Gee golly whiz, a half wit told a half truth because his half president didn’t trust him.

The only place half doesn’t come into it is good ole Dick who is bragging whole heartedly about being a criminal.

Half Truths? Only Half Truths?

F that, call it what it is…A LIE!!

That’s what we had for a President, a LIAR.

But of course no one is going to do anything about his WAR CRIMES.

He’s gonna get a pass because of Politics.

And leave it to MENZA’s brainchild, GOP Senator Lindsey Graham who cited an infamous ABC News report from 2007 that said a terror suspect broke under minimal waterboarding, and suggested it undercut the claim that torture didn’t work.

But Graham didn’t appear to be aware that the report has since been debunked, and that ABC itself has since corrected the record. from the Plum Line

Of course, he didn’t excuse himself or provide an apology, as he continued on with his questioning after a BLANK STARE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS! He is just like the rest of them – IDIOTS!

OT: Gibbs is hilarious dealing with the press critters that can’t seem to silence their cellphones

he just ‘confiscated’ one, then another rang, but the reporter left with it. upon returning, the reporter asked ‘what’d i miss?’

gibbs responded ‘you guys brief him on our new SC nominee’

too funny

This morning on MSNBC, needless to say, Scarborough stated that he ‘backs Cheney’ in that TORTURE was not used and this is all a big todo about nothing. Can’t help but wonder what he thinks of this testimony by someone who was actually there by the name of Ali Soufan. I guess tomorrow morning he will denounce his testimony as well because after all, Cheney [and Bush] can do wrong in the eyes of ‘every’ Repuglicant.

Whitehouse also read a portion of the May, 2005 OLC memo that claimed that Zubaydah “identified Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as the mastermind of the Sep. 11 attacks”
__________

Do you know who else identified Khalid Sheikh Mohammed as the mastermind of the September 11 attacks? Khalid Sheikh Mohammed!

The man friggin bragged about it to an al-Jazeera reporter months before he was captured. No waterboarding necessary.

I just wish someone would say flat-out, “He lied.” Instead, it’s always something like, “The statement as presented does not conform to what you know to be…blah, blah, blah.”

He lied. They lied. They are still lying.

“As Soufan tells the story, he challenged a CIA official at the scene about the agency’s legal authority to do what it was doing. “We’re the United States of America, and we don’t do that kind of thing,” he recalls shouting at one point. But the CIA official, whom Soufan refuses to name because the agent’s identity is still classified, brushed aside Soufan’s concerns.”

In other words, Soufan knew he would be committing TORTURE and REFUSED to do so EVEN WITH ORDERS FROM GONZALES! What a stand-up guy. And for him to tell congress that W lied – what a god-send! Thanks Mr. Soufan and Senator Whitehouse – America needed [needs] more MEN like you.

What’s the big deal? As raynman points out, it’s not like Bush lied about getting a hummer. THAT would have been SERIOUS.

Let’s see. There’s no need to torture. It doesn’t produce reliable results. It violates policy that goes back to George Washington. It violates international law.

But it is ok in the reichwing ethos. Totally bankrupt.

Sen. Whitehouse was on both Ed & Olbermann last night. He stayed right on target, never straying from the fact these legal ‘memos’ were illegal in opinion, & the WH was waterboarding before telling ANY congressional officials.

Thank you, Senator Whitehouse. We need you and others like Feingold & Rep. Kucinich to ‘keep poking the pig’.

Poking the pig may not be politically correct, it annoys the pig, too. But eventually…

the pig squeals.

Yeah, but remember, Clinton lied about a blowjob, and that’s much more important….
