Feith Responds To Spanish Charges: ‘I Never Advocated’ For Torture, I Was Just ‘Giving Advice’
Feith Responds To Spanish Charges: ‘I Never Advocated’ For Torture, I Was Just ‘Giving Advice’
Last week, a Spanish court said it would consider opening a criminal case against six Bush administration officials “over allegations they gave legal cover for torture at Guantanamo.” Yesterday, former Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Doug Feith, one of the officials implicated in the complaint, went on Fox News to defend himself in front of torture advocate Bill O’Reilly.
Feith argued that the charges that he helped approve torture are completely bogus. “I’m being criticized for a position that I never advocated. And so the facts are just wrong,” he said. Feith said he was simply giving “advice” to President Bush and had no role in “directing” torture policy:
FEITH But there’s also a broader point of principle here, which is what the Spanish authorities are considering doing is indicting people, former U.S. government officials for giving advice to the president. And the idea that a foreign official can disagree with advice given to the president, they’re not talking about action. And they’re not even talking about directing people to take action. They’re talking about people who were advising the president on policy and legal questions.
“This is an effort to intimidate U.S. government officials,” Feith alleged. Watch it:
But last year, Feith himself bragged in an interview with British law professor Phillippe Sands that he played a pivotal role in ensuring that Geneva protections against “outrages upon personal dignity” did not apply to detainees:
I asked Feith, just to be clear: Didn’t the administration’s approach mean that Geneva’s constraints on interrogation couldn’t be invoked by anyone at Guantánamo? “Oh yes, sure,” he shot back. Was that the intended result?, I asked. “Absolutely,” he replied. I asked again: Under the Geneva Conventions, no one at Guantánamo was entitled to any protection? “That’s the point,” Feith reiterated. … “This year I was really a player,” Feith said, thinking back on 2002 and relishing the memory.
Indeed, Feith’s arguments became official U.S. policy with the signing of a presidential memorandum on February 7, 2002.
Feith’s knee-jerk denial that he pushed for torture is nothing new. “We took an extremely strongly pro-Geneva Convention position in the Pentagon,” he said last April. Speaking with O’Reilly, Feith also made sure to go after Sands. “What’s going on in Spain is implementing, essentially, an, idea that a British lawyer has been proposing, a guy named Phillippe Sands, who wrote an extremely dishonest book on the subject,” he said.

how can it be illegal to support a private bounty in another country? when will the international bounty on this bunch of crooks be issued? how do i support it? if they open a paypal account, i will happily give them $50 a week and build the pot until somebody snatches them off the street and ships them to spain for the reward money.

But it seems they are sweating bullets over the possibility.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:09 pmViva Espana!!! Lets hope they find the means to put every one of those crooked bastards from the Bush abomination in prison. I would prefer they be placed in an 8 x 5 cage just like they advocated for Guantanamo Bay. And to top it off, have each Bush official guarded by a huge German shepherd whose slobbering mouth sits 1/2 inch from their scrotums. Maybe with an occasional bite just for the hell of it.

March 31st, 2009 at 1:14 pmMaybe some lobbyist could arrange a junket to Spain for Mr. Feith, you know for golf and tappas.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:15 pmHe should have an opportunity to defend himself before the court. The judge or jury can decide whether he was complicit in these crimes against humanity or merely a bystander.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:15 pmTommy Franks was right.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:16 pmEven scum like Feith and other Bush officials deserve to have their day in court despite the fact that they have denied others that right.

March 31st, 2009 at 1:18 pmWell, guess what Doug, you are still a player when it comes to being accountable for your actions. I know, I know, bush/cheney told you there would be no accountability for anything anyone did while working for them…they lied.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:18 pmtrooper #11,
I said much the same thing, but I can’t afford as much as you. Let’s say everyone that wants the Bush cabal on trial donate whatever they can to a specified account (overseas if necessary). Say the average is $10.00, not bad if you figure about 3,000,0000 people would donate. That should be enough to fund a little renditiion.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:18 pmWho is up for chipping in to a fund to provide Mr. Feith with an all expense paid trip to Madrid?

