Two former law intelligence officials told CNN that former Vice President Cheney is getting a “bum rap” over reports that he ordered the CIA to withhold information from Congress. While the covert program was reportedly an effort to assassinate al Qaeda leaders, Time reports, “The program could have required the Agency to spy on Americans.”\

Why would the CIA program include spying on Americans? The NSA has already been doing so since prior to 9/11. Interesting how the strings of so many illegal actions lead straight back to Cheney. Some idiot Republican senator (don’t remember which one) said yesterday that, while the CIA should notify Congress of most intelligence activities, “what if it really WAS “top secret?” SO!!!???!! According to the law, ALL intelligence activity, overt or covert, actual or anticipated, is to be reported to Congress. PERIOD.

How about a “vote up” or “vote down” for the post itself?

TP, that’s quite the conversion. It turned “votes for” into “vote down”. Welcome to extrinsic motivators, i.e. how rewards punish.

I can vouch for that, too, Moderate Squad.
Living in the Chicago suburbs, the racism I witness every day, in person, and in letters to the editor, even the tone of the local papers, is astonishingly backward and primitive.

Obama appointed Dr. Regina Benjamin as Surgeon General. Her compelling life story would change not on iota under any “pay for performance” plan, a foundational element of the President’s health care reform.

(LibertyLover jumps up and down and pretends to be a Republican.)

“I demand an Up or Down vote on the nominee. Oh, wait, she’s not a Republican? Then let’s trash her and demand more time to keep her off the bench.”

We should all be ready for some fireworks. If not from Congress, certainly from the misogynistic right.

Here is a perfect example of women haters starting the cannon fodder.

AmericasBack Says:

Like I said before, I haven’t caught up with the threads yet, but does anyone else get as discussed as I do that the MSM hasn’t reported that perhaps thousands of people (OK, they were Taliban – but still people …and we ARE NOT Nazi’s) were killed in Afghanistan. It was done by warlords backed by the CIA. The people murdered were prisoners. There is such a thing known as The Geneva Conventions – although I know that the bush crime family/wave didn’t think it applied to them.

There was a link yesterday that the President had ordered an investigation into this. Hopefully it will start garnering attention.

I’m back to work, after a much needed 10 day vacation (yes, I’m bragging).
Did TP change it’s moderators or it’s policies?
Or is it now just AJTP? All day, all night. Does AJ even have a job.

And what’s with the infighting?
Sheesh.

doodle, you are a stalker/flamer and anyone that reads the threads can see it if they look.

Pretend to be a “big fan” if you want, you come here and attack people not ideas each and every day and you do it until the dialog about the thread is terminated.

FLAGGED. Apparently nothing else will stop you.

Well, AJ’s here to monopolize another thread, plagiarize, complain about a flame war he starts EVERY TIME, and not back up his seriously flawed arguments with credible links because he’s “not your monkey” (and has not a leg on which to stand). Guess I’ll have to seek intelligent discourse elsewhere…

This is why they have a kid’s table at Thanksgiving dinner. Bye…
