I URGE ALL to watch this NOW to see the testmony, questions and our potential security and futures at stake.

Ashcroft tells it like it is, BUT PLEASE watch at least until Ric Keller, pubbie from FL, questions Clinton's temp. Solicitor General, Walter Dellinger, even tho those critters questioning will make you wanna scream. I WANTED TO KISS KELLER! HE LAYS out the 'torture' issue in his questioning with such perfection, you'll be cheering.

God bless him ... I saw it this am, and WILL call his office to congratulate and encourage him. He was fantastic .. so was Mike Pence and Steve Chabot, I believe.

I have been watching this rerun since it began.

I was troubled by the part where it was said that it is torture to make a subject think they are in danger of losing their life when they are not ever harmed and never in any real danger of losing their life. I don’t think that is torture and I would have no trouble doing such a thing.

Broken ‘bow-bow’? Lol, did you get mad and ‘elbow’ someone?
Just kidding and it must be painful.

Wish these videos had caption, had hearing loss in my 30’s and find them hard to understand. Will watch to see what is said about it.

Thanks STARWISE!

STARWISE, it is better to break any other arm bone, I think, then the elbow, which is the joint and has to move to work. I hope things are improving and I really feel for you.

He’s been great ...+notice how no one has thanked him for his son’s 2 tours in the gulf.

It wasn’t Chabot whose comments were so great, it was Gallegy from CA ... he gave sterling remarks. Chabot is also good, but Ric Keller knocked it out of the park re prez clinton + Bus.

That can be gotten by, how many times has a Dr. told you this won’t hurt at all and it hurts like heck. You just assure the little SOB that this won’t kill him before you waterboard him.

You'll really like him in a couple of hours when he says: "I see the direction you're trying to point me in, and frankly I'd rather you point me towards the door.