March 31st, 2009 at 1:24 pmThese cases have previously been thrown out of European courts because it must be shown that the country, in which the war criminals are citizens, will not prosecute them. Now, every day that passes without prosecution of the war criminals in the Bush administration strengthens the argument that the US has no intention of doing so.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:25 pm.
Let the parsing of the words begin…
Advocate: –verb (used with object)
1. to speak or write in favor of; support or urge by argument; recommend publicly: He advocated higher salaries for teachers.
–noun
2. a person who speaks or writes in support or defense of a person, cause, etc. (usually fol. by of): an advocate of peace.
3. a person who pleads for or in behalf of another; intercessor.
4. a person who pleads the cause of another in a court of law.
———————-
Advice: –noun
1. an opinion or recommendation offered as a guide to action, conduct, etc.: I shall act on your advice.
2. a communication, esp. from a distance, containing information: Advice from abroad informs us that the government has fallen. Recent diplomatic advices have been ominous.
3. an official notification, esp. one pertaining to a business agreement: an overdue advice.
—————
Q U E S T I O N:
Was Feith acting in his role as the Official Advocate to circumvent the law, or did he merely write advice on how to circumvent the law?
Isn’t giving advice, in an Official capacity, an Advocate.
.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:27 pmshoeless, the US is well on record for not being willing to even think about possible prosecution. The government has proclaimed its capon status quite clearly.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:27 pmI propose we form a fund to pay for a trip to Spain for Mr. Feith to answer these charges. He is so confident, and has been provided with the address, let’s give him no reason not to go. Airfare and a couple weeks in a decent hotel should be doable – and we may get a bit of a refund when he doesn’t need the return flight and gets moved out of the hotel into a cell. I’ll throw in the first ten bucks.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:28 pmI’ve heard of people setting up a legal defense fund, but I’d be into helping Spain with their legal offense fund.
There is a part of me that thinks Team Obama is fully aware of what’s been going on in Europe, and is quietly allowing it to move forward so they will be “forced” to bring charges here in this country to prevent a trial by a foreign court.
I’ve learned not to doubt the wisdom of my new President when it comes to allowing the general public the time it needs to digest information and demand action. And he will get it on this.
Chess anyone?

March 31st, 2009 at 1:33 pmBut, they had to wait until the criminal Bush regime was out of office in order to determine whether they would be held to justice by the new government. Now, these cases can move forward. I would imagine Spain has extradition treaties with most European countries.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:33 pmI sorry, I meant I would imagine the U.S. has extradition treaties with most European countries.

March 31st, 2009 at 1:39 pmI wonder if President Obama will now allow the U.S. to be a member of the ICC. Of course Bush wanted no parts of it.
According to wikipedia:
As of March 2009[update], 108 states are members of the Court;[7][8][9] A further 40 countries have signed but not ratified the Rome Statute.[7] However, a number of states, including China, Russia, India and the United States, are critical of the court and have not joined.[10]
The ICC can generally exercise jurisdiction only in cases where the accused is a national of a state party, the alleged crime took place on the territory of a state party, or a situation is referred to the court by the United Nations Security Council.[11] The court is designed to complement existing national judicial systems: it can exercise its jurisdiction only when national courts are unwilling or unable to investigate or prosecute such crimes.[12][13] Primary responsibility to investigate and punish crimes is therefore left to individual states.[14]
I also wonder if the U.N. will refer these war crimes to the ICC.

March 31st, 2009 at 1:39 pmIs it possible that Bill would/could cross the British slander line with his comments on Sands? Perhaps there’s a reason that the Factor isn’t carried overseas. Or is it?
March 31st, 2009 at 1:40 pmBend over and grab your ankles, Douglas, you have a treatment coming.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:40 pmNobody seems to be asking the obvious questions.
1. Shouldn’t it be the United States that is indicting these guys (Not to mention Bush and Cheney)? After all, they didn’t just break international laws, they broke American laws.
2. People seem to be gleeful at the prospect of these guys not being able to travel. They don’t seem to realize that this implies that the US will be in the position of sheltering these criminals from prosecution.
3. The US is going to leave it to Spain to enforce justice? Seems to me that America once stood for the ideals of truth and justice. Isn’t that the American way?
The United States has always claimed the high moral ground based on ‘American’ values. Is America now going to abandon it’s claim to moral superiority in order to protect Bush and the rest of his torturing henchmen?
The United States has long ‘Talked the talk.’ It’s time to ‘Walk the walk.’ Put up or shut up.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:41 pmspencers butterfly mom took the words right out of my mouth. Maybe AG Holder should contact Mr. Feith to discuss the possibility of rolling over on Bush/Cheney. Holder should compel Feith to weigh the options of being hanged/languishing in a foreign prison or spending the rest of his pathetic life in a US federal prison for his crimes. I understand Obama’s political concerns with going after Bushco but his hand may very well be forced (please Spain don’t twist my arm) if this talk turns to action. Stay tuned…

March 31st, 2009 at 1:46 pmWhat manly men these heroes of the Right were?
March 31st, 2009 at 1:47 pmIt’s all basically moot anyway because 1) Bushies who violated the Geneva conventions won’t travel to countries who attempt to prosecute them, 2) many countries won’t have the politcal will to prosecute them, and 3) Barack Obama is essentially giving them a Get Out of War Crimes Free card here at home. Although I would like to see legal justice applied, the odds are that all of these Bush

