1. I get the feeling that the Army brass is really getting sick of Rumsfeld
Edited on Thu Sep-09-04 03:06 PM by Zuni
This is very damaging to Rumsfeld/Bush. The article really makes it seem like they were very eager to spill the beans about this one.

I have been hearing a lot about conflict between Rumsfeld and the command.

3. An "honorable nation" waging and "honorable war?"
Surely, we delude ourselves.

5. The Geneva Convention is Old Europe.
The first Geneva Convention was inspired by the founder of the Red Cross.

Godless Communism.

7. Wouldn't it be an awakening if FINALLY someone broke through the barrier
the Bush regime has erected, and did some desperately needed housecleaning?

Can you BEGIN to imagine what possessed them to claim they'd need to sterilize the White House before it was fit to live in, after the Clintons left?

Good lord. Why is it they only Presidents we've had who were directly involved with filthy human rights violations were Republican, after all?

Take time to rate the story:
Its current average rating is 2.95 with 516 vote(s) at 3:18 a.m., EST.

8. Neo Fascists control Amerika.
Rumsfailed Admitted to Violating Geneva Convention

Rumsfailed admitted in public that when CIA Director Tenet requested that an Irai prisoner be sent to a secret Afghan/US Prison that Rumsfailed did so. After four months a DOD Attorney stated that this was an illegal act. Rumsfailed then ordered that this prisoner be sent back to Abu Graib but the prisoner was not listed at that location, also an illegal act. That is two violations of the Geneva Convention by Rumsfailed. Tenet and Rumsfailed violated the Geneva convention, thereby also The Constitution of the USA. The fact that he has not been charged speaks volumes.

Does the US no longer follow the Geneva Convention or the Constitution of the USA?

It appears so.

9. The US no longer exists. We may be able to restore it, but it simply
is no longer here.

Imperial Amerika is a wholly different nation, a nation transitioning from good to evil, from liberty to tyranny.

11. WE gave the U.N. the bird, we gave the World the bird

13. Sen Levin
questioned J. Schlessinger on this very topic referring to Rumsfailed.

Schlessinger was real quiet and said that it should be investigated.

Hey, WTF? Rumsfailed publicly admitted this. I heard him do so on TV.

It's all a WhiteWash. Yea, I believe that we no longer have a Representative Republic. I describe it as a Neo Fascist Regime. If the Neo Fascists retain power Amerika will be a Neo Fascist Police State.
