Last week, two British High Court judges ruled against releasing documents describing the treatment of Binyam Mohamed, a British resident who is currently being held at Guantanamo Bay. The judges said the Bush administration “had threatened to withhold intelligence cooperation with Britain if the information were made public.”
But The Daily Telegraph reported over the weekend that the documents actually “contained details of how British intelligence officers supplied information to [Mohamed's] captors and contributed questions while he was brutally tortured.” In fact, it was British officials, not the Americans, who pressured Foreign Secretary David Miliband “to do nothing that would leave serving MI6 officers open to prosecution.” According to the Telegraph’s sources, the documents describe particularly gruesome interrogation tactics:
The 25 lines edited out of the court papers contained details of how Mr Mohamed’s genitals were sliced with a scalpel and other torture methods so extreme that waterboarding, the controversial technique of simulated drowning, “is very far down the list of things they did,” the official said.
Another source familiar with the case said: “British intelligence officers knew about the torture and didn’t do anything about it.”
“It is very clear who stands to be embarrassed by this and who is being protected by this secrecy. It is not the Americans, it is Labour ministers,” former shadow home secretary David Davis said. But one unnamed U.S. House Judiciary Committee member told the Telegraph that if President Obama “doesn’t act we could hold a hearing or write to subpoena the documents. We need to know what’s in those documents.”
Mohamed remains at Guantanamo Bay and “is currently on hunger strike.” “All terror charges against him were dropped last year,” the Telegraph reported.
and what a great idea it was to NOT prosecute the interrogators because they were “just following orders.”

February 9th, 2009 at 11:18 amRegardless of what any detainee is accused of, this is torture. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts. Torture is a war crime. Crimes against humanity.

February 9th, 2009 at 11:19 amWhy isn’t this all over the “News”? They are pathetic. Over at CNN on their “Political Ticker” the first story is “Obama bumped his head”. What’s next Michelle broke a nail?
February 9th, 2009 at 11:19 amI knew that winning an argument was more important to Republicans than actually protecting the country was, but I didn’t think they’d go this far.
I mean, they kept claiming that waterboarding was “no big deal” — I just didn’t realize they were saying because they knew they had done so much worse.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:20 amWhile I’d like to make a joke about “fraternity pranks” I can’t bring myeself to do it today.
President Obama needs to step up now or he is forever tainted.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:24 amIn your guts, you knew it Ralph. That’s what is so horrifying about this. It was only a matter of time before the truth came out…..
February 9th, 2009 at 11:25 amYep, the real reason for suppression of detainee records is to cover up any information on their torture. The plan is to keep them in jail out of sight until they expire; then, of course, dead men tell no tales.

February 9th, 2009 at 11:28 amMohamed remains at Guantanamo Bay and “is currently on hunger strike.” “All terror charges against him were dropped last year,” the Telegraph reported.
If all charges against him have been dropped, why is he still there? Is Great Britain refusing to allow him to come home?
This man should be granted asylum in the USA and recompensed for his brutal treatment.
I’m all for Obama closing Gitmo, but I also think he needs to do something today to clean up conditions there. He needs to fire everyone in charge and put new people in place. Then he needs to start treating these people in a humane manner. It’s probably too late to keep them from becoming terrorists when they leave (to avenge their brutal treatment), but improving their treatment until they can be released will go a long way towards mitigating their hatred of our country.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:31 amI’m not saying repubs are perverts but there is a danger of going down that road.
If you have ever read ShoGun then you understand that torture is not about getting information, it is a sexual perversion.

