Her going on the talk show circuit did not elevate my respect for her. You can defend her all you want.
Ah. The pink one. Altogether true prediction in #3, the resident joo-obsessives are already turning up.
Sure does. We can't leave wounded enemy on the battlefield, much less allies. If by 'protect' you mean 'not divulge classified informatin', then yes, that's true too. However, there is no indication that she's been covering for anyone. To hear her tell it, she didn't know anything anyway.
If Israeli contractors participated in, or directed, any of these illegal interogations, do you wish to see them "take it like a man"?
I expect her to STFU until the investigation runs its course. She's deliberately avoiding the procedures because she thinks she's in trouble, an option that people of lower rank do not have. This is a horrific breach of military discipline, and shows her deep disregard for the justice she'd expect others to stand to.
If seniors at the Pentagon knowingly hired such poeple to lead these interogations of this nature, do you wish to see them "take it like men" too?
After the investigation, we'll know for sure. If anything glaring is left out AFTER the investigatin, like the presence of Israel interrogators, then that would be a good time to bring it up. Doing it now is flat out inappropriate.
As so many supported the techniques (techniques the President felt obligated to apologize for),
There is nothing wrong with sleep dep or stress positions. Those are some of the most gentle physical interrogation methods around, and have been considered perfectly legal interrogator SOP for the last 50 years.
why would they be at all embarrassed about having the identities of all the particpants in the public record?
1 - It's not what she's saying, but how. By trying to circumvent the investigation, and appeal to the public, she's saying that she doesn't trust the military to give her justice. She's also saying it's better to damage the dignity of her rank, the reputation of her service, and credibility of the nation, than to take her chances in court. That's a message that a general has no business giving those below her.
2 - Many, many countries, on many, many different issues, agree to help us, in secret. The mere presence of an Israeli interrogator doesn't mean anything more than he was there. Unless you are under the impression that the Israelis routinely put underwear on the heads of leashed prisoners, I don't see what the point of mentioning them would be, other than to muddy the waters.
