The Democratic Party talking point should be

[malaise]

Torture was a political tool of the Bush administration and had nothing to do with national security. Torture was used to attempt to cover their backs after the illegal invasion of Iraq.

Thanks Chris!!

Special Prosecutor NOW

1. I think the Republicans are right now, now, trying to strong arm her

into saying prosecutions are off the table. This is how they'd do it.

[malaise]

3. If she goes down with them

Tough!!

That said I trust her more than the other two parties.

[EFerrari]

5. No one will go done if they can get her to nix prosecution.

Until the international community steps up, anyway

2. Not quite correct...

The public record shows that torture was used back in 2002, long before troops set food in Iraq.

4. Yep. It's how they got into Iraq. n/t

[Enrique]

6. yep

it's a strong point, I agree. There's evidence it's true, and when they deny it, they'll sound like the bullshitters everyone now knows they are.

[polichick]

7. Yes, it should - but first impeachment was "off the table" and now we're "looking forward."

[napi21]

8. It doesn't matter WHY torture was used! IT'S a CRIME!

It's like me robbing a bank, but it's OK because my family had no food to eat! All the nonsense abot "it worked", or "we were afraid of another attack", or "they were covering their a**" doesn't MATTER!

[malaise]

9. True but it matters because

they lied to everyone.
