Would that be ok?

How convenient for the Bush/Cheney administration and all their right-wing mouthpieces. They can claim that using torture saved lives, but without the torture interrogation tapes to confirm their claim, then they are just asking us to “trust” them. HA!!

This makes the case for allowing torture to become a routine part of every police investigation.

State-sponsored torture – isn’t that one of the crimes Bush accused Saddam Hussein of committing?

N O T I C E:
Chris Mathews just let Duncan Hunter spew his pro-torture stance without being challenged to it’s credibility or legality.

CHRIS MATTHEWS TACITLY ACCEPTED THE MEME THAT TORTURE IS A GOOD THING BECAUSE IT PRODUCES RESULTS… HE SAID NOTHING TO CHALLENGE HUNTER!
… Not even simply asking if torture is legal?

If Chris Matthews is an investigative reporter, I fail to see it.

.

Q U E S T I O N:
Is Duncan Hunter suggesting that torture is acceptable enough that it can also be used on Americans if other nations deem it necessary?

REALLY?

.

R E M E M B E R:
The easiest way to be known as a Nation that tortures, is by endorsing the use of torture…

Not that the Republican Party ever once gave a rat’s ass in hell about something so quaint as “the rule of law.”

If it prevented attacks, tell us what the plots were.

And don’t give me the “it’s secret for our protection” line. Once a terrorist plot is stopped, the best thing you can do is to publicize it. That allows the public to watch out for similar activity, as well as putting potential terrorists on notice that such a plan isn’t likely to work again.

Unless attacks prevented are explicitly stated, no one should get to claim there were any without challenge.

Tell that to American Soldiers who are tortured as a result of tactics that violate the Constitution(among other violations).

I hate these people.

PERINO: This president has said that we did interrogate terrorists, and we did so to protect the country from possible imminent terrorist attack. We did not torture.

It’s the neocon pretzel logic. “We did not torture anyone, but the torture provided us with enormously valuable information that saved American lives.”

Kind of like, “Obama is a Muslim whose Christian pastor is a racist.”

These comments just shows how far the GOP (corporate fascists, warmongers, psychopaths and religious bigots) have fallen from the philosophy and actions of Dwight Eisenhower.

Here’s a simple one for him, and one I’m certain he’ll understand given his recent campaign platform. Some people think smoking pot is ok, but it’s still illegal and a lot of good Americans are wasting away in jail for getting caught doing something illegal.

The difference here is that Cheney is gloating about his illegality and buffoons like Duncan are there to parrot the talking points.

They broke the law. The reason they broke the law is because they were caught with their pants down, were supremely incompetent and didn’t know what they were doing before some small, but rather well financed, group decided to hijack planes and, rather than sit on the tarmac, decided to crash them into buildings, in the US no less. And because of this, Cheney and his token POTUS decided that that g-d piece of paper was expendable. They deserve what I’m confident Duncan would think any other criminal deserves.