March 31st, 2009 at 1:58 pmLook Feith is scared as hell and pissed in his pants when he was given the information of his charges. O’Reilly is helping him dig his self deeper. Now he has the ” I didn’t do it defense”. While on video during the Bush years he was talking about how he adviced the dumb President and he was giving the information in his book and how smart he is. Now he can’t sleep thinking of being waterboarded. Look for this chicken to tell all and even out Dick Cheney. The weakest link is always the one to tell all. Look for other countries to do the same as Spain as many innocent men/woman/children were kidnapped, transported, tortured and raped, as they were held for years illegally by the United States. I wonder what Americans would think of this Bush Policy if it were applied to American citizens and even our children?
March 31st, 2009 at 2:06 pm“Indeed, Feith’s arguments became official U.S. policy with the signing of a presidential memorandum on February 7, 2002. ”
Indeed, an official policy of torture DOESN”T EXIST.
The Presidential memo does not set a torture policy.
There is NO official policy EVER that endorses torture.
Its a figment.
No case, no evidence.

Stupid troll says: “No evidence”
Guantanamo is evidence. Public admissions are evidence. Every pile of rubble and drop of blood in Iraq is evidence.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:32 pmWe can argue this for years, with Mr. Showers always defending his idols, or we can put an end to the pissing match (sorry for the pun Goldie) by having a real trial. Put Feith, Cheney, Bush, Gonzo and the whole lot on trial. If there is insufficent evidence as Showers contends, then they walk and we all shut up. If, on the other hand, they are found guilty they get to hang by their necks and Showers has to STFU.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:36 pmI believe these are the latest documents released through the FOIA that implicate the CIA in torture.
Of course Yoo and Addington were involved with the designation of captives as “enemy combatants”. The whole point of that was to skate out of the Geneva Convention as if it didn’t apply to everyone. Very weasel-ey.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:36 pmIsn’t this just another stretched-out extention of ‘Executive Privilege’, ‘I’m not responsible for the advise I give’ defense?
One person says he was just giving advise, another says he was just taking advise, so clearly no one is at fault so nothing can be done?
All the war criminals of the past wish that defense worked for them.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:37 pmSpain won’t dare try to prosecute our war criminals, because The Mighty O’Reilly has threatened to boycott Spain if it happens. Just the way he boycotted the country that used to be called France a few years ago. We can all see how that worked out. Spain’s entire economic future rests on O’Reilly’s trips to their fair country. They are totally shaking in their boots in fear of his wrath.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:41 pmExcuses didn’t carry at Nuremburg and I don’t think they will carry today either.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:46 pmAs pointed out on Countdown ?last night?, the Spanish charges give Obama and Democratic Senate a wonderful opportunity to “take the high road” and simply say (similar to PFCWoody above):
The investigation really belongs in US hands. While we didn’t start the process, in order to continue it in an orderly fashion, we will start a USA investigation.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:47 pmFeith and his criminal friends are starting to sweat now. They are covering their rears, re-writing history, tossing the blame off to Bush(?) as Feith claims he only gave advice – he didn’t actually commit torture.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:51 pmWhen all is said and done, these guys are like squealing pigs, but far less attractive.
FEITH But there’s also a broader point of principle here, which is what the Spanish authorities are considering doing is indicting people, former U.S. government officials for giving advice to the president.
Paying attention, all you folks who criticized Obama for not doing something?
If Obama had gone after Feith and the rest, he would have had to use the “advice” thet gave as evidence, and set a precedent for compelling advisors to testify in US court. This bit of political zen has put Feith and the others on the fast track to a court that cannot be packed with conservative judges, or tranferred to a more-friendly jurisdiction, and it has preserved his own presidential-advice perogatives.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:56 pmThis is OT, sorry. But the topic is weasels.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:56 pmNewt Gingrich has converted to catholicism this past Sunday, for his 3rd wife. We all know his lack of integrity, his immorality and his sheer opportunism — but his spokesman said that all Newt’s past life has been absolved and he has a clean slate now ( to run for president in 2012??).
Lynndie England needs to be pardoned. She was following orders from the top and then was made the scapegoat. Its a complete miscarriage of justice for her to sit in prison while those who crafted the policy continue dodge and weave their way scot free. PARDON LYNNDIE ENGLAND!

