C-span ^ | 13 May 2009

[SE Mom]

A Senate Judiciary Subcmte. looks into the legal conduct of Justice Dept. lawyers who approved harsh interrogation techniques.

One of the witnesses, fmr. FBI agent Ali Soufan, interrogated Guantanamo detainee Abu Zubaydah.

[Bahbah]

I don’t think I can take much more of this.

[SE Mom]

Feinstein says this will take months...going through millions of papers files, documents...and she wants it to be bipartisan.

It will involve reviewing much classified material.

Any bets on how long it will be before the leaks begin?

[NoDRodee]

I would think if the average American is watching this they would be sick

[tobyhill]

It's amazing how the Rats pretend they never knew a thing and the MSM eats it up while all along the Rats admit there's millions of documents which some of them were disclosed in their intelligence meetings dating back to 9/11.

[maica]

Any bets on who get to do the “reviewing”? A clone of Jamie Gorelick, or Greg Craig or Ben-Veniste or even Sandy Burglar?

[NoDRodee]

[dead]

Something got you down, Nancy?

[penelopesire]

At least until October 2010...(eye roll)

When will the next Fort Sumter be?

How much liberty and freedom will Obama and the Democratic Congress destroy before there is a response?

How many dutiful American patriots will be destroyed by Obama and the Democratic Congress before there is a response?

[NoDRodee]

Oh, Nancy looks so nice today.

[PghBaldy]

I will retract what I said as I read more about him... will wait and see if he joins the Obama andwagon or writes a book.

[Ulysse]

PING

[STARWISE]

Just the thought of it and potential release of ‘torture’ pictures .. each one a virtual nuclear bomb for recruitment to our enemies .. churns and roils my insides to the maxx.

Dear Lord, place Your protective arms and mercy around
our brave military.

see post #59

we must begin our stand NOW

[Pikachu_Dad]

Then don’t watch MS-NBC’s take on the hearing.

That will really get your blood boiling.

Made the mistake of going to eat at Burger King - and they had this horrible show playing. Some lady host who was completely obnoxious and rude.

[Always Independent]

I think this is bama’s move on pelosi to put his man in charge of the house.

Interesting- Ali Soufan was one of the FBI agents sent to investigate the USS Cole. We know how well that investigation went, don’t we? Evidently our political elite never wanted to deal with that, maybe because it was sponsored by a state they would rather ease relations with than make war on?

The other guy Soufan is on and around which there is considerable leftwing monokeybusiness is Zubaydah.

Zubaydah was all linked up with hezbollah...

[piasa]

The Zubaydah case is the same case over which CIA man Kiriakou was charged for leaking the names of CIA interrogators to a NY Times reporter who turned around and gave the information to Zubaydah’s defense attorneys. These treasonous bastards in turn hired investigators to use that information to get addresses and photographs of CIA employees and they used these photos to identify the interrogators by showing them to detainees in Gitmo. The photos of CIA employees ended up in the posession of the detainees. [I wonder if that Yee guy, the Chaplain, had acquired any of them because he was carrying material on the prison and the detainees and was going to take it to Syria, as I recall, when caught.]

Kiriakou’s wife was then asked to resign her job- which was an analyst at the CIA on guess which country? Iran.

[piasa]

An FBI agent named “Ali” comes out and writes a NYT op-ed against “torture.” Why do I not trust this guy?
