Comments on: Rice Defends Post-9/11 Interrogation Rules

Secretary Of State Says Tough Methods Of Questioning For Terror Suspects Was Necessary

[sgtrds-e4]

To hear Condoleezza Rice provide justification for this Administration''''s use of torture (don''''t even insult my intelligence by saying "harsh interrogation") is pathetic.

When over the course of this country''''s 230 year history so many have died to protect our rights for these barbarians to use 9/11 as an excuse to discard our Constitution (let alone national ethos) is nothing short of high treason.

Thank you, but I for one would rather die than give up these sacred rights!

Don''t try and obsfuscate - I won''t fall for it.

You said there were a ''bunch'' of racist comments made here. What are they? Please repost exactly what you believe to be racist.

And you sound like a typical Liberal who thinks that this will all go away when we leave Iraq. Yo''''''''re kidding yourself. If this country had men like you defending it then we''''''''d all be either British or german. You like your rights and freedoms but forget how we got here. guyfrompa45

Yeah, like back when McCain was a kid.

[pr_boxer]

I remember all the doomsday predictions about what would happen when we left Vietnam. well all that really happened was we stopped getting our guys killed there.

Now,we dont have Al Qaeda hemmed up in Iraq, if the wished to attack us here and they are competent enough to pull it off, it''ll happen.

Also, Al Qaeda is a very minor player in Iraq, the Shiite militias are far and away the biggest player there,besides us, so get this straight, the major problem there is "US" , the Iraqi''s resent foreign troops in their homeland, so would you. The only Iraqi''s that want us to stay is those that are raking in corupt dollars.

Osama Bin Laden is a paid puppet of the Bush Administration. Research Betchtel Corporation. The Bin Ladens and Bushes own parts of it. Bin Laden''s family was allowed to depart the US for Saudi Arabia when while everyone else was grounded on 9/11. The Bush admistration orchestrated 9/11 to bolster and unpopular preseident and take away attention from teh fact the the vote was hacked to get Bush in office. Ity also pushed the Energy Commision agends. Rememer Cheney''s secret meetings with oil executives in 2001-2002? That where the war was planned to horde resources and push their agenda. Now they are hyperrish and 4100 American are dead because of thier unending greed. War was for oil, not Freesom. Iraq was intentionally targetted.

Obama Seeks Red Cross Help On War Crime Charges Against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers (Traduccisn al Espaqol abajo)

Russian Foreign Ministry reports to President Medvedev are stating today
that US Presidential candidate Barack Obama has sent one of his top aides
named Valerie Jarrett to meet with officials from the International
Committee of the Red Cross, in Geneva, Switzerland, to what is being
described in these reports as the %u2018preliminary stage%u2019 to begin actions in
the International Court of Justice charging the present United States
President, Vice President and former US Defense Secretary with war crimes.

As we had previously written about in our October 15, 2005 report, the
International Committee of the Red Cross opened in that year a War Crimes
Portfolio alleging that President Bush, Vice President Cheney and Defense
Secretary Rumsfeld, and other US Officials, were in violation of Articles 3
and 4 of the Geneva Convention and could be tried for Crimes Against
Humanity.

The ones that really deserved to be tortured after 9-11 were Bush and Cheney.

[inventagod2]

Were those pesky NeoCons responsible for 9/11 AND the anthrax attacks???

[oscarez]

exvet528- Grown up? what are we playing barbie dolls you tool. They dont give a *** about any rules. Why dont we put them up in a hotel too.. U liberal belleding hearts make me sick. You''''ll be the firat one running for cover. A bunch of Pu**ys. You discrace this country

We got here by torturing those from whom we want to steal oil? A "bleeding heart liberal," as you put it, is someone who sits down to discuss theories and conduct diplomacy, because none of this is ever going to go away. This is the world that people like you have created and it''s people like liberals who will have to clean up after "people like you."

-yawn-

Violence begets violence. At what point does it stop? we can only expect for things to get worse if we continue acting like wild cowboys by murdering, torturing and holding people in jail without evidence of wrongdoing. Killing will incite more killing with no end in sight. It''s time to stop the madness and get the heck out or Iraq & Afghanistan. Let;s call a spad a spade. This war has not accomplished anything but getting America in huge amounts of debt, taken away our civil liberties and turned America into a police state.

[twood001]

Detainess are Prisoners of War and should be held according to the geneva Convention. We are the same America who imprisoned the Japenese in camps during war. Haven''t we learned our lesson? Instead of trying prisoners with evidence, we are now assisinating them with drones for percieved or questionable activity along with innocent civilians. Are we now judge and jury. How many innocent Iraqis and foreigners have been held, tortured, and raped for years with no hope of help from the Supreme Court or any US court of Law?? We have become the terrorists we so despised. They don''t hate our freesom, they hate our occupation for the purpose of obtaining their natural resources (oil). We are no different than China taking over Tibet for thier land since they ran out due to population. Bush and his cronies had a plan to start this war long before taking office. His family and friends are now rich at the expense of the poor''s children who went to go fight for a lie. Where the heck do we go from here??

[stn_sage]

Rice has reinforced my view that she''s an incompetent idiot! After being part of a group that misinformed the public as to what threat Hussein posed to the U.S. in the run up to the war, she''s responding to questions about ''torture policy''?!

That''s right, Condi! Keep talking! If war crimes trials are held against you by some foreign country---in abstencia---nothing like supplying evidence against yourself! Your talking your way right into that wrought-iron cell in the Hague!

Keep talk''in, and George and *** will forget that you''re a buddy of theirs! They can''t have a ''loose cannon'' like you on the outside. Next thing they know, they''ll be reading about how you want to write a book about your experiences!

Aside from the obvious adminstration, military and political dysfunction, it is people like you who add nothing to the furtherment of our society and provide an embarrassment to our standing in the world arena. You sound like a tween, skipping school for the day.

[pr_boxer]

it isn''t "if Obama gets in" its "when he is elected".