They are well on the way to that now. One third of the detainees at Gitmo are on a hunger strike and many of them are approaching critical condition.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:37 amThere’s a lot worse information that’s going to come out over time.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:37 amTorturing is the kind of behavior you might expect from undisiplined 8 or 9 year old boys. Not adults who claim to be religious, that’s the kicker…..
Bush’s Lord of the Fly’s tenure will have similar consequenses.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:37 amThis is serious. Cleaning up conditions is not enough.
It appears Gitmo was a literal chamber of horrors. Something out of the Inquisitions. As Guido said Waterboardings always been a Red Herring designed to get us to focus on that so we don’t see the real horror lying beneath the surface.
Rumsfeld will now go down in history with such greats as Josef Mengele, and Tomas Torquemada. This is what we feared they were up to and now our worst fears are being confirmed.
As Jonathan Turley so aptly stated, if we don’t do something about this ourselves, the international community just might.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:37 amDisgusting.
There MUST be an investigation AND prosecutions. Not just some self-serving wrist slap exercise.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:41 amSure, but at this point the names are interchangeable.

February 9th, 2009 at 11:42 amHmmm,
Graham, Lieberman, Cantor, Ensign, Sessions, Boner, DeMint, McHenry, and other Repukes claim waterboarding isn’t torture.
If they HAD balls, I wonder how they’d feel about a scalpel slicing down the old scrotum?
C’mon now, boys…if it’s not torture you’ll allow it done to yourselves, right?
February 9th, 2009 at 11:42 amWayne, if we don’t do something about this ourselves then we are no better than the German people who knew what was going on and did nothing…….we will reap only bad things from this.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:43 amYou know, all these “isolated instances of soldiers acting without orders” are mounting up considerably. How MANY instances are required before repugs will admit that these were MANDATED techniques. They were not interrogation methods: they were SOP prisoner treatment. Interrogation was the excuse.
The personell AT Gitmo are certainly dangerous and incompetent, AS WELL AS just as accountable as war criminals as the Bush administration.
I agree with BilboHB: the current personell at Gitmo need to be replaced IMMEDIATELY with trained guards who understand American laws (i.e. real prison guards, not a bunch of psycho sadists just getting their kicks).
The taint of the torture will render EVERY POSSIBLE fair trial to be a mistrial — none can be tried fairly, as even if you could find a prisoner there who was not tortured or treated inhumanely, the excess and regularity of such treatments at the facility taint every case there. They will all have to be released (including the guilty) because of the illegal methods authorized by the Bush Administration and performed by the personell at Gitmo. Nice job, scumbags.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:43 amFred, you are absolutely right about the connection to sexual perversion.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:44 amWow, excellent point zim. And lets hear more from them about what a nice resort atmosphere it is too…..
February 9th, 2009 at 11:45 amIt also seem reasonable to suspect that some of the torturers are bedwetters.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:45 amI find it quite interesting to see how this is all playing out. Even though Obama wants to “move forward”, it appears that our foreign allies are going to hold him to a higher standard. They are going to take the lead and everything will finally come out. How sad for us.
February 9th, 2009 at 11:46 amAnd Bush/Cheney aren’t being arrested and charged with WAR CRIMES because…

I do think that it is fair to presume that the Bush Administration did NOT provide the incoming Obama administration with a list of their crimes. So, it is possible that the torture was not fully disclosed to Obama (the Bush Admin holds to the argument that they did not order torture, and that it was renegade soldiers). And it seems that what is happening is that other nations will want to defend themselves (”well, WE don’t torture…. America does…”), and will do so at OUR expense: another legacy of Bush.

February 9th, 2009 at 12:05 pmFrom the article:
Mr Mohamed, 30, an Ethiopian, was granted refugee status in Britain in 1994. He was picked up in Pakistan in 2002 on suspicion of involvement in terrorism, rendered to Morocco and Afghanistan, tortured and then sent to Guantanamo Bay in 2004. All terror charges against him were dropped last year.
This revelation puts things in a whole new light. Physical mutilation was never something anyone – even the most dedicated Bushbot – defended as “not torture”. Slicing your jewels pretty much defines torture. If this was done at Gitmo by American personel it would totally change my attitude on pursuing charges against the entire chain of command all the way up to Bush. And that is a major change for me.
There are only two possible caveats. First, this info comes from “sources” left unamed by the newspaper. The fact of the allegation is not established. Second, as in the snippet above, he was rendered to Afghan and Morrocan authorities, it is possible the mutilation occured there. That would still be hideous, but rendition was used hundreds of times in the 90s, it would make the case a lot murkier.
All that said, I am with Annie. I feel sick.

