Rockefeller: Actually, I Just Found Out About the Destroyed Torture-Tapes Yesterday

TPM ^ | 12/7/2007 | Spencer Ackerman

[MNJohnnie]

Rockefeller, actually you are a liar and a fraud and a disgrace to the US Senate.

[n230099]

He “remembered” just after the “news cycle” ended. They’ve now got till Monday to come up with something more coherent sounding than “wow man, nobody told me nuthin”!

[the invisib1e hand]

documents are destroyed all the time. you see, many of them are useless. often, what little useful information they contain is recorded or transcribed and saved digitally.

the more they struggle to find a smoking gun -- nay, even a body -- the dopier they look.

Jay Rockefeller couldn't tie his own shoelaces if someone showed him how to do it. This is the man entrusted with the oversight of the American intelligence community.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

[Popman]

Pure unadulterated BS

He knew.

The early news reports that come out before the Dim spin machines started spewing out disinformation is the SIC was informed

[Dutch Boy]

It’s amazing that someone of this caliber is in charge of anything important. He is a hack. He full well knows what is going on but chooses to only remember in a way that hurt Bush’s policies.

[tobyhill]

Rockefeller is getting snagged in his own lies. This whole video thing may have just been a big rope-a-dope.

[tobyhill]

Jane Harman also knew and supposedly sent a letter “asking them not to destroy the tapes”.

[Morgan in Denver]

My first thought was how worthless he is, just a POS. How this man ever acquired the power he has escapes me. It can only be the family fortune that has kept him in office. He proves time after time that is is ignorant and worthless as a sitting US Senator.

[Popman]

Jane Harman also knew and supposedly sent a letter “asking them not to destroy the tapes”.

Well, if Jane Harman asks them not to destroy the tapes, that must mean that they knew about it.

Rockefeller and Harman should get the stories straight before someone in the MSM actually put two brain cells together and risks losing their job by asking about the two different versions of the story.

One of these Dim Senator slugs is lying, probably both!

[tobyhill]

Out of 1,300 articles I was only able to find 2 that set the record straight on these 2 knowing.

[shalom aleichem]

I heard on Fox news that Rockefeller’s staffer was in a meeting which discussed the tapes but apparently he did not see it important enough to brief ole Jay bird.

[relictele]

Jay Rockefeller - the man who couldn’t leak straight. Remember his ham-fisted performances in the run-up to the Iraq war?

Even the DC press, used to covering for incompetent ‘anonymous’ sources, couldn’t protect him so blatant were his transgressions.

[Diogenesis]

Perhaps Jay was in Syria delivering intel.

[tobyhill]

Too funny! I know nothing.

[Melchior]

Rockefeller is a humorless Uriah Heep. If he has a single redeeming human value it has yet to be demonstrated. He has proved, however, just how easy it is to buy West Virginia. And the mountain morons once bought, stay bought.

[I see my hands]

No torture, choices. They can choose to be incinerated alive, leap from a thousand feet in the air or talk. More choices than others get.

[Popman]

Out of 1,300 articles I was only able to find 2 that set the record straight on these 2 knowing.

Wow, you read fast...................

But, I'm not surprised. After all, if the MSM actually reported the truth, this is would be a non-news event.

No red meat for the Dimmicrats to feed their moonbat base for money

[johnny7]

It’s like that letter to Cheney he kept in his safe...
