I'm glad that we agree that we need to form a Truth Commission to investigate this whole torture thing! :D
And then let's get Ashcroft and Rumsfeld and Cheney and Gonzalez and Rice and Bybee and Yoo (and Pelosi and Reid) and the rest to testify on these whole matters! It's so great to be on the same page!
oMg lolz you made a pun about a Democrats' name! Please show us your brilliant wit and insight into politics by mentioning 'algore' and 'nobama' again! ROTFL!
PS- No, seriously, though so glad that conservatives are on board with the Truth Commission. Civil liberties and government transparency are in again! New spring fashion! :-D
You're expecting conscientious behavior from Nancy Pelosi? Are you high?
Again, "was briefed about it" =/= "ordered it done." Just because someone was told something doesn't make them guilty by association. I'd say "keep trying, it's amusing" but it really isn't.
OK, let's see: She was briefed on the use of torture. She MAY have known it was in use, but the administration MAY have buried that fact deeper than she would or could have realistically known. Hmmm....Guess we'll have to see what an investigation of the facts reveals. I would not put either possibility past either side.
Why the use of TORTURE by the Bush administration is turning into "Pelosi is the big bad liberal, blame her, look at her, that's the big deal, ignore the guys in the corner who decided to actually do it!" I'm not sure, but smells vaguely of KoolAid drinking to me. I'm still waiting for the neocon nuts here to: a). Admit their perfect leaders ordered TORTURE. b). TORTURE IS WRONG. c). They need prosecution.
Beyond that, we can discuss who knew what about the whole thing, and prosecute them appropriately.
