Fox and Friends: prison, prison, Hersh, defense attorney says case of MP's is winnable, prison, prison, etc.

I tried to watch them this morning. Really, I did.

They're just moronic.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I turned off the TV when their retired Army spokeman gave praise to Hersh and said Rumsfield is in for more trouble in the Senate.

What kind of trouble? (I hit the mute button)

[leadpenny]

" Army Maj. Gen. David Petraeus"

I believe it is now MG (P) David Petraeus

[Alas Babylon!]

Yes, and earlier this week on Hannity and Holmes McCain told Sean that he will not be Kerry's VP--no, never. So if for whatever reason he flips and accepts, he's gonna get a lot of heat for his words this week. It will make him and Kerry look like a couple of Mexican jumpin' beans.

Hersh has said it was Rumsfield's frustration over all the red tape when we needed info from prisoners in the field(Afghanistan) that led to this prison abuse. He allowed looser restrictions...or some such...It created the climate..yada yada..(The Geneva conventions apply to uniformed soldiers is my understanding)...

I want some of the Senators to walk the Guantanamo cells and be showered with excrement and urine for day or two.

[evad]

What kind of trouble?

There's a thread on it...
Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld and one of his top aides authorized the expansion of a secret program that permitted harsh interrogations of detained members of Al Qaeda, allowing these methods to be used against prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, according to an article in The New Yorker.The article, by Seymour M. Hersh

Doesn't Biden have anything else to do on Sundays?

Hair Plugs for Men must be next door to where they tape the Sunday shows. He has a standing appointment for right after his appearances.

[secret garden]

Thanks again for starting the thread. :-)

The first hour of C-Span was pretty brutal. Lots of Lefties responding to the question, "Is torture ever justified?".

C-Span is the training area of choice for seminar callers. When they all drone on about the same subject, using much the same words, you can be sure it's DNC talking points disseminated to a union shop, civil rights group or senior citizen's home in Palm Beach County.

Does anyone think there's any chance we might hear the name Berg mentioned this morning?

"Senator Levin, 20 years from now, which do you think will have made more of an impact: the butchering of Nick Berg or the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison?

Time to see if Chris has some cojones!

[gov_bean_ counter]

Ii wouldn't matter. In Levin evil mind, Berg and the prison harassment are moral equivalents.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Sorry, Levin's...

[Alas Babylon!]

In a time of war, a war where an enemy seeks out and targets civilians, killing indiscriminately for fanatical religious reasons, an enemy that wears no uniform nor belongs to no nation's military, what do the liberals expect should be the correct treatment of these enemeis when captured? Do they realize those captured may have information about future attacks, attacks targeting innocents?

I mean, of all the issues confronting us, can't they see we're dealing with criminals and thugs, not enemy soldiers?

This is all and only about "getting" Bush. If a democrat president employed these tactics, these same critics would have nothing but praise for it. They'd use my reasoning above. Getting an abortion, marrying their same-sex partners, and demonizing Republicans are far more important causes then preventing murder from terrorsits.

FOX NEWS SUNDAY (Fox Network): Secretary of State Colin Powell, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich. = wishy-washy SOS talk & America-bashing idiot RAT

MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Sens. Joe Biden, D-Del., and John McCain, R-Ariz. = 2 RATS

FACE THE NATION (CBS): Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Carl Levin, D-Mich. = maybe one sane voice + America-bashing idiot RAT

THIS WEEK (ABC): Secretary of State Colin Powell; King Abdullah II of Jordan. = 2 mealy-mouthed, say nothings

LATE EDITION (CNN) : Army Maj. Gen. David Petraeus; Sens. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., and Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga.; presidential candidate Ralph Nader; Tim Russert, NBC News; Iraqi Governing Council member Adnan Pachachi; retired Gen. George Joulwan, former NATO supreme commander; former CIA Director Stansfield Turner.= none worth listening to except maybe Chambliss

Conclusion - take a walk on the beach instead!!

Zakly..
The "get Bush crowd" will fabricate anything to chip away at this man's credibility.

They haven't been successful yet...
and they won't be with this crapola either.

[upchuck]

Conclusion - take a walk on the beach instead!!

A sterling idea. Don't have a beach handy, guess the woods will have to do :)

[mathluv]

Sen Nelson was on After Hours last night. He said he had been to Guantanamo more than once - implying things were fine there.

[MEG33]

I know..but some of the prisoners love to throw bodily fluids.

'Getting an abortion, marrying their same-sex partners, and demonizing Republicans are far more important causes then preventing murder from terrorsits'

So sad.......so true!!!
