This is the smartest/brightest honest person for the job of top cop of the nation?

And what do we teach our children. Survival by any means of lying killing etc will get you ahead?

Perhaps the Schumer/Feinstein dynamic duo can waterboard an answer out of Mukasey.

When asked about the nomination of torture advocate Steven Bradbury to the Office of Legal Counsel, Mukasey said, “Steve Bradbury is one of the finest lawyers I’ve ever met. … I want to continue working with him.”

You see Schumer and Feinstein? This is a sample of your fine work. Now you’ll have to leave the Senate. We’ll see to it in your next primaries.

and they have to rely on an incident from 40 years ago to try to deflect from the mass-murdering, torturing, losing Bush admalistration. How weak.

I’m sure you all probably already know, but the state of Vermont is about to vote to arrest either Bush or his dad Dick for war crimes and other offenses if either of them step foot in the state.

How cool would it be if other states and other countries did the same.

By the way BigO, it’s Sunday morning in Farmington, shouldn’t you be in church dressed in your funny pajamas?

Wow, Francine seems to be advocating our country becoming a fascist state with George Bush as the Dictator and Chief. Good one Francine.

As to the Democrats being interested in changing current policies, I believe that they will be very interested in changing current policies because they see what is happening to this country and know that we have little time to change the course that is driving our bus off a cliff.

On the other hand, they may not want to change the current policy of the Unitary Executive. I almost want them to retain the powers that Herr Bush has appointed himself. It would be fun watching the Republiscums implode as they screech about how the Democratic President is ignoring the rule of law. But, I more want us to going back to a country that respects our constitution and the rule of law. I think the Democrats know that we would not put up with their abuse of power any more than we are putting up with the Republiscums abuse of power.

OBigFootInMouth needs to pay more attention to our recent history. If he did, he would realize that the USA has become the biggest terrorist nation on this earth. We perpetuate terror (invading countries and torturing prisoners) and we manufacture new terrorists who want to harm us (invading countries and torturing prisoners). OBigFootInMouth is a fool.

OBigFootInMouth, like Francine, thinks that no one cares about the fact that we torture people. He’s also stupid enough to think that if George Bush says it, it must be true, no matter the 280+ lies he told ramping up to invade Iraq. I think that we should put OBigFootInMouth and Francine in a room with 100 parents of soldiers who are in Iraq and Afghanistan and let them tell those parents that they don’t care about the fact that we torture our prisoners. Neither of them would survive long.

Troll Francine shows up to tell us that torture is a non-issue. Too bad he isn’t fighting for the cause that he so dearly loves (Iraq). If he was, he would be subject to being kidnapped and tortured. And you know what, we wouldn’t be able to say a damn thing about it. You can’t condemn torture when you do it yourself. Poor Francine, I pity him.

Troll Gin thinks that she is being clever. But in actuality, all she is doing is showing what a tool she really is. She is a master at the strawman argument and the RNC talking points. Also, she’s rather dumb. Right there with GG and RR.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18, 2006
Investigators look for evidence in the anthrax case. (CBS)

Quote

“There are times that we may know a lot about a crime or an event that occurred, but we may not have the admissible evidence that we need to prove it in court.”

Secretary Chertoff

(CBS) Three years ago, FBI agents slogged through the woods to a fishing pond in suburban Maryland, where they hoped to find the hidden lab equipment used in the 2001 anthrax attacks. But, as CBS News correspondent Jim Stewart reports, they pumped the pond dry and even sifted through the mud at the bottom … and found nothing

Five years, 53,000 leads, and 6,000 subpoenas after those attacks, they still have no arrests.

Things are so cold, law enforcement officials tell CBS News, that barring the discovery of new evidence, the anthrax investigation could be declared a “Cold Case” and put in the inactive files.

So who did it? Former Attorney General John Ashcroft once singled out Dr. Steven Hatfill, a bioweapons specialist, as a “person of interest.” But there have been no charges.

Former FBI counter-terrorism executive and now CBS News consultant Mike Rolince says no case has frustrated the FBI more.

“We now know that someone, or ones, can conduct an attack like this and for least the first five years, get away with it,” Rolince says.

The FBI says it remains committed to solving the crime. In a written statement, Joseph Persichini, Jr., acting assistant director of the FBI’s Washington field office said: “Today, the FBI’s commitment to solving this case is undiminished … While no arrests have been made, the dedicated investigators who have worked tirelessly on this case, day-in and day-out, continue to go the extra mile in pursuit of every lead.”

The bureau never had more than scant physical evidence, like the envelopes the anthrax was mailed in, and the terse letters inside – “Death to America” read one – and the spores themselves. But they were never able to trace the anthrax back to the attacker.

“It’s true that a vast majority of the investigation early on was figuring out the science,” Rolince says.

Nor did the administration ever entirely figure out what to do in case of another such attack. Despite a $5.6 billion effort to stockpile vaccines, just a small amount is available. Only the Pentagon has enough on hand for the troops.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff hints no one may ever be indicted.

“There are times that we may know a lot about a crime or an event that occurred, but we may not have the admissible evidence that we need to prove it in court,” Chertoff says.

But the thinking among investigators is more stark: If we can’t agree among ourselves who did it, they reason, how could we ever convince a jury?

HAVING DUTIFULLY PURSUED HATFILL TO DRAW ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE REAL CULPRIT, THE GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED MEDIA HAS DUTIFULLY BURIED THE CASE.

Another in the very long list of Bush’s antiAmerican lies. The Hague awaits the War Criminal Bush, and his supporters.
