First, I cannot believe he was detained for the fun of it, we are at war, perhaps we need to go to congress and actually have a formal declaration of war.

Do we need to continue to give out information that is important to our goal of the security of the US.

All this will do is play into the left, who seem now fixated on Blair who was a friend of Bush, and who has said if asked to do what he did would do it again.

As the daughter of a military officer, former USAF, my father-in-law served in Vietnam, and my husband, US Army officer, serving tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, we may not be part of the CIA but our goals are the same to keep the USA safe, this is troubling.

This is Britain’s doing, not the USA’s.

What torture? There’s no torture mentioned.

[Former Military Chick]

While I agree, where is the influence of the Obama administration, aren't we allies?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Bummer? He could care less.

[ltc8k6]

I mean by the US...

[Former Military Chick]

There isn’t any torture, IMHO, but just the way this was challanged, released what do you think the Obama admin will do with this?

[seastay]

How long will it be before some European or Obama Moot court hands down a verdict of guilt for the Commanders of the special forces who water boards each and every one of their soldiers just like the. 2 terrorists were but feed them worse food. Lets not hold our breath on that one, else we might be convicted of torturing ourselves.

[HiTech RedNeck]

What do you mean? Having to listen to Eminem at normal volume would be torture.

[Former Military Chick]

Our CIA folks do a great job, so do our military, if you get a chance read "Courting Disaster" it shows how this admin has chosen to release so much at the peril of those who risk their lives.

Courting Disaster

I doubt the Obama admin really cares what the courts do in Britain, but it really put's our CIA folks in a situation they do not deserve.

[Former Military Chick]

OMG, let's not even go down the road of the EU and Obama who want's a gentle hand when he deals with folks like the Iran Prez.

I am all for getting info the easy way, but, those that want to kill American's aren't usually inclined to sit down with a cup of tea and open up about Osama.

Our CIA and military are honorable folks, they don't sit around thinking about how to torture. We are at war, it is really that simple.

Thank you for the comment.

Great book to read .... Courting Disaster

[HiTech RedNeck]

Britain already knew this stuff while Bush was president, because their own spies (MI5) were personally present. If this is the size of it, we hardly have a scandal.

[Former Military Chick]

True, but remember many singer’s filed a freedom of info, to find out what our soldier’s were playing, if it was their music, that was getting them to talk.

HO HUM.

Thanks for the comments.

[Former Military Chick]

Agreed, but, it is that even this much was allowed to be gained. Anything can show weakness, in the eye’s of the enemy.

I guess I am really tired of the enemy knowing WHAT we are doing, with the info a few days ago regarding the Christmas Day bomber ... who, where, even though the info was stale.

I suppose I just look at it from a strictly intelligence point of view.

Thank you for that point of view.

[HiTech RedNeck]

If Britain wants to make itself New Mecca that’s their funeral.

[mckenzie7]

We must believe everything that the lying muslims say?

It wouldn't be a bad idea to use their method of dealing with captured enemies....behead them.

I must admit that they bring out the worst in me!

[ltc8k6]

Apologize?

[dennisw]

This guy is money grubber. I fail to see significant UK involvement in his case. He is looking to extarct a big payment from the UK government.

This puke’s most serious allegations is getting his nuts sliced by a Moroccan torturer that the CIA flew him to via a “rendition” flight. That would be the only visible signs of torture and can be faked at any time after the fact. Claiming torture is standard operating procedure. Muslims are 1000x more likely than us to use torture that us. And I mean real torture like you see in movies....not water boarding and being subjected to loud music. Muslims did this in the Balkans and Chechnya

[Former Military Chick]

I was reading another book, that discussed how British leader’s years ago said this is where they were going, they were put down for that point of view.

I would say, they are probably laughing in their grave, the fact that the extremist want sharia law, that they protest the british military who have died for their country and Britain seem’s so slow to say “you live in Britain” live with it or leave it ...

[MediaMole]

I
don’t
give
a
damn.

The f-ing taliban and al qaeda have murdered every American they have captured. We give them a little crap and the world is on us. Wake me when the CIA saws off the head of a taliban fighter with a dull knife.