Rendition has been used hundreds of time since the 90’s to get bad guys out of the country that was allowing them to run free. Rendition for the purpose of torture only started under the Bush Crime Family.

February 9th, 2009 at 12:30 pmAccording to the Bush apologists we don’t torture because there was no death and no organ failure so what’s the big deal?
Sure we sliced his nuts off, but the point is that we sewed them back on and except for the scars, physical and mental he’s probably going to live.
Hell, we thought the guy had something to say so we put him in the freezer naked and doused him with water until his heart stopped. But we warmed him back up, shocked the heart and it’s running just fine. In fact we did this every day for a week. It got to be sooooo funny. When we put Binyam in the room and lowered the temperature, the look on his face was terrified!
Turns out the brown bastard didn’t have anything relevant to add, but the point is he might have. He might have had information that could have saved New York City and every person in it.

Shorter version: when, exactly, did the American Congress make a formal declaration of war (the only body in the Republic capable, by law, of declaring war)?
The “rules” of our country did NOT change on 9/11, no matter how much you would like them to have. So, if America is at war (as per your justification/rationalization), where is our declaration of war? If not, then you need some other line of crap to justify torture, since America is NOT at “war”.

February 9th, 2009 at 12:37 pmAfter taking a “fact finding trip” to Guantanamo Bay with several of his Republican colleagues including Sens. John Boehner (R-OH), David Vitter (R-LA), Richard Burr (R-NC), Pat Roberts (R-KS), and Sam Brownback (R-KS), Sen Jim Inhofe’s (R-OK) group was attributed to have made statements like:
– “I don’t know that there’s a terrorist treated better anywhere in the world than what has happened at Guantanamo.” – Sen John Boehner;
– “Well, I agree that its gotten an image. I don’t know that that’s all completely deserved,” Sen. Sam Brownback;
– “…the conditions are “well thought out and in keeping with our Nation’s highest ideals.” Sen Richard Burr.
It has been reported in the UK Guardian Newspaper that Lt. Col. Yvonne Bradley is demanding the release of her client, who is “dying” because of his treatment. But first, Bradley, a US military attorney for 20 years, will reveal that Mohamed, 31, is dying in his Guantánamo cell and that conditions inside the Cuban prison camp have deteriorated badly since Barack Obama took office.” Fifty of its 260 detainees are on hunger strike and, say witnesses, are being strapped to chairs and force-fed, with those who resist being beaten. At least 20 are described as being so unhealthy they are on a “critical list”, according to Bradley.

The UK press covers the issue, the US media buries it.
President Obama has yet to say or do anything public about it.
Bush and Blair are free, specially protected citizens with plenty of cash and currently no fear of prosecution.
One of many still lives in a cell, without charges or verifiable justification, having been physically and mentally tortured for years.
Anyone of us can go to jail for an unpaid parking ticket—even if it was due to some mitigating emergency.
But the bigger the crime, the less you do time and for the biggest of crimes, you do no time at all.

TP UPDATE: BREAKING: Genital Slicing Linked to Republican “sexual enhancement” operations.
BREAKING: AP is reporting that newly released medical documents reveal that the technique of “genital slicing” on helpless prisoners was in fact not primarily used as a torture method but instead as a means of providing key republicans with functional male genitalia of their own.
AP has learned that top ranking republicans are either missing primary male sexual appendages or suffer from severely undersized genitalia insufficient for coitus or other functions including failing to provide the necessary testosterone levels required to avoid panicking and or “pant crapping” in the face of terrorism.
Insiders report that it was determined that since so many of the Arab men seemed to sport unusually large male appendages it was felt these might help the republican party improve their masculine image by grafting onto key party members, genitalia actually visible without requiring a microscope. “It was hoped that the new appendages would provide testosterone levels sufficient to deal with the threats we face today” said Doctor Richard Schlong, chief plastic surgeon overseeing the operations. “The abnormally tiny testicles found on most of the party leadership can lead to diminished capacity for handling danger, and often results in knee jerk reactions and an inability to control fear mongering said Doctor Schlong. “Hitler as you know, only had one dangler, and look how that turned out“.
Minority party leaders hailed the procedures as a “triumph” over both terrorists and prescriptive Viagra. “Now my name actually means something….and you know those young Arab boys, well, they’ve sure got some big ones”. declared Senate Minority leader John Boehner. When asked how functional his new appendages were Senator Boehner replied “well you know what they say, it’s not the size of the tool but the size of the stiches that counts.”“.
The Senate and House minority leadership are holding a special session or “cockiss” this afternoon to discuss the distribution and integration of the new House and Senate “members” and the role they’ll play in the parties future.

