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

If you want abuse..put your fingers in the cuisinart..

[Right_in_Virginia]

I don't remember...did all the news channels carry the Senate impeachment "trial" live...like they're carrying this?

[maica]

Wasn't she over in a Iraq .. teaching how to protest
&&&

Yes, and if she doesn't have her own personal 24/7 coverage by our counter-terrorism forces, I want to have a commission to find out why not.

She is one of the most actively instrumental subversives in America today.

I can't stop crying, it was so emotional I am in shock and awe and I really cannot stop crying it was so beautiful, wow, there went my heros loud and clear! BEAUTIFUL

Do we need further proof that these people are in bad need of a) a gray matter injection and b) serious therapy ?

Whenever I need a laugh and an example of just how stupid and evil human beings can get, I hop on over to satan's lair there.

[Cold Heat]

the next thing coming will be compensation to the abused prisoners.

And that was a surprise?

We do it all the time, even in petty cases.

what makes you think we would not do it in this case?

[Howlin]

Not a thing, but they are going to get ALL their licks in ------count on it!

[Mo1]

this is grandstanding

Give it a little time .. Levin's up .. now the grandstanding will start

[StriperSniper]

one member of the committe was not there. Do we know who that is?

Nope, will have to check them off as they appear.

[cyncooper]

I disagree. Warner was giving them an opportunity to show how the publishing of pictures put our troops in harm's way.

ACK

Levin

Describes a picture. GHOUL

[sarasota]

I saw the Biden testimony on Fox last night. He's got a grip on the truth here.

[zook]

I predict an American backlash against the scandal mongers who are undermining our troops.

Can anyone imagine during WWII, where we know there were abuses of POW's, the Secretary of War being treated this way?

The attacks on Rumsfeld are attacks on America.

I think it's completely terrible what those guards did. But you know what? When I saw that photo of the prisoner with the collar and leash my first thoughts were "Woof, woof!"

[QQQQQ]

Rummy doesn't owe those clowns anything. We are at war.

Exactly. He should tell them, that he rather answer questions about alleged abuses of terrorists prisoners, than answer questions about why we didn't prevent a major terrorist attack, which killed hundreds, even thousands of American civilians or soldiers, when we had prisoners under our control who had information, we could have used to prevent this.

The more Bush, Rumsfeld, and the US apologizes, the more it encourages the terrorists and the Democrats to attack.

[Freemyland]

Thanks for that story. Made my day.

[Peach]

I should have been more clear:

Rumsfeld said he would provide for compensation to the abused prisoners.

[TankerKC]

Wow! Warner actually stuck to the 5 minutes...or maybe 6.

[OXENinFLA]

Myers asked CBS NOT to show these pics and they still went ahead and did it.


CBS has blood on their hands!!!

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

If they're crying now, I hate to think what they will do on November 3. Luckily for the nation most of them are anti gun.

[AFPhys]

I tried to do some research yesterday on this very question.

My searches of UCMJ and such were very unfruitful, but I'm
not a lawyer, and have little experience with doing searches
in legal situations. I would love to discover what the
penalties for this type of behavior is, even. I know that
when in the military, we were all very heavily educated that
prisoners had to be treated with respect, and that and abuse
of them was counterproductive, and played into an enemy's hands.

[cyncooper]

Again: Warner's questions were very good.

Please people, get a grip.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Warner's question was excellent. He was pointing out the HARM done by the media publishing these pictures.

Way too subtle, IMHO. He should have asked it flat out.
