Comments on: Report: CIA Pushed Torture Envelope

Justice Department Says FBI Warned Spy Agency, Military, That Their Tactics Were "Borderline Torture"

[bmadeline-2009]

If we want to blow up people and torture them if they didn''t get killed in the blast, that''s ok....IF we admit we are a Godless country with thousands of phony Christians. Have at it heathens. Then say we are "better" than they are. What garbage.

Get a clue, it''s not OUR way of thinking though. Well, at least not mine. But then again, I still have a shred of honor and decency left.

"We do not torture." GWB - Panama City, Panama, Nov. 7, 2005

The International Committee of the Red Cross, the European Union and human rights groups demanded information about the prisons, and an E.U. spokesman said their existence could violate international law.

"This government does not torture people." GWB - WASHINGTON, D.C., Oct. 7, 2007

"It appears that under Attorney General Gonzales, they reversed themselves and reinstated a secret regime by, in essence, reinterpreting the law in secret," said Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont.


"I suspect that former Deputy Attorney General Comey will again prove to be right in his prediction that the Department of Justice will be ashamed when we learn more about all that they have done," Leahy said.

Leahy, who heads the Senate Judiciary Committee, warned that the "ongoing scandals" at the Justice Department "now encumber" the nomination of retired federal judge Michael Mukasey, selected to replace Gonzales as attorney general.

Who ARE these people who are mad about this? The ACLU? They are a bunch of dolts. They drill holes in our guy''s knee caps, cut their body parts off while they are still alive and castrate them. We make them wear panties on their heads and perform dog tricks AND WE ARE THE BAD GUYS?! God you liberals are insane. We are not hard enough on these monsters

[obamaslady]

I guess you can ''justify'' anything if you want! Bushco not only ''ignores'', but ''supports'' this behavior. But if this problem was reversed and it was our military being treated in the same manner, we would be on the streets raising h*ll. Will we learn anything with this report? I truly doubt it since there are too many ''IGNORANTS'' among us who want to put McSameBush in the WH to make the same calls or worse! If that occurs, we will DESERVE everything we get (or don''t get) just like with Bush!

Never been in Uniform have you?? You''''ve never faced the possibility that YOU may have to depend on the LAWS about such things have you. I have wondered for YEARS what happened to the American I grew up in... the one I loved? ONCE we said OTHER people do these thing''''s we do not. Now we have American''''s who igore everything this nation stands for because of FEAR. Thank God we ONCE had people with courage... not cowards like these.

You haven''t got a clue. If you think this country never used harsh interrogation until now, you are delusional. Do You think Vietnam was not a time of burning homes, destroying villages and holding captives under harsh conditions.
Here''s a clue. It doesnt matter how we treat the murderous enemy. You seem to think Al-quaeda has signed on to the Geneva convention.

But it''''s ok to put a bag over our heads, decapitate us, and drag our bodies through the streets....

Posted by globlwarning at 09:04 AM : May 21, 2008

No, but it''s not ok for us to do the same. I mean otherwise why not just change our motto to "America, we''re no different then terrorist!"

[blondbeotch]

omnibuss66---wah, wah, wah you are a typical bleeding heart LIB----whose to say your "story" is even true!!

[blondbeotch]

skyk 8:08 LOL You live in a dream world---the world is a completely different place now

[sgtrds-e4]

Slime runs down hill and considering how immoral, corrupt criminal and slimy Bush and Cheney are it''s no surprise. Corrupt leadership results in corrupt followers.

[skyk-2009]

Still doesn''''''''t even come close to the tactics used by the insurgents. At least their''''''''s are still among the living. Not true for those of ours who get captured, we find them brutalized, mutilated, and dead. I feel no pity for these butchers

A few years ago, a prisoner in one of our local jails was strapped naked, off the floor, to his cell bars with chains for approximately 24 hours. When it became known as to what had happened, the State Attorneys office decided that nothing had been done wrong.

When the government gets hold of you, you are a piece of meat, at their mercy. If they think that you might have some influence, they might treat you according to the rules. Otherwise, forget it.

[skyk-2009]

I really don''''t care what happens to these people. At least when we let them go they get to sue our govt. When americans are let go they usually come back in pieces. OH, I''''m sorry, a dog growled at you? You had to ne naked in front of a female? No, No really I''''m sorry about that ha ha F*&k Off.

+ report abuse

I remember my Father, a member of the Greatest Generation and a vet of WW II, telling me about the trials after WW II. We were better than they were, he said. We didn''t treat those we felt were our enemy as they did, thus we have a right to put them of trial and punish them. "When you act in the same manner as those you fight", He said, "you become no better than they are". That from the mouth of a Veteran of the United States Marines, 25th Marine Division, 1942-45.

[prinzowhales]

The Regime is flying thousands of prisoners into Iraq so they won''t have to worry about those pesky human rights lawyers...they can just shoot them down like dogs...or non-imbedded reporters.
