Levin: don't seem to be aberrant. Gonzalez wrote in memo decision against Geneva Convention affords flexibility. Sends message to the world that US does not feel bound by standards of conduct.

How far up the chain was there explicit or impl. knowledge of abuses? Why were military police subjugated to military intelligence? How is in our interest to have civilian contractors conduct interrogation? Military authorities don't have the same authority over civilians.

This treatment is not aberrant but methodical and intentional.

Right out of Kerry's playbook.

Levin is using this hearing as a tool to question "everything" he doesn't like about this war.

Apparently, you need to read it again.

Apparently, you weren't succinct while you were frothing at the keyboard!

Oh, oh, Levin has just nailed the chain of command for trying to extract information from prisoners to save the lives of our troops. Guilty, guilty, guilty. Off with their heads! /sarcasm

LOL. Than Rummy looks up, and says: "Oh, I'm sorry. Did you say something?"

But think of all the people who don't KNOW this is politics. Those were atrocities and of you think only with your emotions, you will be lapping this up and telling all yer friends...

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

Let him. Admittedly, it hurts our troops, but it's good politically for the President.
