Timmeh you DEFINE ignorance. You are listed as a synonym for moron. Waterboarding IS torture which is already against the law according to the Convention against torture statute you moronic twit. Bush is just PRAYING that is silly memos will redefine torture but those memos do NOT have the force of law. Hopefully Bush and Cheney will soon be wearing orange jumpsuits and then be frogmarched to the Hague to stand trial for warcrimes. If the Nuremeberg laws were applied they would be hanged. Fortunatly for YOU abject stupidity even of YOUR galactic level is not illegal or you would already be doing life.

Senator Leahy is one of the few genuine voices of integrity in Washington, and let’s hope he prevails in the teeth of Obama’s indifference. I think that Obama, unlike George W Bush, is a fundamentally decent person, but he’s too much a pragmatist and too conflict-avoidant on the imperative to restore the rule of law, validate the suffering of the victims, regain the respect of our friends, vitiate the grievances of our potential enemies, and deter future crimes.

Hi Tim. Still using the jackass approach. Did anyone here on this one hurt your little feelings to justify your poor behavior? That is the operative excuse right?

Ah, once again you folks are showing your ignorance, particulary those of you who think enhanced interrogation techniques are “against the law.”

President Bush gave the Congress EVERY OPPORTUNITY to pass a law outlawing waterboarding, etc., but THEY WOULDN’T.

So, you folks who claim that there’s something to be “investigated” are all wet! (pun intended)

If the USA is serious about restoring its internatinaol image, they have to hold accountable its own War Criminals, Bush/Chenney & Co. otherwise it will never be taken seriously again. It will never be trusted again. HAGUE 2009!

NOW they start? Maybe we should have instant replay in NCAA football, let’s look into it…

Hopefully everyone will buck up now, if they were afraid of being Wellstone’d and now can do their jobs with less threat of dying.

As much as I would like to believe that there will be people locked up in jail, I just don’t see it happening.

Without the possibility of being held responsible for the actions that they took, then all of this is simply a sham.

John Yoo and his memos would be a VERY good place to start.

If Leahy prosecutes war criminals like Bush and Cheney he may end-up with another Antrax letter.

Why do you think he has been silent on the Bush war crimes?

911 like the Anthax attacks was an Inside Job.

We are a fascist police state that pretends to be a Democracy.

It is all an illusion.

No wonder Americans want change sooooo bad.

Evil sucks.

We’ve decided that past law doesn’t necessarily apply in this case because we are in the process of making torture retroactively legal while at the same time making it illegal in the future.
We think the American people appreciate this approach and deserve nothing less.

I want to believe you, Pat, but in the end you will cave on prosecuting those who committed any crimes in this administration. Hope you prove me wrong.

I have to agree with Tokin Librul. I think this is a mutual admiration club and they will make gestures and feel good motions but, no one is going down for it.

Speaking of torture, the turkey slaughtering bimbo is down in GA campaigning for Chambliss.
That’s all the more reason that I hope he loses.

Congress has been reviewing this for some time now…
… NOTICE: Pat called it torture!

Q U E S T I O N:
Where’s the obvious question…
… Now that Congress is calling it TORTURE and no longer emphasising the ubiquitous “Enhanced Interrogation”, what does Congress intend to do to re-establish that the Rule of Law calls for consequential accountability?

So-ooo- is Pat up for re-election?

Don’t even start with this blather.
Leahy is a Vermonter.
They are reknowned for speaking truth to power.

We can only hope that these WAR CRIMINALS get what they deserve….

….but I wouldn’t hold my breath about it.

KARMA is our only “real” hope, I fear.
