He said he wanted "a tax on the pirates".

They misunderstood him. He said he wanted "a tax". They thought he meant "attacks".

"At times, Mr. Zubaydah, still weak from his wounds, was stripped and placed in a cell without a bunk or blankets. He stood or lay on the bare floor, sometimes with air-conditioning adjusted so that, one official said, Mr. Zubaydah seemed to turn blue."

America!WooHooo!!!

Imagine your brother falling 60 stories on fire. Then try feeling sorry for poor Mr Zabadiyah. Did you want a band-aid for your heart?

Sorry I'm not living up to the image you've built up in your head of me.

I'm pretty sure they tried to impeach him for lying under oath. I'm assuming that isn't legal, but I'm no lawyer.

[BIRD33]

So I assume you're for pursuing criminal charges against bush and cheyney since you're such a stickler for the rule of law?

You must be posting from the past where articles from 2007 are relevant to today.

There's still nothing wrong with him. Maybe you're confusing him with his crimes.

He was convicted of aggravated assault and manslaughter as a juvenile when a gang member he kicked in the head died. After serving his last jail sentence, he converted to Islam.

A gang banger that converted to Islam may be a good enough label for you to be able to accept an American citizen being held for 4 years without being charged with anything but it isnt good enough for me.

The GOP has no chance the next 8 years.He's too cool to be beaten.

[Paddy]

What about that Specter guy switching sides? You'd have to be pissed if you voted for him.

[BIRD33]

He had no choice.He was going to lose the republican primary to a wingnut because the get r dun portion of the state (all 300 k of them) is mad about the bailout that he voted for.He was a democrat back in the 60's so this isnt a real shocker especially when you consider he's been winning general elections for decades by having millions of democrats vote for him over their own parties candidate.I hate specter with a passion for other reasons.

He's jumping off a sinking ship which in my mind is smart.In the latest polls only 21% of americans call themselves republicans now.How fucking crazy is that?Nice job Cheyney and GW.I don't think this is some momentary funk the GOP is in when you look at where they stand on issues like gay marriage and torture.Most of the country does not agree with them on those issues, especially young people.They've turned into the dixiecrat party and are so far gone that defending torture sounds like a winning plan to them.So much for the two party system.

That's terrible. They should have just cut off his head and dragged his corpse through the streets. Very much more humane.

Calling people names may make you feel better about yourself, but it doesn't make you right. Sad really.

Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, who in 2002 was the ranking Democrat on the House committee, has said in public statements that she recalls being briefed on the methods, including waterboarding. She insists, however, that the lawmakers were told only that the C.I.A. believed the methods were legal — not that they were going to be used.

By contrast, the ranking Republican on the House committee at the time, Porter J. Goss of Florida, who later served as C.I.A. director, recalls a clear message that the methods would be used.

“We were briefed, and we certainly understood what C.I.A. was doing,” Mr. Goss said in an interview. “Not only was there no objection, there was actually concern about whether the agency was doing enough.”
