"This Government Does Not Torture"

riiiiight uh okay then we'll just ignore the torture and the memo calling for torture to be used. And the people who've been tortured? Well they are all just mistaken.
To me there is no difference between Bush saying we don't torture and Bill Clinton saying "I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky" except Clinton was under oath.

I think it is past time when any government representative be automatically under oath when they take the podium and speak to the American people. Congress should pass a law that elected officials and their staff are under oath to tell the truth when in front, behind, or anywhere under the official seal of this government.

Otherwise these people will lie and call it a mis-interpretation or mis-statement.
