McCain is trying to screw things up again.

>> McCain is trying to screw things up again.<<

I wonder if before he croaks there’s a way to get him waterboarded?

[Albion Wilde]

I have banned my comment to save the mods the trouble.

[EinNYC]

McCain, shut up and die. Your comments do not help the American people, but are those of a bitter old man who needs to go.

Perhaps McCain is reminded of the fact that the torture he endured in the Hanoi Hilton made him talk to the enemy. Torture should depend on who is doing the torturing and who is being tortured. If the tortured is a terrorists, then there are answers that need to be given. If the torturer is a good guy trying to get answers that can keep your nation safe, then they are a determined questioner. It’s that simple. Obviously, McCain’s thinking has been poisoned by his own experience—and maybe his own guilt.

McCain said in a statement..."

When was the last time he made his own statement in public before the cameras?

[knarf]

"The torture of detainees in U.S. custody during the last decade was one of the darkest chapters in American history," McCain said. "Ms. Haspel needs to explain the nature and extent of her involvement in the CIA's interrogation program during the confirmation process."

DIDN'T HE JUST STATE SHE WAS INVOLVED ?

So .... YOU explain it, Juan.

[poinq]

McCain has people that do the complaining in McCain’s name. His office have a bunch of swamp monsters who protect the defense portion of the swamp.

[Albion Wilde]

You're known the company you keep, Juan.

[EarlyBird]

Is it just my imagination or do I remember a Trump campaign promise to bring back enhanced interrogation techniques?

If my aging memory is wrong, please correct me. If not, could this elevation of the CIA woman be a signal that Trump is fulfilling yet another of his promises?

1. It was NOT torture as defined by US Code at the time.

2. The Geneva Conventions do not apply to non-state actors involved in mass murder, per the commentary on Common Article III.

Funny how the International Red Cross took down the commentary on Common Article III soon after I was making the case that Islamic terrorists have zero protection under the GC, which former president Barkey's Executive Order is based on, which translates into USG policy.

I thought he was dead already.....

Translation: She knows what really went on and she is coming after ME!

[proust]

Darkest chapter, is he talking about the Keating five scandal where taxpayers took it in the shorts?

[shotgun]

I’m just here for the McStain bashing...

[Red Badger]

Then she MUST BE SUPERB!.................

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Johnny u have your own issues on the deck of the Forrestal so shut up, resign spend your remaining time with Cindy and Mehghan an go away please!

[Polyxene]

No way McQueeg is lucid enough to make statements with a GBM brain tumor growing in his brain. This is coming from one of his anti-Trump mouthpieces.

[MichaelCorleone]

McSwamp is mighty lucky Trump didn’t go public with his REAL record in the military.

I wish someone would publicly set the record straight. McCain is no hero.

[MAGA2017]

Shut up and go away, McCain.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Even if McLame's claim were true (which I doubt), do we torture a muslim and stop another 9-11, or do we play according to Hoyle and see Americans killed?

It's not even a no brainer. When it comes to "us" or "them", I choose "us". Always.