This revelation puts things in a whole new light. Physical mutilation was never something anyone – even the most dedicated Bushbot – defended as “not torture”. Slicing your jewels pretty much defines torture. If this was done at Gitmo by American personel it would totally change my attitude on pursuing charges against the entire chain of command all the way up to Bush. And that is a major change for me.
According to the John Yoo torture memo delivered to the White House from the Office of Legal Counsel in the DoJ, genital slicing would not count as torture.
I don’t see anything in that definition that would preventing cutting or burning. All it takes is somebody in the room stating that they’re of the opinion that what’s going on wouldn’t hurt as much as a ruptured kidney, and they’re in the clear.
Consider that this is just the start of what we’re going to find out about, in terms of horrific practices. We’re also going to eventually find out about deaths, and the circumstances leading up to them.
Another reason us libs have been whining about the torture is that if it’s being done “within limits” then it’s also being done to disgusting extremes. By definition, it’s not the sort of thing that you can keep under control. The entire point is to shock the detainee by being willing to go farther than they thought you would. Which means doing the maximum, not the minimum or the appropriate amount.
The only way to win is not to play.

February 9th, 2009 at 2:00 pmRead the book “Eight O’Clock Ferry to the Windward side – Seeking justice in Guantanamo Bay- By Clive Stafford Smith.
February 9th, 2009 at 2:13 pmIt’s an awesome book and just gives you the truth – or more of the truth- about this whole BS.
Gitmo needs to be closed ASAP and the people there need to be treated with some respect and human treatment. It’s so sad and sick what the military is doing with them.
Read the book!!! It will open your eyes!!! I got sick!! But awesome book!!!!
I see.
There was outrage (rightfully so) when those poor American soldiers in Iraq were captured and brutally slain a few years back.
But castrating a prisoner who has NOT been found guilty of terrorism?
*crickets chirping*
…And Jesus wept!
February 9th, 2009 at 2:29 pmCom on guys….isn’t this one of the same Wogs that cut Ken Pearls head off?
I really don’t remember all the outrage?
February 9th, 2009 at 3:11 pmtommyrot Says:
I assume you mean Daniel Pearl… and no. It is not. Notice that all charges have been dropped?
And even if it were, we do things differently. The outrage comes from the betrayal of those values that make America great…
And Wog? Great- let’s add racism to our evils… go and rot, tommy.
February 9th, 2009 at 3:15 pmyeah you’re right belac… I mean a slice on the sack is so much worse than having your head cut off….please
February 9th, 2009 at 3:17 pmWell, he’s not being charged with terrorism (or anything, really)… I assume you haven’t been charged with terrorism either… are you offering up your sack in the name of ’security?’
Great! Let’s get slicing… you’re disgusting.
February 9th, 2009 at 3:22 pmBarbaric. And to think how many of you left gatekeepers disbelieve that 9/11 was an inside job. Funny how the only skyscraper collapses due to fire have happened on 9/11.

February 9th, 2009 at 3:31 pmWell I guess that those Repug senators that recently visited Gitmo might be inclined to take their freebie commemorative smiley face “I visited Gitmo” mugs off their desktops now. Well at least until this latest outrage blows over.
February 9th, 2009 at 3:32 pmSo THAT’s how they justify waterboarding? Because other acts they committed were even worse??

