and yet, he is still quoted? why? there is only room for “pundits” on video tape, showing all that wish to see just how they felt. Since the people of this country are so damn stupid, maybe a constant video feed showing how full of shit they are would be a more appropriate counter to their reactive natures?

A few accidents happen here and there. To err is human.

But we should not change our essential policies safeguarding Americans from terrorist strikes based on the ACLU!

Nobody is torturing anybody. Enhanced interrogation is only enhanced interrogation, not torture.

hmm… Nuremberg II?

According to a political appointee within the Bush administration and U.S. intelligence sources, the interrogators at Abu Ghraib included a number of Arabic-speaking Israelis who also helped U.S. interrogators develop the “R2I” (Resistance to Interrogation) techniques. Many of the torture methods were developed by the Israelis over many years of interrogating Arab prisoners on the occupied West Bank and in Israel itself.

In the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings (August 7, 1998), hundreds of people were killed in simultaneous car bomb explosions at the United States embassies in the East African capital cities of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya. The attacks, linked to local members of the al Qaeda terrorist network headed by Osama bin Laden, brought bin Laden and al Qaeda to international attention for the first time, and resulted in the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation placing bin Laden on its Ten Most Wanted list.

Don’t get me wrong, but Bin Laden is wanted for the US Cole bombing. Same crime Clinton was after him for.
The Taliban and AlQaeda need to be taken down, and tried.

Iraq is NOT a valid war action.But, Afghanistan needed to happen.
It was a criminal regime. One Ronnie Raygun helped create, that turned rogue. So….. We are responsible for the monsters we create and the murders that were carried out by Bin Ladin needed to be reconned with, even if 9/11 was not part of that.
Like putting down a junkyard dog that went feral in town.
IMHO.
/disclaimer: my exp in the military may color my opinion on taking down real terrorists.

That said. We also need a Real Investigation in the Criminal Case of “9/11″. Too many loose ends and no official investigation with any substance.

Well, how’s about this folks: SCHOOLS OF THE AMERICAS. Nazis Smazi, it’s homegrown, kids. As for George W. Bush, we don’t need to go to Germany. It’s his fault and he should be held accountable LIKE A STINKING ROTTEN NAZI.

When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on the FBI’s web page, Rex Tomb, the FBI’s Chief of Investigative Publicity, is reported to have said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.”

A. B. Krongard, who was the executive director of the C.I.A., the No. 3 post at the agency, from 2001 to 2004, agreed with that assessment but acknowledged that the agency had to create an interrogation program from scratch in 2002.

He said officers quickly consulted counterparts in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Israel and other countries to compile a “catalog” of techniques said to be effective against Arab and Muslim prisoners.

It’s even worse than that. They can, and indeed likely will, talk, giving out false information — information that takes precious resources and time while the authorities track down every lead provided. The FBI, in fact, has noted this about the information received from Guantanamo. It’s low-quality information that has cost them more than it has gained them.

We’ve also seen it in the inflation of the importance of several of the suspects. When the truth finally comes out, you ultimately realize that many of these are just low-level functionaries that the Bush administration is desperately trying to pass off as ringleaders in order to justify their treatment.

And that’s not even getting into the majority of people at Guantanamo and elsewhere who are completely and totally innocent but who are still tortured and even killed as a result of these tactics.

Yeppers. Osama Bin Forgotten is not wanted by US Law Enforcement for 9/11.

Isn’t that some freaking wild chit??

And call it a day. Anybody in this day and age after seeing the photos at Abu Ghraib, and still doesn’t believe? That person is either really stupid, or yanking your chain.

“Take a look and tell me whats missing?”

Wow. No mention of 9/11!
