Oh yeah, and of course the Whitewater hearings, the Foster hearings, the Chinese cash for influence hearings and a myriad of others didn’t have any lapses of memory pop up.

The Post has a short memory.

SOooo... Congress thinks that being nice to the muzzie madmen will get us the info we want?
Turn the muzzie madmen loose in Congress, we’ll see them sing a different tune then.

I actually watched this witch hunt...er, hearing.

Carl Levin kept yelling “What do you mean you don’t remember seeing this memo, and this memo, and this memo.”

When a more sane questioner had a turn, as it happened neof the “evil” memos were adressed to him or his department.

Irony.

I'm sure some anti American types would be fine using any tactics to get info from Karl Rove or this guy.

It all depends on who you think the real enemy is.

Anybody who pisses Carl Levin off is a hero in my book.

Being questioned by Carl Levin should be considered torture. Listening to it certainly is.

“William “Jim” Haynes II, the man who blessed the use of dogs, hoods and nudity to pry information out of recalcitrant detainees”

If the author had a memory, or did any research, he would discover that it was prison guards who did that. And they were either tried or court martialed.

“the use of dogs, hoods and nudity to pry information out of recalcitrant detainees”

As an American citizen, I approve those methods.

All of this is an attempt to smear President Bush, the best President we have had in generations. I am so tired of Democrats going after a man who has been God-sent to lead our nation.

Sorry Levin. But a dog barking at a terrorist is not torture. A blindfolded terroist is not a victim of torture. A terrorist with a gal's panties on his head is not being tortured. Levin is a vile, disloyal, traitor, attacking those who defend America and aiding those who attack it. His Michigan constituents include many Islamic extremists and he is posturing for their votes. Like many of his kind, he has no real loyalty to, or love for, America.

I wonder if the Post made any similar remarks about Hillary’s answers to a Congressional hearing.

As I recall she made about 240 responses of “I don’t remember” or “I have no specific recollection,” etc.
