Question?? Did Bush and/or Cheney directly participate in torture via real-time video feed?
A disturbing thought, admittedly, and a question deserving of some attention. We already know that real time viewing from remote locations now plays a significant role in military operations. This capability is quite simple to set up today. In technological terms, it is entirely possible.

Such usage of the videos would go a long way in explaining how many crimes are already on the docket for covering up the existence of the videos.

Did video taping of interrogations begin for the purpose of remote viewing in real time?

If so, who was viewing? Who was participating?
(And, please, don't say the Dem Congress!!)

1. It was much more involved.
Bush and Cheney would strap into enlarged Rock-em Sock-ems and their movements were beamed to equivalent Rock-em Sock-ems doing the torture.

4. Perhaps. Virtual Torture.
Be certain that if there is a profit to be made, the Bush crime family already holds ownership to these tapes, polished, edited and ready for distribution.
Educational Torture Training Videos. Blackwater would be first in line to purchase. With US taxpayer dollars of course.

Should have been impeached long ago. Thanks for nothing Pelosi.

8. Now that's a creepy thought!
Imagine, if you will, being pushed to your limit via torture. Imagine bearing the greatest pain and humiliation you could even bear. Then imagine in the midst of all this hearing The Chimp's voice blurt out over loudspeakers:

Ask him for the answer! Ask him now! Wait, I'm not through yet! Ask, him...(unintelligible garble)...! More water! MORE...!!!...heh-heh-heh

I could see this resembling that scene from "Kiss of Death" (1947) in which psycho Richard Widmark is giggling uncontrollably at the boxing match while cheering on one boxer to "rip the eye out" of the other boxer.

9. Imagine you are hooded and cannot see who is in the room or that there are camers and speakers.
And, you are being interrogated by a voice you recognize as ???

The highest value targets were videotaped. It is difficult to not conclude the highest ranks were involved, right up to one calling himself "The Decider."

10. There's no evidence of that
Why, something you'd like to share with the world?

12. How can you prove such a negative assertion? Maybe there is/WAS??
It is a question to consider.
Ask no questions, get no answers.

I'm trying to imagine why so many crimes were committed in relation to
these videos, crimes to cover up there existence and to destroyed them.

13. I didn't say I could prove it
I simply said there's no evidence that it happened.

14. So, prove it. It is a negative assertion, easy to say and impossible to prove.

15. WTF?
Are you able to read? I didn't say there's no evidence to support your theory, I said "There's no evidence of that" (your speculation having happened). My assertion isn't false...unless, as I asked, you know something the rest of us don't.
