I love this ad's implication that if one were tortured, they would be better suited to be President. Now while McCain has been an outspoken advocate against torture, he did fail to vote against a bill condemning waterboarding, probably because he knew the President was going to veto it. Regardless, it is difficult to use torture as a credential for being President while failing to vote against its use. Also, does this mean that one of the people we have tortured could one day use their experience as a credential for being President of some Middle Eastern country if Bush's plan to democratized the region succeeds? Now wouldn't that be ironic.

Interesting ad. He has served. He has been imprisoned as a POW. He was treated as a POW. So how does that make him better suited to deal with Gitmo detainees? You'd think, he'd have come out with more vocal condemnations about prisoner treatment. At least, he could vote according to strong beliefs.