February 9th, 2009 at 4:22 pmLeft gatekeepers=Bush apologists.
Of course GW didn’t plan 9/11. The man was just a puppet, just like O-BAAAA-ma. Where’s your CHANGE now? All I see are more renditions, more troops in the battlefield, more corporate welfare & deficit spending.

February 9th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
If they’re innocent, then why are they there? Has anyone determined, in a court or tribunal of some kind, that everyone at GTMO is actually guilty of something? I hope you’re not going to bring up that debunked lie about 61 of them getting out and returning to the battelfield, because that statistic simply isn’t supported by the facts (which means it’s a lie.)
February 9th, 2009 at 4:32 pmWould you like to wager on the increase of atrocities against US troops after the innocents are released?
February 9th, 2009 at 4:32 pmtommyrot believes innocent people should be kept in jail because they might do something bad when they are finally released from their illegal detentions.
February 9th, 2009 at 4:35 pmSure why not. So you have waged 3x increase in incidences, is that correct? So any other result will result in you losing any such wager I would assume. Now being a reasonable fellow I would suggest we stay to whole integer percentage increase or decreases. Now what shall the wager be?
Why do I get the distinct feeling you are going to go back on that 3x thing…
February 9th, 2009 at 4:37 pmWould you like to wager on the increase of atrocities against US troops after the innocents are released?
Are you arguing that innocents should be held because you ‘wager’ that they may attack US troops?
You are creepy, scary and ignorant all at once…
February 9th, 2009 at 4:38 pmOops sorry tommyrot. Didn’t see that you already had. I appreciate the honesty

February 9th, 2009 at 5:01 pmWayne….why do you think they are all innocent?
tommy, don’t you think that’s something we should find out?
Shouldn’t there be some way to determine guilt or innocence?
What’s that called?
Oh yeah, a trial… now if only we hadn’t tortured these guys we could have one of those.
February 9th, 2009 at 5:04 pmI am all for a trial my friend. Hang the guilty and let the innocent go.
February 9th, 2009 at 5:05 pmnanlichi Says:
According to the Bush apologists we don’t torture because there was no death and no organ failure so what’s the big deal?
No deaths that we know about. But, considering the number of people who have simply disappeared while in US custody, I suspect that quite a few people died from their torture.
February 9th, 2009 at 5:10 pmI am all for a trial my friend. Hang the guilty and let the innocent go.
Okay, trials are a good step… but what if we can’t convict because the ‘evidence’ is all circumstantial or obtained through torture… see ‘all charges dropped’ link at top of the page.
February 9th, 2009 at 5:13 pmShouldn’t we go after those who perverted justice through the illegal detention and torture, as well?
tommyrot Says:
Would you like to wager on the increase of atrocities against US troops after the innocents are released?
I think it is guaranteed that we are going to see an increase in atrocities against our troops due to the example we have set for the rest of the world. How in the hell can we protest if some bad guys start cutting up the balls of our soldiers? How can we protest if our soldiers simply disappear. How can we protest if our soldiers are waterboarded? We have lost our moral authority in the eyes of the world and it will take a long time to get it back.
If there is a god, tommyrot, maybe someday you will be picked up off the street in front of your house and taken somewhere to be disappeared and tortured. It would be fitting justice.
February 9th, 2009 at 5:14 pmtommyrot,
I never said they were ALL innocent, you did:
“We are going to let all of the innocents at Gitmo out and this will multiply 3 fold.”
My question was, how do you know if they are innocent or guilty? The vast majority of the people being held have never been brought before any kind of judge to determine if their detention is legal, and if they are, in fact, guilty of something.
No, you and the other GTMO-lovers have asserted all along that these people are all guilty, or else they wouldn’t have been there in the first place. My contention is that no fair-minded person has determined which ones are guilty and which ones were actually innocent.
You should learn how to read more carefully and not put words in my mouth that I didn’t say.
February 9th, 2009 at 5:15 pmLike wise Wayne….I have never asserted that they are all guilty….I was being sar cas tic in labeling them all innocent like the liberals here today.
February 9th, 2009 at 5:26 pmya’ll have a pleasant evening.
February 9th, 2009 at 5:27 pm“like the liberals here today”
What the hell is that supposed to mean?

