Morbid Confessions

In George W. Bush's recently released memoirs he announces a key moment in his life in which
after suffering a miscarriage, mother & former First Lady Barbara Bush displayed her unborn partially formed fetus in a jar to the future 43rd President of the United States.
Upon the macabre presentation she grimly announced, "here's the fetus".
This would shape W's perception of abortion.


Bizarro World aside, he also confessed to having gave the orders to waterboard prisoners.


Which is definitely a war crime in direct defiance of the 1949 Geneva Conventions.
Even the Magna Carta of the 12th century recognized that torture was meaningless.
The 5th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which is also part of the Bill of Rights
echoes the same sentiment.
He even went so far as to say waterboarding saved London from attacks.
Specifically he admits giving orders to torture Khalid Sheik Mohammed,
whom was waterboarded 183 times in one month in hopes of obtaining a confession.
More disturbing was the fact that the children of the accused were allegedly
confined to a small box filled with biting insects to extract info concerning their dads whereabouts.
The accusations were backed up by other detainees.
The children, like many others caught in the crosshairs of the "war on terror" have disappeared.

Many other cases of torture exist, such as one concerning Binyam Mohammed,
whom while in custody had his genitals slashed with a doctor's scalpel repeatedly by U.S. forces,
whereupon pictures of the event were taken.
The UK government suppressed the evidence due to MI6 collusion.
