Apparently, you didn't watch the speech that Pres. Obama gave to the CIA yesterday.....It sure wasn't scare tactics.....(I think you have to be licensed by Rove and the GOP to use them) You've got to get your remote fixed....there ARE other news outlets on TV besides Fox Noise.....I guess Fox was too busy yesterday re-showing clips of the tea parties they helped to sponsor and promote to actually show a current news story. Fair and Balanced..........

Momster...."They're not allowed to interrogate".....Please tell us all where you got that from? There are differences between torture and interogation....but I'm not shocked that you don't know that....Bush and Cheney and the rest couldn't figure it out either. .....so they just made up their own rules.

Perhaps you should take the time to read it.........It pretty well spells out that it was violated.

Wayne,Mom has said on here she would not be opposed to the waterboarding of her own children.....we actually convicted & sentenced to death people for this in WWWII, but now it's ok?

Here we see once again you go after the poster because you are completely inept and unable to discuss politics.

Why do you post in current events? Do we even have one dem here that can talk the issues?

if you are ashamed of what you said,I completely understand...I would be too. the "issue" is that waterboarding is torture.the "issue" is torture is wrong & illegal. the "issue" is we convicted & condemned people to death for this in WWII.

No electric shocks? No waterboarding? !!!! Do you comprehend?
Pardiss Kebriaei, a staff lawyer at the center. "These are not the conclusions we had hoped for under Obama. It's very disappointing."

Let me get this straight. They find the fact that a report found the prisoners were treated humanely "disappointing?" What in the name of all that is good and holy is wrong with these people?

It's simple, really. They have been bellyaching for 8 years that the prisoners were being mistreated and now that a report shows they were wrong, they aren't big enough to admit it

wouldn't it be nice if we already had a post on that?

so if you keep on posting it, somehow you'll get us to see the light?

What - no electric shocks? No waterboarding? What kind of an American military prison is this, anyway? At least one "human rights group" is not pleased:

Civil liberties groups, including the Center for Constitutional Rights, which is about to issue a report on conditions at the prison, challenged Walsh's findings.

"We do think conditions are in violation of U.S. obligations to treat prisoners humanely, and prisoners are at a physical and mental breaking point," said Pardiss Kebriaei, a staff lawyer at the center. "These are not the conclusions we had hoped for under Obama. It's very disappointing."

Then there are the inmate lawyers who really should be given some kind of award for doublespeak. This one is complaining about the force feeding of his client:


Ahmed Zaid Salem Zuhair, a Saudi who has been on a hunger strike since the summer of 2005, has lost so much weight during his time at Guantanamo Bay that a federal judge has ordered an independent medical evaluation of him. Zuhair's attorney, Ramzi Kassem, said his client has been strapped to an uncomfortable chair for hours at a time during feedings and described the procedure as very painful.

"They deliberately use this brutal method that has no medical justification to put pressure on people like my client to give up the hunger strike," he said.

What universe does this guy live in where there is "no medical justification" for trying to keep someone alive?

So what you're saying is that all the documentaion that was just released about the torture that went on a Gitmo or some secret prisons is all made up?Even Cheney said it was true.
