim out of detainees that somehow Saddam Hussein and Iraq were behind the attacks of September 11, 2001. Why? Because George W. Bush and Dick Cheney wanted to go to war. Hundreds of drownings to get false information in order to go off to a war that killed hundreds of thousands of people, killed thousands of Americans, blew a trillion dollar hole in the budget, and for what? For the pursuit of a lie, of weapons of mass destruction that did not exist. Arrr! The question is not why this banana is so angry. The question is, why aren't you? If this gets you angry, what are you going to do about it?
