Former CIA agent: â€˜highly likelyâ€™ Bush saw torture tapes.

In spy lingo ‘Yes, he did”.

What’s outrageous is not the criminal behavior by this Administration, it’s the fact that they consistently get away with it.

It’s disgusting.

If this allegation is true, it would be one stunning development, and it would shed a whole new light on Pres Bush’s personality, as well as the decisions he made since he launched his “war on terror”.

I cannot fathom a normal person seeing someone else being tortured on tape, and not conclude the practice should be stopped.

Get used to it, people; this is who we are, now. In September, 2001 some Arabs commandeered some airplanes and flew them into some building, killing people in America. As there was no law on the books specifically stating that this particular action was illegal, our president declared that this was not a law enforcement issue. And, from there we descended into lawlessness, ourselves.
Everything got re-defined by our government – and it wasn’t JUST Bush & his cronies. Congress & the Judicial branch are equally complicit – maybe more so, because they are whom we expected to truly protect and defend our Constitution agains executive branch abuses. We have been betrayed by our entire Federal governmnet.
Who amongst them can we trust to stand up for what this country once purported to stand for? Not one of the top candidates for president has even addressed the issue of returning to the pre9/11 mindset that respected the foundations of this country – they all seem willing to continue appeasing terrorists by repealing our freedoms…

Buckie Boy, I’d add as a friendly amendment, Shrub is “The Deciderer”; the WH is authorizing and ordering the CIA to engage in activities which are war crimes. If he wasn’t looking at the tapes, he is a complete moron.

For that matter, even if he is looking at the tapes, he is a moron.

Okay would someone PLEASE tell me this?

Why aren’t the Democrats all over this?

This isn’t a new issue as such. This came up when the McCain bill outlawing torture was passed and the President issued a signing statement saying that he wasn’t going to abide by the law he just signed.

Is there ANY doubt that Congress and the American public already consider water boarding torture? Is there any doubt that it is illegal?

So why aren’t the Democrats demanding that the President either clarify the issue or that they will start impeachment proceedings to be followed by criminal charges?

Of course Bush watched the tapes, and so did Cheney, they had to see what their orders had achieved. Bush lies about absolutely everything, that is a given.

What is disturbing is that members of Congress, including Pelosi had viewed demonstrations of what waterboarding is and did nothing about it. Do you really think that Pelosi is going to bring charges up on the White House that she was a party to??? I don’ think so.

I am very disappointed with all of our government officials in DC right now, they all seem so corrupt that there is little anyone can really do about it. Write your congress representative and get what? A canned answer that they “round file” right away is what you get.

Watching these tapes is what the Lier-In-Chief was doing when he said he was reading. Librarian for two years, Laura, made sure he had the transcripts of the tapes too, so he could report he did know how to read. Probably had Saddam’s gun on the bed table, so he could stroke it lovingly as he watched.

Too bad Pelosi is complicit with the torture, otherwise we would be able to Impeach this criminal from the White House. =|

She’ll probably just focus on videotapes being “old technology” and that DVDs should be used nowadays. Or make some equally irrelevant point.

there is so much that needs to be digested and investigated from these past 2 weeks…

we need to be thanking the truth-tellers and whistle-blowers BIG TIME.

If waterboarding led to saving lifes then the tape would be kept to prove it

therefore I suggest nothing came of waterboarding and the CIA officer is trying to play the good bad cop routine
