Seattle Lacks Intelligence Post: But sir... Article 3 prohibits torture!

Prez-i-Prez: You know, you all keep sayin' that! I'm sayin' it is a very, VERY vague sentence! But you know, I'm tired of this! If I can't torture the way I want to I'm takin' my torture kit and goin' home!
Aide: Sir, you ARE home, we're on the south lawn!
Prez-i-Prez: Fine then! I'm goin' to my room! I'm not gonna torture anyone ANY more! Ha! And I was gonna start on American citizens next! But FINE! Hurrummmpphhh!
