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

Levin, as usual, is over the top. I thought the alleged mistreatment was done by reservists rather than active enlisted military?

[Triple Word Score]

We HAVE to start thinking like the enemy...

We have to understand them, but please, let's not start thinking like them.

[Peach]

Amen.

I went on a long drive this morning, which turned out to be a waste of time, and prayed for the entire hour for Rumsfeld.

[cake_crumb]

They're incarcerated. Court martial procedings are under way.

[fml]

When does that matter?

[prairiebreeze]

As I suspected, all network channels are covering.

And the swift boat veterans presser got squat from the media.

You and all are welcome to it.

[Howlin]

Right....Levin's going with the Kerry excuse, they made them do it.

I hope that stupid little women down at Fort Bragg is watching this.

[maeng]

No verdicts yet. No sentence yet.

Levin making the dem point I've stated is their aim:

This treatment is not aberrant but methodical and intentional.

Quoting the president's lawyer, Gonzales, about not invoking the Geneva Convention.

As I've repeatedly said, President Bush and Rumsfeld did not authorize this treatment and THAT is what the dems mean by an "apology". Not that this aberrant behavior (which it in fact was) took place at all, which is what their "apologies" are.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Levin's slamming the entire military...the CIA...everything American.

It's sickening.

The Japanese are filing a protest with UNESCO for this flagrant abuse of Kabuki theater..

[JFC]

Hopefully, the SHARKS will bleed to death and their partisianism will be so blantant to the American public... they will all lose their seats.


Amen

[Howlin]

Not a minute's worth.

Army tightly guarded pictures of prison abuseWithin hours,(on jan13th) the investigators seized computers and disks from members of the unit. The next day, Gen. John Abizaid, commander of all U.S. forces in the region, was on the phone to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.

"General Abizaid informed the leadership within hours of the incident," said a senior Pentagon official.

[prairiebreeze]

The report by Iraqi Gov Council a few days ago that they found evidence of Oil for Food payments to some journalists?

[Howlin]

Thanks for the reminder.

[maeng]

Thanks, you put it better than I did...

Anyone guess what the next Big Thing will be after this blows over? Let's face it, this is the very reason the rats wanted a short primary and a long GE campaign - more time to use THEIR assets (Media, Hollywood, Print Media, Senate stuffed with graveyard-ready hardliners) to assault the president for as long as possible. We will be watching hearings until November and they all will be "unprecedented".
