I'm sure all the networks will be showing this.

Doesn't matter whether you believe me or not! This issue is a fight for power between DoD and State! Frankly, I am rooting for DoD; may Rummy expose the leftist-radical State Department for what it is - UN AMERICAN! Discrediting Rummy to regain their power and funding is what this is all about so look a little deeper than the mainstream media.

WHat the hell is that on top of Ben Nelson's head?

Reminds me of an overpass.

[highlandbreeze]

I demand that they find the individual or individuals that leaked this thing!!! Who leaked these pictures?

[mtbopfuyn]

YEs and someone leaked criminal evidence to the media. Hang em high.

Ben Nelson: Agrees with Lieberman. Armitage said yesterday "We're in a bit of a hole." Hope we've stopped digging. Tearing down Saddam statues was symbolic, perhaps just as important to tear down Abu Graib. Expects responsible action will be taken re chain of command. Was there something more systemic than just a few? Knows a 2-star general was removed from duty. Isn't there some expectation there was a severing of the chain of command? General Karpinsky was banned from sections of her own prison system. Can you enlighten?

WHat the hell is that on top of Ben Nelson's head? That is one Bad TV preacher hairdo!!!

[McGruff]

Oh here we go, "President Bush, Tear Down that Prison".

[goodnesswins]

I faxed Levin and Warner.....among other things I asked "WHO DIED IN THIS PRISON FROM MISTREATMENT?" And "When will they demand pics of those who JUMPED to their DEATHS on 9/11?".....and also added the senators "look like imbeciles."

The Arab terrorist world must be loving this....

Meanwhile back in Iraq thousands lineup outside their local prison wanting to be humiliated, photographed,
and compensated.

[Madame Dufarge]

OK, deal.

It'll be our secret....

[Diddle E. Squat]

What our side needs to do is put this in context. Next time some idiot blathering liberal in your office starts off on her rant, ask her if her child has every run out into the street without looking, touched something hot, started a fight, or said something mean or nasty in public, and if she should thus resign as her child's parent.

All are potentially bad, all are in theory preventable, all in theory could be spun to reflect bad on the parent. If she expects perfection, rather than just the proper response when something happens despite her efforts to prevent it, then shouldn't she be held to the same standard?

[mtbopfuyn]

If I should look that good now.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

" These moron politicians "

These clowns should not be allowed to have oversight over the local dogcatcher, let alone the military.

I heard that Lieberman was great and McCain behaved like a total ass.
I caught Byrd mumbling about a lot of " fingerprinting " going on in DC .
Susan Collins speaks like she is the bus driver on the little yellow bus.

The Senators , for the most part, behaved exactly as we thought they would- pontificating buffoons.

This Committee has actually made the 9/11 Commission look like truth seekers.

[PISANO]

If there are VIDEOS why can't the Administration go to court and get an INJUNCTION placed on the televising of EVIDENCE before it is presented in a court of law or in this case a courtmartial?

[cajungirl]

Hey, I just had an idea. CBS committed an injury on these dear prisoners by publishing these pics. We should set up the prisoners with a good lawyer, maybe John Edwards, and let them sue CBS for damages

[ellery]

Rummy: there are a lot more photos and videos that exist. If they're released to the public, they're going to make things worse. That's just a fact.

[RightWingMama]

don't wish he'd drop dead, I just wish the good people of West by-God Virginia would get a clue and vote the senile old fool out of office. Then he could get on a plane, land back home at the Robert Byrd International Airport, get in his car in the Robert Byrd Parking Garage, drive down the Robert Byrd Highway, past the Robert Byrd Rest Stop, turn left at the Robert Byrd Government Building, and pull up at the Robert Byrd Rest Home for Incontinent Racists, where he can spend his final days in a rubber room screaming "PRETTY, PRETTY, PRETTY!" at the top of his lungs.

ROTFLMAO! (yes, I'm waaaaay behind on this thread.Howlin, Rags, thanks for the ping.

[mtbopfuyn]

Take names and don't vote for them next time.

[Mo1]

Rummy says it's a fact that if those pictures are aired by the Media it will make things worse then they already are

[OXENinFLA]

teraing down the prison might actually be a smart PR move.

Why so we can pay to have another put up?
