The 'Rats are fools if they try to rehash Pantygate and in effect offer sympathy for the terrorists while our young men and women are fighting in Iraq. It will be interesting to see which 'Rat Senators try to make political capital out of this and which decide not to.

I'm here and had already turned on CSPAN for the first time in ages thinking this would be the topic. Guest is Harold Koh, Former Sec of State for Human Rights in the (you guessed it) Clinton administration.

So far the spin is predictable and callers are free to misrepresent. Now some female caller is upset that memos are being withheld, Koh is approving of the fact that memos have been leaked and thinks Gonzales would want them to come out.

I have an errand to run this morning so hope they break for lunch (I'm sure they will) around noonish their time, tennish my time---I really wanted to leave around nine, but fear this will be don't miss tv. Oh, good caller pointing out unconventional enemy we're fighting.

"The Torture Memo"....gotta love the libs' ability to spin an issue.

BTW, have the "widows" chimed in on how tough we should be with these unlawful combatants?

"That's last year's list."

Duh. More coffee. I'm listening to Koh now telling us that we want our troops protected by the Geneva Conventions, which I am quite sure Bin Landen and his band of merry men have signed on to. If we are nice to them they will be nice to us.

It's OK ... all of us have days when we are stupid in the morning.

Now, if you were stupid all of the time ... you too could someday be seated Left of Arlen Specter in that Committee!

There is no "if", that is exactly their plan.

It's sure to be a disgusting spectacle.

I keep remember the dems licking their chops when Rice and Ashcroft were to appear before the 9/11 Commission and Rice and Ashcroft handily won the day there.

I still can't believe Ashcroft was seriously asked about flying private planes before 9/11 and it turned out he had not, but the implication is tinfoil craziness.

On the other hand, Senator Salazar is a Democrat (who just was elected to the senate in November) and from Colorado. He also is the highest ranking Hispanic to be elected to office.

That's probably why the RATS have him up there. To "illustrate" that "it's OK to criticize Gonzalez, see, we have a Hispanic who's criticizing him. See, we aren't racists."

Lyin' RAT clymers.

I'm beginning to pick up the media's lastest "talking point" or is it "wishful thinking" -- that Bush is beginning to come around the Powell's way of thinking and maybe Powell shouldn't have left.

Not offensive to me; they ARE offensive though - in their complete double standard.

Obviously I had scrolled right past the list posted at the beginning of the thread because Koh is listed right there!
