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

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

[factsearcher]

New technology has brought the advantage that everything is known... and quickly.
Can you imagine the circus we would have gotten on news media if we had the same technology back when Nixon was president? even Reagan?
I''m telling you lots of things like this type of torture happened behind close doors...
That is not the humanly right thing to do.. agreed... but!
I''m sick and tired of all the tyrants threating us on a daily basis.
You know something?
Whoever becomes the next president... I want him to have a bad temper and throw the biggest fit in the Oval office... I want him to foam at his mouth... and then make sure it is captured on TV. I want Kim Jong IL, Chavez, Ahmadenijad. Castro, Putin and lots of those towel headed guys to watch our president in action... and feel so threatened that they would stay awake at night worried if our president will press the red nuclear button (which will be next to our president''s alarm clock)...
I want our respected American back... I want our fierce freedom and economy back!

In the name of patriotism, we have participated in a planned deception to create a state of permanent war. In the name of profit, America has been sacrificed on the altar of the god of war, to create a global empire based on the mass-marketing of death.

%u201CWe are opposed...by a ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.

Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the [war] with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match...%u201D %u2013John F Kennedy, 1961.

I think all you bleeding hearts should go back an look athe tapes of 9/11.. People jumping to their death so as not to be burned to death. Thousands of dead including Police and firefighters who would have ran in their to save your sorry a*sses as well But all you''''re concerned about is these Mf*ckers that got interogated and you''''re main goal is to Bash the administration.. Well good for you, I''''m sure you sleep well at night you low life pricks.

Won''t you be surprised when you find out who was really behind 911---

Stay in your cave till then.

Rice is a peice of shiit just like her ruler Bush !!!!!

[liberalme]

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.

Martin Luther King has probably rolled over in his grave do to Ms. Rice''s unwaving support of George Bush''s corruption machine.

[harp1963]

As a middle aged white guy who grew up in a metro area with many black friends who made me feel like one of their family, I am embarrassed for black America because of Ms. Rice. I think back to the mid 70''s when black Americans were extremely vocal about making things fair and equal for all, especially the least of our brother. Then I see this Secretary of State we currently have giving her unwavering support for the most corrupt elitest Presidents this great nation has ever known. Ms. Rice doesn''t represent the wonderful black men and women I have known growing up in Steel Country. She is an embarrassment to all of them.

"So the ground is different now," - Rice

Yes, it''s soaked with the blood of hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis, 4K US soliders and what''s left of the tattered, disgraced reputation of the US.

Rice is a filthy, souless war criminal. I hope she, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Bush, Feith, and the others ALL face a tribunal one day. Thankfully for them, they never have to face the obscene interogation tactics they used on others.

[roger_inkart]

What someone should have pointed out to these souless monsters in the Bush adminstration is that torture is not an effective way to gain workable intel. Historically, it it one of the most ineffective.

And, unfortunately, you lose the higher moral ground when you resort to the tactics of these animals.

Torture is effective and vital only on TV and in the movies. In the real world it is counterproductive, makes barbarians of those who torture and creates a propaganda tool for the terrorists. It also endangers American troops who are caught by

Again, there is no justification. There is no way it can rationalized.

It is NOT HELPING TO PROTECT THE NATION!