BTW, your sarcasm did not make whatever point it was you were trying to make. Just made whatever you were trying to say unbelievable, ignorant, and stupid-sounding.

Go buy some more Tinfoil Tool.
I would refute you, but I refuse to argue with an unarmed person.
We will never know which are innocent and which are guilty because of the tainted nature of evidence secured and obscured by TORTURE. Torture serves no purpose.
February 9th, 2009 at 5:46 pmWe do not lock people away and torture confessions out of them just on the chance they might do something bad, or at least we didn’t used to.
February 9th, 2009 at 5:54 pmBack before America traded its FREEDOM for a fleeting sense of security. We have done to ourselves what Bin Laden could only dream of doing to us.
February 9th, 2009 at 5:56 pmThat’s a bet I won’t touch Bilbo. The number of deaths caused by our torture will never be known.
As far as increased atrocities caused by inmates at Gitmo, where the fck do these troll come from? First, it’s Gitmo and torture that are the best ever recruiting tools for AQ ever. Fact.
And second, who is talking about releasing prisoners anyway? That straw man has been debunked so many times. How about a fair trial and releasing the innocent?
Hell, I am even supportive of a fair trial for Bush and Cheney and the rest. If they’re innocent, let them go back into society. Surely there’s a town that would take them, like say…Dallas.
February 9th, 2009 at 6:12 pmIf the Criminal Bush and the RepubliCons are not brought to justice, America will remain a criminal nation.
February 9th, 2009 at 8:18 pmObama’s on right now. Maybe this will be brought up. (hope)
February 9th, 2009 at 8:21 pmThe problem is that this stuff will never go away until someone owns up to it, or someone is prosecuted. Otherwise we will remain infected with dishonesty for at least another generation. Who wants that?
February 9th, 2009 at 9:58 pm.
tommyrot,
Please name the redeeming quality to torture?
If it’s what the “bad guys” do, then what does that make the USA when it’s what we do?
Of course, silly me, it’s not torture when we do it, NO?
You do realize, that in turn even what these bad guys did to Pearl, your support of our team engaging in torture validates what the “enemy” did as being a good thing. Therefore, any outrage you may have about mistreatment and beheading of Americans is NOT genuine, in the least. If anything, it’s morally dishonest. Which is NOT the character trait worth parading around.
So go back to your hole, troll!

February 10th, 2009 at 1:20 am.
Oh, and Tommyrot,
Since when is detaining and holding someone, engaging in acts deemed to be barbaric torture, applicable to “INNOCENT” people? This happens to be America, where we detain AND charge someone with crimes. Then we give them a trial so to as to provide them the best available opportunity to make a defense. And, since this is America, when their case falls apart or are convicted, then given a punishment to suit the crime. It’s in the Constitution. And before you say the Fifth Amendment covers only Americans, I implore you to find where the Bill of Rights is extended for Americans only. Also, read Article II, Section 2 states(in part):
And then read Article IV(in part):
Now, why do you hate America and Her Laws and Constitution so that you would feel compelled to argue against them?
But then again, if you weren’t some snot nosed troll, you’d know more than blind loyalty to a man and become the Patriot you think you are… NOT!

Do your research buddy. There’s no refuting that WTC 7 WASN’T hit by any plane, yet it still came down in exactly the manner of a controlled demolition.
I don’t understand truthers logic…
Yes it’s strange to want to arrive at the truth of an historic event, isn’t it?
Incompetence theory=BS. That’s the biggest, most absurd, conspiracy theory of them all—that Bush & Co. were “too incompetent” not to torture people, or loot the Treasury, have NORAD stand down on 9/11, etc.

