Did I hear McCain say that the USA Tortures prisoners?

Last night at the candidate”s debate McCain said "the USA will not torture prisoners again".

Since is now apparent that John McCain believes that President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Condoleeza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld and Alberto Gonzales recommended and implemented the torture of prisoners of war; will John McCain testify at their war
criminal trials?

So when do we begin the war criminal trials of: President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Condoleeza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld and Alberto Gonzales?

Do you think that the war criminal trials will be held at The Hague or Nuremburg?

Far fetched?

Her written statement to Senate investigators is the first official high-level acknowledgment of meetings that led to harsh methods such as waterboarding.

WASHINGTON — Senior Bush administration officials held a series of meetings in the White House in 2002 and 2003 to discuss allowing the CIA to use harsh interrogation methods on Al Qaeda detainees, according to a written statement Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice recently provided to Senate investigators.

Rice's written response to investigators on the Senate Armed Services Committee marks the first time a high-ranking White House official has formally acknowledged the White House discussions, which led to the CIA's use of waterboarding and other coercive methods.

In particular, Rice wrote in the Sept. 12 statement that officials discussed simulated torture techniques that elite U.S. soldiers were subjected to as part of a survival training program, and that she and other officials were told that such methods "had been deemed not to cause significant physical or psychological harm."
