LIVE DISCUSSION THREAD..Gen Taguba testifying before Senate committee..C-span 1 and Fox

[ken5050]

Comments...and your opinion..Which Dem wull say the dumbest thing today?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

That's all over the place. I think it's 17 Senators who were sent letters in January. Mostly Democrats for some reason.

[CatoRenasci]

I expect her to appear on Larry King ASAP with a civilian lawyer in tow. Bet on it.

She was already on Fox -- Greta van Snowjob IIRC -- with civilian lawyer in tow protesting her innocence and that she's a scapegoat. At least that's not as offensive as the website someone here on FR directed us to which talks about both Karpinski and Franks as Jews....

[windchime]

Please see #392. I'll copy you, too.

[cyncooper]

And listen to him. Smith just corrected Reed that Miller did not bring coercive methods over to Iraq from Gitmo.

The dems are twisting themselves into pretzels to make this authorized treatment of these prisoners.

Today's hearing has made it crystal clear that it was not and this was in fact a rogue band of bad guys.

Reed mispronounces Taguba's name. I think Reed is severely rattled at the inability to tag this on higher ups.

Cambone correcting Reed's assertion that this was authorized treatment of prisoners.

[arasina]

He actually asked that the solicitations be made part of the record? Bravo, hurray and yippee!

[Pukin Dog]

Friends in the Pentagon tell me that Karpinski is going to get both barrels. She is up for Court Martial, and her media statements are going to be used against her to define dereliction of duty.

[mombonn]

Did it again, finally addressed the fact that he was slaughtering the name, and apologized.

Don't these guys listen during the testimony???? It's been pronounced repeatedly today, and for the last several.

[maryz]

Mostly Democrats for some reason

I read (on FR) that the uncle said on TV they thought they'd get a more sympathetic hearing from Dems. (Touching, what?)

[MEG33]

Jack Reed..I had to hit mute again,Gag

[mtbopfuyn]

Where did you hear that?!

There's several threads but what's sad is the ones howling so loudly now are the very ones who dismissed the report because it was longer than "See Spot Run" so couldn't be bothered with it.

[OESY]

Reed wants to make this into another Iran-contra. The 911 Panel didn't become a useful political tool since it lost credibility, turned up the Gorelick Wall, and extended back into the Clinton administration.

[kcvl]

Good!

[Darlin']

Wow. Take No Prisoners Kate.

[Notasoccermom]

Reed keeps cutting them off when he is losing points!

[ken5050]

She deserves all of it, and more, for no other reaosn than than the shameless way she bailed out on the troops in her command...

[Freedom2specul8]

I wonder if they were told to just SIT on them or what?

[cyncooper]

Reed is angry and keeps making false assertions.

Facts be damned.

Fox interrupts! I went to MSNBC

(second Fox interruption to inform us Saddam will be turned over to the Iraqis before the June 30 date)

[maryz]

The dems are twisting themselves into pretzels to make this authorized treatment of these prisoners.

You ain't kiddin'. Whole chunks of this would be like Groundhog Day. I keeping thinking, "Didn't I hear this before?"

[Freedom2specul8]

I don't know a lot about him yet...but if this is the kind of guy he is all the time....he definitely deserves some kind of promotion.

[ken5050]

Reid..the soldiers in a war zone, should read all of the piels of memos they get, yet 17 senators can't be bothered to repsond to emails reporting the abuses..
