Rick Santorum Doesn't Believe John McCain Understands Torture

Politics

Could you imagine a Democrat making this claim, instead of a Republican presidential contender? Now comes presidential candidate and “enhanced interrogation” supporter Rick Santorum arguing on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show that McCain simply “doesn’t understand how enhanced interrogation works.” Yes, he’s talking about the same John McCain who, in his five and a half years […]

Carmel Fires Cause Determined

Misc

Sorry wingnuts. It wasn’t terrorism. The “mooslims” weren’t trying to torch Israel. Instead it was a 14 year old boy that accidentally started the fire: A 14-year-old boy from the Carmel region admitted Monday to throwing a piece of burning coal into the forest and causing what later became the largest and most devastating forest […]

Ft. Hood Truthers

Misc

And they came out already, starting with Hannity, who is claiming that President Obama knew about Maj. Hasan. As Cesca reminds us: After 9/11, everyone — everyone — supported President Bush. But it’s clear that the wingnuts and Republicans will never give our current president the same deference. But what about George Bush – did […]

What Does 9/11 Mark?

Misc

I was just reading Cohen’s latest piece of crap-o-la over at the WaPo. First let’s start with this: Attorney General Eric Holder has named a special prosecutor to see whether any of the CIA’s interrogators broke the law. Special prosecutors are often themselves like interrogators — they don’t know when to stop. They go on […]

Exuctive Privealge After The Term?

Misc

Things look like they are going to get interesting next year: “The Bush administration overstepped in its exertion of executive privilege, and may very well try to continue to shield information from the American people after it leaves office,” said Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, who sits on two committees, Judiciary and Intelligence, […]

How To Stop A Judge – The CIA Way

Misc

Easy – if a judge wants to see some tapes, just destroy them! At the time that the Central Intelligence Agency destroyed videotapes of the interrogations of operatives of Al Qaeda, a federal judge was still seeking information from Bush administration lawyers about the interrogation of one of those operatives, Abu Zubaydah, according to court […]

al-Qaeda May Move Outside Iraq?

Misc

Ok this is an interesting statement: The director of national intelligence said Tuesday he is concerned that al-Qaida in Iraq is shifting its focus to attacks elsewhere in the region. “They may deploy resources to mount attacks outside the country,” Mike McConnell told a Senate hearing, although he also said that fewer than 100 terrorists […]

Scapegoat?

Misc

Kind of sounds like it: The CIA official who gave the command to destroy interrogation videotapes apparently acted against the direction of his superiors, the top Republican House Intelligence Committee member said Wednesday. “It appears he hadn’t gotten authority from anyone,” said Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., speaking to reporters after the first day of closed […]

If You Waterboard Me Then It Is Torture

Misc

That’s what the nation’s chief spook said: The nation’s intelligence chief says that waterboarding “would be torture” if used against him, or if someone under interrogation was taking water into his lungs. But Mike McConnell declined for legal reasons to say whether the technique categorically should be considered torture. So we now are a nation […]

Republicans Filibustering Republicans?!?!

Misc

This is the absolute proof of the hypocrisy the Republican party exhibits: Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist signaled yesterday that he and other White House allies will filibuster a bill dealing with the interrogation and prosecution of detainees if they cannot persuade a rival group of Republicans to rewrite key provisions opposed by President Bush.