I’ve read your ‘research’ into 9/11 and found it lacking… I’ve read the research of architects and scientists who find that the attacks and collapse are totally consistent with planes flying into the towers and the Pentagon… WTC7 structural integrity was compromised by falling debris and fire… someone has the math for you to read if you don’t believe me… The fact is that this is a forum for discussing the torture of a prisoner at Gitmo… you have plenty of places on the ‘net to discuss the ‘truth’ of 9/11… I’ve been to them… groupthink sheep… heh.
February 10th, 2009 at 1:26 pmI blame the American people for voting for GWB in the first place. Too many people are fuhrer worshipping authoritarians. It’s as if the Republican fuhrer worshippers want a STRONG military style government with a STRONG leader as opposed to our weak democracy and Constitution. So many laws broken in the name of national security. I can’t believe Gitmo actually happened. PLEASE, can we return to the rule of law. Due process and habeas corpus at least!

Interesting reading.
February 11th, 2009 at 11:46 amI must have stumbled into a den of liberal snakes.
February 13th, 2009 at 11:24 pmWhy all this talk of cutting nuts? You folks don’t believe that crap do ya?
The CIA has lots of better ways to get information. They are the Pros, let them do their job. One of the ways they (CIA) can get there info is with waterboarding. Its not torture its EFFECTIVE. We have done more waterboarding of our on military than we have on terrorist. Why? because its EFFECTIVE and it does not leave a scar. AH nuts!!!
You liberal wennies make me want to puke. John McCain was not for waterboarding because I think he was suffering from Stockhome syndrome, but I digressssss. I have two granddaughters and McCain is too liberal for me, so you can imagine how safe I think liberals are going to keep us.
By the way I agree with you liberals that the military should not be in charge of Gitmo. Military troops should be used for what they were intended not jailers. They should be training to KILL. The great Obama signs a executive order to close Gitmo. Like a typical liberal he has not thought through the consequences of that action. What are we gonna do put the terrorist into our free democratic judical system on American soil. Typical liberal answer to “can we all get along” THEY ARE TERRRRRRRRRORIST. And O by the way they have not rights under the Geneva Convention. THEY ARE TERRORIST. They do not play by the rules that a soldier must abide by. You be-little ourmilitary when you compare them in the same breath.
OOOO by the way our saviour Obama is going to make Leon Panetta head of the CIA. LEON has no has no Intelligence background. I watch with great interest Mr Panetta at senate intelligence hearing. He answer questions concerning Obama’s directive on torture and extraordinary rendition. What a DANCE, We call it the Panetta dance where he said we will not use torture ie waterbording except in extreme situations.
HELLO!!!!!!!! Thats what happens when a human being wants to kill Americans LOTS OF AMERICANS AT ONE TIME. I don’t see Mr Panetta lasting in the job very long. The realities that he will be exposed to will drive his liberal mind mad. Or, he will go off he deep end and believe he is above the law like Sandy Berger. All you liberals remember good ole Sandy, National Security Advisor to Bill Clinton (I did not have sex with that woman, Monica L) and we wonder why Muslim extremist call the US the great satan, but I digresss. Good ole Sandy Berger took top secret documents for what ever reason hidden in his shirt, pants and socks. What a guy, makes ya proud to be an American don’t it? If I would have done anything close to that when I was in the military I would still be in JAIL.
I’m glad I am old, I will not have to live with this crap long. BUT my granddaughters will and I want America’s intelligence professionals to do all they can to keep them from harms way.
Now if you will excuse me, I worked hard to get through the comments that you Liberal a holes put on this indignant website, I am over the urge to puke but you of little responsibility make me want to take a very long and EFFECTIVE shower.
Well, after reading your bullshit, uninformed tripe, the rest of us have to puke as well. Just like a reich winger, figuring to dump their shit on the younger generation. What is it about you cement-headed morons that you hold such stupid views even after they have been debunked by the professionals?
February 14th, 2009 at 8:35 pmWar is an ugly thing, and Americans seem to have forgotten that.
February 19th, 2009 at 6:53 amSo what parts of whom shall we cut up so as to win that war on poverty??
I am so disgusted and not proud to be an American. Britians are even worse- they approved the torture of their own. Not that we, Americans, do not torture our own either. Morrocco is a peice of crap country who goes beyond torture.
