Now, however, comes the news that Pelosi knew as early as 2002 that the U.S. was using waterboarding and other torture techniques and, far from objecting, appears to have cheered the tactics on.

lots of folks were in on this – if we really want to make sure it doesn’t happen again – then we need to make sure ALL involved are investigated and judged

In fact, if you look at the American Bar Association’s Model Rule 6.1 you see:

A lawyer should aspire to render at least (50) hours of pro bono publico legal services per year. In fulfilling this responsibility, the lawyer should:

(a) provide a substantial majority of the (50) hours of legal services without fee or expectation of fee to:

(1) persons of limited means or

(2) charitable, religious, civic, community, governmental and educational organizations in matters which are designed primarily to address the needs of persons of limited means

Providing free legal counsel to a person making over $160,000 a year is not “pro bono” service – it is a give away to a Bush crony by a former Rehnquist clerk looking for publicity.

I disagree with you on Obama slimming his way out of this. He basically left it up to congressional leaders to do their jobs. By Obama staying focus on the economy especially the banks, GM, health care reform and the budget as well as other important domestic issues and two wars and trying to restore some type of diplomacy around the world these are the things I want Obama to stay focus on and not loose sight. That’s a tough job alone, in hindsight I see his strategy, by releasing the memos it opened a whole worm of cans which is why the republicant’s are at a lost and they have no idea what is going on.

Just look at how much time each and everyday they watch his every move come on they b-itch about a handshake and a smile? I bet when Obama goes and takes a dump they will report that, he didn’t fart correctly or it was to loud etc. When you got Boehner comparing CO2 emissions to cow farts one has to wonder???????

Why do you post these things? Just to show how stupid you are. We already know you are stupider than iron filings. You just spew out this ignorance as if it was anything but you being a petulant ignorant punk. Just go kill yourself. The world deserves to be a place without YOU. It is the only thing someone as ignorant and worthless can do to make the world a better place so take one of those guns you are so proud of into the next room and do the right thing. Put down some plastic first so your wife can rejoice in her life without the burden of your ignorance and not have to clean up after you

That’s the same bush-2 p-Resident who nominated bybee to the federal bench AFTER bybee had done the hatchet job on our system of justice at the request of cheney and field-marshal rumsfeld.

Since the entire bush-2 administration is criminally responsible for an untold multitudes of crimes, and everyone who served in it is worthy of being impeached, I hardly see how the results of this “investigation” have any bearing on a bybee impeachment.

bybee committed professional suicide with his actions. And then he lied and hid behind claims of “executive privilege” to conceal his crimes during the Senate confirmation hearings that passed his nomination.

Throw the bum out!

Either figure out a way to get real justice, or do what all of you do best. Obfuscate and take the well know path of least resistance.

But, but, but…
… I thought the House Madame took accountability “OFF THE TABLE”.

Of course, they conveniently forget that the identities of all involved are cloaked.

Manadel al-Jamadi is one of them.

AlexLawyer Says:

The media make a lot of waterboarding and insects, but nobody is mentioning that there have been dozens of deaths during interrogation which were ruled homicides by military pathologists.

This is why investigations and prosecution are necessary…not ignoring it by looking forward…the only think I’m looking forward to is seeing these b@stards in jail…their reputations ruined so they cannot worm their way into another administration down the road.

Impeachment is indeed in order for Bybee. Dems in Congress, bring your spine. Justice calling.

Nooooo! I love reading your posts. =( Don’t go!

I’ll leave now…

“you’re” should be “your”

I must be tired…

Ahhh Ms Mahoney, your strategic move to make us think you’re so confident about you’re client that you’ll take his case for free is a serious miscalculation. You — and your partners — will sorely miss the thousands of billable hours this will cost you.

:-D
