Then there are a LOT of dems you want to punish and shame as well. There's a good reason the Obama admin never conducted this little witch hunt.
Please, don't rewrite history.
So Bin Laden wasn't involved? KSM wasn't involved? I guess 9/11 terrorists on the plane are the only mass murderers in history.
So your list of people you want to punish:
CIA
Brittish intel
Russian intel
German intel
G W Bush
G. H. Bush
B. Clinton
H. Clinton
J. Kerry
That was ok but what, IMO, you should have said was
"no he is for cheney getting waterboarded"
hey ohhhhhhhhh
Actually, I do not wish torture on anybody, including .
As I said earlier, I'll be rather pleased if the guy is not in a position of power ever again.
I think the people who should have reasonably known that we would be sending in Humvees armored with 1/16" nylon doors, into a low-level conflict where the weapon of choice would be roadside IED's should be prosecuted, when they waited until AFTER people started dying to get off their fat asses and do somethign about it.
I think people that couldn't draw the obvious parallels between the last time a totalitarian dictator was removed, releasing centuries of murderous ethnic tension and Iraq, where a totalitarian dictator was removed, releasing centuries of murderous ethnic tension, should not be setting war policy.
I think people in charge of strategy, who DIDN'T EVEN ING READ THE COUNTERINSURGENCY MANUAL, until 3 years after they committed our troops to fighting a reasonably-predicted counter-insurgency...
Should be ing lined up against a wall and shot as traitors.
That includes Cheney.
good thing harsh interrogation methods aren't torture.
Actually, what's good is that waterboarding and it's ilk is no longer considered a harsh interrogation method.
monday morning quarterbacking.
I have a big problem with the pentagon knuckle draggers who saw the proficiency of the mraps with the Marines but wanted to get the HMMWV's full worth. But I don't think it is something criminal. The counter insurgency plan wasn't used because the plan was small footprint. That is a good plan too, it just didn't work as well as the counter insurgency which wasn't even created in a functional manner. The greatest military advancements throughout history came in the middle of war. Also it is historical too to fight the present war with the last war's tactics so the guys planning OIF and OEF aren't very far off target as the predecessors from the beg. of time.
Can you guess the length of time making someone stand becomes torture?
what other mass murdering terrorists do you know about? specifically? I will give you a history and civics 101 lesson. Only the president can send troops into harms way. I bet you didn't know that or you wouldn't have included your stupid list. I guess forrest was right stupid is as stupid does. he must have had people like you in mind when he said this..![]()
I don't guess or dabble in technicalities.
There's nothing to guess in the wording of Article 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Gee, if only criminal statutes, and not Article II Powers of the Executive, applied here.
I wonder if anyone's asked the administration if the Taliban dude in Pakistan was mirandized and provided a lawyer, yet.
So what don't you get dummy? The president laid the case out remember? Oh you're one of those " Bush was duped" crowd..never mind..
I'm sure you will find a blog to say that they probably did..
It all depends on your definition of torture.
Geneva and the UN Convention against torture were signed as treaties. They are US law. Some definitions matter more than others.
Yep. Particularly when the detainee doesn't fit the UN criteria of a person eligible for convention protections.
Words matter; emotions, not so much.
Where is John Yoo when you need him?
Taking Jon Stewart to school.
Maybe you can explain why Cheney clearly chose to own himself by mirandizing the shoe bomber and putting him into the federal, not military, justice system.
Oh, you're just agreeing that you can't explain either.
Got it.
Well, as long as he can manufacture justifications for avoiding treaty obligations, laws, and cons utions -- and rationalize them in conversations with standup comedians -- I suppose he's an asset.
I see you are repeating the latest aired liberal talking points...
The Shoe Bomber was Mirandized before anyone knew the extent of his attempted crime. It was days later that more was known.
