Hey, these Americans are definitely terrorist criminals but hey they are OUR terrorist criminals. Or should I say ones paid for and run by Exxon, AT&T, GE, Halliburton, Wal Mart and other giant corporations.
The main point is the article is flawed. A majority saying the hearing 'is not necessary' is completely different then a majority saying they oppose it. Everyone knows wording changes the way people respond to polls, and yet CBS changes their wording dramatically from the poll's wording when they report it: in other words, if you asked what they're reporting on ( opposition to torture hearings) you'd get a much different set of poll numbers.
It's basic poll statistics. Doesn't CBS know that? Fox News doesn't, but CBS ought to.
GOOD LAWS ARE A MUST IN CIVILIZED SOCIETIES, TO KEEP THOSE SOCIETIES CIVILIZED. WHEN A GOOD LAW IS TRAMPLED ON WITH IMPUNITY TO THE OFFENDER, FOR POLITICAL REASONS OR WHATEVER. THAT GOOD LAW THEN BECOMES NIL AND CAN LEAD A SOCIETY TO COPY-CAT THINKING -- IF OTHERS CAN BREAK THE LAW WITH IMPUNITY, WHY NOT ME TOO? A GOOD LAW BROKEN WITH IMPUNITY, CAN PRODUCE THE SOUR FRUITS OF DISREGARD FOR ALL LAWS. DEGRADING AN OTHERWISE MODERN SOCIETY BACK TO THE AGE OF THE DINOSAURS, WHEN THE ONLY LAW OF THE LAND WAS SELF-SURVIVAL...
TORTURE? HUMAN CIVILIZED SOCIETIES, IN THESE MODERN EDUCATED TIMES, SHOULDN'T CONDONE THE HEINOUS PRACTICE OF TORTURE. INFLICTING PAIN ON ANOTHER IS NOT RATIONAL THINKING, NOR IS IT HUMANE. WE CAN'T LOSE OUR MORAL AND UPRIGHT STANDING AND GOOD EXAMPLE TO THE WORLD, BY ADOPTING THE SAVAGERY AND MINDLESS BEHAVIOR OF AN ENEMY WHO IS STILL IN THE MEDIEVAL AGES. WE HAVE TO CIVILIZE AN ENEMY, NOT LET AN ENEMY DEGRADE US BY ADOPTING AN ENEMIES MINDLESS WAYS. REVENGE IS A PLATE BETTER SERVED COLD. ADOPTING THE DEVILS WAYS, WILL NEVER GET US OFF THE ROAD TO HELL, WE SEE OURSELVES SLOWLY AND INSIDIOUSLY BEING DRAWN TO, IN TODAYS MODERN WORLD OF DISCONTENT...
We're almost six months into the Obama administration and Bush is more alive than ever, sad that it takes nothing more than a little griping and complaining about our safety being protected than this. Interrogate in whatever manner is necessary to keep our children safe from the monsters who cooked up 9/11. It may not have occurred to some of you that the passengers of those four planes would have preferred they and their children be waterboarded as opposed to having their lives taken from them. The Obama administration needs to move forward, quit spending trillions, and start governing for the people.
Waterboarding is interrogation , and tough-- but those who are saying it's "torture" for the politics of it, are advocating that other tough interaction is the next threashold of "torture" to be elliminated! And projected further will have us in an absurd position of not even being able to handcuff these captured terrorist! This is the whole point Pelosi and others are persuing! Make it illegal to manage terrorist we capture and who have important information! Lifesaving information! They are trying to cripple our ability to wage effect war against a clear enemy who are proven to be violent! If the terrorist found their stay in captivity tough--I don't care! I do question the ethics and character of Pelosy who is a liar! Walking California sleaze.

There are many levels of physical pain that people inflict on one another. Sexual assault or rape is not the leading one. A prostitute will accept any customer. Raping a prostitute means trying to get a freebie. Lubrication of the vagina or anus relieves their pain. Torture easily leads the list. The recent exposure of water boarding opens up an awareness of unbelievable pain. A tortured victim will falsely confess to murder. It is a horror under any circumstance and should be outlawed. Sexual assault is also wrong even if a secondary level of physical pain. Forcing a person to have sex is a serious crime and should be prosecuted with the full extent of the law.
It does not matter who wants crimes investigated or not. Crimes were committed in abundance and if there is no prosecution then all those who do not prosecute become accessories after the fact. As many of the crimes are international crimes then any international court can prosecute as Spain has already started.
I cannot understand how lying about a ******* demands impeachment but a tsunami of lying, cheating, mass murder, attacks on civil rights guaranteed since the Magna Carta, and a longer list of other crimes than anyone even kept track of is just fine, and partisan to even suggest that such laws be enforced.
If these crimes are not investigated and punished they will be precedence for a future Gang Of Pirates to save the Bush administration from being recorded in history as the worst ever by being absolutely worse yet.
