Big NEWS DUMP: Our government admitted today that they TORTURE.

[tekisui]

If this were any day other than Super Tuesday, it would be all over the.....wait, no. If it were any day other than Super Tuesday, the US doesn't torture, never has, never would.

Guess what, it's openly admitted now, and when will we get Impeachment Hearings? They have admitted to violations of International Law and violations of US Law and violations to the Constitution.

C'mon Nancy, NOW IS THE TIME!

IMPEACH '08!

1. to the Hague with thee, BushCo

don't let the door hit your fetid asses on the way out.

[mod mom]

21. If there was rule of law that is where their sorry asses would be!

[uppityperson]

2. k&r for "but only 3 times and because we felt we had to" admissions.

[tekisui]

4. "We do not torture. Never. We do not torture....Okay, just three times."

"But, that is all. None others. Ever....."

[Justitia]

10. Not 3 TIMES, but 3 VICTIMS (multiple times) - they'd love for us to think it was only 3 times

Just wanted to throw that out there, as I'm sure Hayden is trying to plant that seed.

And of course, I don't believe it's only 3 victims either.

[tekisui]

14. Very good point.

[uppityperson]

23. good point, thank you for that.

"but it was only 3 really really bad guys and we needed to find out something, anything, real or not, and besides we just wanted to"

[frog92969]

43. "we just wanted to" is right!

Everyone knows that torture doesn't work, and is highly illegal.

There really is no other reason, these sadistic bastards just wanted to get their kicks.

[madokie]

15. And theres no place for qualifiers in the law

[Th1onein]

3. Where is the link for this?

WHO admitted it and in what venue?

[tekisui]

5. CIA says used waterboarding on three suspects

http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSN05191813


Hayden admitted it.


WASHINGTON, Feb 5 (Reuters) - The CIA used a widely condemned interrogation technique known as waterboarding on three suspects captured after the Sept. 11 attacks, CIA Director Michael Hayden told Congress on Tuesday.

"Waterboarding has been used on only three detainees," Hayden told the Senate Intelligence Committee. It was the first time a U.S. official publicly specified the number of people subjected to waterboarding and named them.

Critics call waterboarding a form of illegal torture. Congress is considering banning the technique.

Those subjected to waterboarding were suspected Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and senior al Qaeda leaders Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, Hayden said at the hearing on threats to the United States.

He said waterboarding has not been used in five years.

[Solly Mack]

8. There's that phrase again

"a form of illegal torture"

Because there exist a form of legal torture?

That's the implication...

[Torn_Scorned_Ignored]

46. banning waterboarding

(Critics call waterboarding a form of illegal torture. Congress is considering banning the technique.)


Hopefully Congress will do this. Then Bush can put a Signing Statement on declaring he is above the law as usual, but he would then admit the Torture he says "we" don't do - and be solely responsible for authorizing it.

[malaise]

6. Why don't we bombard MSNBC and insist

that they mention this while they wait for vote counting.

[tekisui]

7. Hey. If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time.

Do you know the e-mail and/or phone number?

[Justitia]

11. reality headline: US WAR CRIMINALS ADMIT TORTURE

never gonna see that, are we?

[catnhatnh]

12. Yep...but they lie about how recently....

a recent post about a book about the 911 commission states there were 2 rounds of waterboarding with the most recent being in 2004-so not in the last 5 years? Someone is fibbing.

[SpiralHawk]

13. Impeach the amoral republicon torturers

What Would Jesus Do? Throw the torturing republicon evil-doers out of the Temple of American government. Fer sure.

[tekisui]

18. Kick for Accountability.

[mdmc]

19. Is it torture if it is good for America?

[mdmc]

22. dig your avatar bro

[tekisui]

24. Kick to IMPEACH the War Criminals!!!

[Disturbed]

25. Will anyone be held accountable for the Torture of Detainees?

Maybe a few low level personnel will be charged. I doubt if even that will happen.

The Busholini Regime & it's agencies seem to be above any Laws.

[tekisui]

33. And below any standards.

Disgusting.

[FlyingSquirrel]

26. TALK TO THE HAND.

Don't bother saying Nancy's name.

[tekisui]

27. NANCY?!??!?

NANCY????

Did you hear? The CIA tortures. C'mon. That has to move you? If not this, then what?

Seriously. What?

[redqueen]

38. Complicity. (nt)

[tekisui]

28. Kick for all of us who know that Torture is illegal, harmful to us

and fucking wrong.

[Lugnut]

31. K&R

IMPEACH!

[upi402]

32. wont happen now... impeachment i mean

Kucinich stood up to them and we failed to take him serioiusly and support him. and Edwards had hope.
now things will not change much, maybe a lick around the edges.

the honeymoon euphoria over a black or female prez will fade.
and it will be cemented. we are not be handing over our father's America to our children.

[tekisui]

34. Kick for fresh morning eyes.

[pleah]

35. K&R IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH

[tekisui]

[racaulk]

39. What the hell does somebody have to do to get impeached in this country?

Hey Nancy, are you listening?!?!?!?

K&R

[Hydra]

41. No blowjobs admitted to yet

Although with Jeff Gannon in the WH and Pickles sleeping elsewhere, we know they are happening.

[Hydra]

40. As I predicted

They release the information in dribbles and drabs, slowly boiling the frog.

Where are the riots? Where is the outrage?

Oh, wait. If we crucified Jesus on the WH lawn, most Americans would say "Well, they must have had a good reason, right?"

[OnionPatch]

42. It's just sick that they believe there's justification for torture!

It's just so un-American, it makes me feel ill. :puke:

[Pacifist Patriot]

44. My heart just hurts.

[sellitman]

45. The Torture pResident

Terror, terror, terror, terror,terror, terror, terror,terror, terror, terror,terror, terror, terror.

[Heywood J]

47. Again, Japanese officers after WWII were sentenced to

fifteen years hard labor for waterboarding POWs. The precedent is set, bring out the handcuffs.

[Disturbed]

48. Busholini has repeatedly said: " We do not torture."

America uses "enhanced Interrogation" which is legal.
That is the end of this debate.
