Bush and torture.

If "waterboarding" a terrorist for information is called "torture" - then what would you call being forced to jump from a 120 story building because of a 400 degree fire.
An involuntary and tragic response to a clearly unlawful and savage act by terrorists. But that doesn't make torture any less torture.

Don't try and pretty it up. If you're going to advocate abandoning the principles upon which this country was founded, the principles that brought both your ancestors and mine here, to become part of a nation where such acts as torture were clearly recognized as universally wrong, then have the balls to stand up and admit it.
