I wouldn't be surprised if Dubya put that mention in his book, as a way of sticking it to them. Sort of saying, "Come and get me, you SOBs!"
Ain't gonna happen, of course. They can eat dust.
Come and get him, Holder.
The Democrat Party will collapse into 100 years of darkness.
Let’s waterboard Amnesty for supporting terrorists!
When’s the last time those clowns objected to an act of terror?
Oh shut up, AI.
So, did these people EVER get upset about MaryJo????
Hypocrites.
Heh, love “Spooky Dude” - such an applicable name... Beck has this part right...
Yes, this is just another stupid probe by the left...
I’m not shocked “W” ordered waterboarding the bast — the 9/11 enemies... I refrain only because of a sense of decorum, not because I believe anyone would object to that title being applied to Khalid Sheik Mohammed.
Amnesty International, the Hague and any other international bunch — or the Justice Department for that matter — can go ahead and just TRY to indict and try “W” on such a charge. You ain’t SEEN trouble and angry like you’d see if they attempted to march him in for merely DEFENDING OUR NATION. A lot of folks didn’t like Bush — I disagreed with him on a number of issues — but THAT!? That would be tantamount to treason on a number of levels — a betrayal of our own SELF DEFENSE, not just of one man!
This entire group can GTH and take the Marxist-democrat party owned by George Soros with them.
Prosecute President Bush for water-boarding Moselm terrorists? LOL.
He did his duty as CIC. BRAVO and THANK YOU, PRESIDENT BUSH!
This denunciation of supposed torture (water boarding, etc.) and torturers proceeds from believing that political capital and moral authority can be harvested at a safe distance by berating people who put themselves in harm’s way on our behalf. To regard such actions as criminal requires asymmetrical morality, undefiled by any perception of danger to ourselves or others. Placating those who covet such a luxurious, dilemma-free type of morality requires we ignore military and intelligence professionals who face shrewd, ruthless enemies in a conflict fraught with frightening uncertainties.
Terrorists remain unresponsive to direct questioning and psychological gambits. Effective interrogation necessitates also applying all stress and coercion techniques — the same techniques our military encounters in survival schools. Effective interrogation requires combining these techniques within a continually confused and uncertain environment. If the only information obtained is a confession or an assumed desired answer, then incorrect questions have been asked.
Intelligence acquired by these means remains as unreliable as that obtained from satellite surveillance or double agents. Independent verification still leaves intelligence officers lingering in a purgatory of distorted certitude with critical hazards only conquered through the resolute leadership of commanders.
Rep. Peter DeFazio quoted to me 20 former Army interrogators saying that abuse and torture of prisoners and detainees should be avoided at all costs. I find that disturbing, because on Sept. 11, 2001, we were prepared to shoot down any civilian airliner that did not land immediately, regardless of its crew’s assertions.
There’s an incredible moral disconnect here: We were prepared to kill our own citizens on 9/11, but we’re forbidden to subject terrorists to severe discomfort that might prevent extravagant murder and destruction. At what point in the application of chemical, biological and atomic weapons to our society must we protect the American people “at all costs”?
When Amnesty Intl. starts going after alQueda and the Taliban, MAYBE I'll pay attention to anything they have to say.
Just try it. Go ahead and try it.
Since it was a legal tool, it would be a waste of time to prosecute.
Amesty International? Core? UCLA? What & Who Elected them?
We, the US of A are a government by the People,for the People,and of the People!!!!
We elected him,that is,we elected George Bush the President of the United States of America!
The people spoke, that should be the end of it!
Amnesty International is NOT for prosecuting the admitted mastermind behind the 9-11 attacks then. HE was the terrorist who was waterboarded.
HE gave up credible information on numerous plots, some of the information was used to thwart the Heathrow bombing.
AI is not what it pretends to be anymore.
I have a checkbook. How much $$$ do I need to donate to Amnesty in order for their leadership and staff to descend upon Crawford, TX with the purpose of effecting a citizen’s arrest on alleged war criminal Bush?
Really, I’d pay very good money to make that happen.
