Fiends,
Bush has lowered our standing in the world to the point that we could be a part of the Axis of Evil.
Peace and Love (just not here in the US)

"By refusing to impose on the CIA the same anti-torture prohibitions mandated by the Army Field Manual...............Bush cast his lot with the world's torturers and against the global human rights movement that was until recently the centerpiece of American foreign policy.
And by making the claim that the country would have been attacked again after 9/11 were it not for the CIA's interrogation program -- a claim allowed to go unrefuted in most media coverage -- Bush has further damaged his credibility among those who are paying attention."
"Senator John D. Rockefeller IV of West Virginia, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I have heard nothing to suggest that information obtained from enhanced interrogation techniques has prevented an imminent terrorist attack. And I have heard nothing that makes me think the information obtained from these techniques could not have been obtained through traditional interrogation methods used by military and law enforcement interrogators. On the other hand, I do know that coercive interrogations can lead detainees to provide false information in order to make the interrogation stop."