March 31st, 2009 at 3:12 pmSo if you didn’t do anything wrong, just go to trial and state that. I know personally that I never advocated torture, so if Spain wanted to drag me before a judge, I would be the first one to pack my bags and grab my fancy paella bowl.
March 31st, 2009 at 3:14 pmD. Feith, the stupidest man on Earth, is a WAR CRIMINAL! Thank God for their ‘arrogance’, for now we have plenty of interviews where they argue for the exemption of Geneva convention and statutes against torture! Feith, there is plenty of evidence that YOU ARE GUILT AS CHARGED! YOU ARE A WAR CRIMINAL!
March 31st, 2009 at 3:24 pmRice, you too! The day of reckoning is drawing near! You will be free to stay inside the USA, the country you helped to bankrupt or have a vacation in Israel. Anywhere else, you will be arrested!
FEITH, a real stand up guy, huh??
He’d be the first guy on the witness stand to testify against Bush or Cheney . .
Remember when Jon Stewart asked him: ‘Have you no shame’?
March 31st, 2009 at 3:28 pmPFWoody488 Says: Sorry, buddy but the US has this thing about national security. Somebody believes that if US criminals are brought to justice in the US it will cause the collapse of our government
I don’t know about you…maybe the government should collapse! IF we can’t abide by our laws and international laws, WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING A GOVERNMENT????? What’s the point in having LAWS?????
As more and more information comes out…it will not be just the Spanish that will start proceedings, look for other nations to join in the unvaling of US hypocrocy!!!
If the US want’s to maintain any respect…the Government must bring these culprits to justice.
March 31st, 2009 at 3:28 pmI hope Mr. Obama get the drift and APPOINT A SPECIAL PROSECUTER NOW!
March 31st, 2009 at 3:31 pmMy only complaint about the Spanish actions is they didn’t reach high enough. I imagine that if the trials go forward and the minions are found guilty, we then have no option but to have the trial of the real perpetrators of these crimes, Bush and Cheney.
March 31st, 2009 at 3:31 pmHere is an interesting question…if international courts find the BUshies guilty as charged, will the people of the US pressure government to hand over the guilty????
If the government does not, the US will be just like the Serbs protecting there war criminals.

This is just the begining of a long process which will get to Bush/Chnney & Co.
Don’t forget we have their admition on Tape saying they personaly approved Torture!
We also know very well the the War Criminal and Lier, Rice, chaired secret meetings in the WH about the US’s Torture program.
This is just the begining, and for Feith to go on Fox advocating ignorance and innocence… he is feeling the heat!
It is just the begining!
Mr. Obama argues that he wants to restore America’s moral stand in the World…
Mr. Obama, if that is your real intent, it is time to appoint a special prosecuter to deal with the War Crimes of the previous administration. Also, it is Time to forget the Oil Pipeline through Afheganistan, stop both occupation (Iraq and Afheganistan), and stop drones attacks inside Pakistan. It has been years now and the US will not prevail with yet another ’surge’.
You were elected because you said you were going to end the War. If the economy is your concern, it is time to review and cut by half the military budget. Time to invest in productive industry, infraestructure and education…
My advice to you is to read Chalmers Johnson’s “Nemesis”, do that while you still can, before it is too late. If it is not too late already!
Make the real CHANGE and appoint a special prosecuter now!

March 31st, 2009 at 5:59 pmBill-o and Feith….This time two negatives don’t equal a positive.
Can’t wait for to Feith to say
“Well I didn’t expect the Spanish Inquisition…..”
March 31st, 2009 at 7:20 pmIt’s sad to hear Feith squealing like a pig. Must be worried.
March 31st, 2009 at 7:39 pmThe top “torturous” and traitorous Republican officials in the former Bush/Cheney administration, if they ever travel overseas, will probably take along some of their lawyers with them, just in case.
My bet is that they will stay within U.S. borders, hoping that whatever party is in power in the White House and on Capitol Hill, now and in future years, will protect them from prosecution, blocking any attempt to hold them accountable for their war crimes.
The only solution, the only way to bring these criminal Republican Bush officials to justice is if enough Republicans, and equally corrupt, insane and perverse Blue Dog Democrats, are replaced in Congress with “law and order” “rule of law” Constitution-honoring patriotic U.S. citizens who actually believe that no one is “above the law,” no matter what political party, no matter what statute of limitations might be invoked, no matter how long it takes.

Didn’t General Frank call Feith, the stupidist man he ever met?
He called him the stupidest f**king guy on the face of the planet, to be a bit MORE specific.
And this was in 2003. BEFORE the Iraq Invasion.

A pardon for Lyndie England would be like a pardon to a camp guard at Auschwitz who shoved his victims into the gas chambers.
I was just following orders is NO DEFENSE.

April 1st, 2009 at 10:03 amA Spanish court, are you kidding? Why can’t the American libs go after these guys? Because its a joke, and gives Keith Putz Olberman something to talk about. Is anybody sick of him bashing O’Reilly? Olberman couldn’t shine O’Reillys shoes. Bush, Bush, Bush, Cheney, Cheney, Cheney, they are laughing at Obambi and his new administration, none of which have paid their taxes. Nobama is a joke that doesn’t know what he’s doing. Olberman is a jealous punk.
