bush attemptng to make it illegal to say that bush tortured you

Bush wants judge to tell torture victims that they can't tell anyone what Bush did to them

Does that include the Red Cross when they come to visit the prisoners? Or how about US courts that are investigating the White House's absuses against innocent Americans? How can you make classified what you do to me?

From the Washington Post:

The Bush administration has told a federal judge that terrorism suspects held in secret CIA prisons should not be allowed to reveal details of the "alternative interrogation methods" that their captors used to get them to talk.

The government says in new court filings that those interrogation methods are now among the nation's most sensitive national security secrets and that their release -- even to the detainees' own attorneys -- "could reasonably be expected to cause extremely grave damage." Terrorists could use the information to train in counter-interrogation techniques and foil government efforts to elicit information about their methods and plots, according to government documents submitted to U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton on Oct. 26.

This isn't about national security. It's about Bush not wanting the Red Cross and the New York Times to report that he's been torturing people again.

Are there any Republicans who still believe in what America used to stand for?
