Mitch McConnell is lying out his ass
Does anyone actually believe that Republicans will hold hearings on abuses at Gitmo?

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/06/05/amnesty.detainee/

A high-ranking Republican senator said Sunday that hearings on abuse allegations at Guantanamo Bay might be appropriate, and a top Democratic senator suggested closing down the prison.

"Look, it's very difficult to run a perfect prison," Majority Whip Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said on CNN's "Late Edition."

"But we have an open country. We have hearings on a whole lot of different subjects. We might well have hearings on this."

1. Look, quaoar. You are just completely correct on this.
Strengths differ.

McConnell's virtuoso skill: lying through his teeth. He's an eel.

6. Yes, McConnell is a liar. That's why he's
the No. 2 man in the Republican leadership in the Senate, and lying ass Ricky Santorum is the No. 3 man.

7. Does anyone actually believe that Republicans will hold hearings on abuses
only for the purpose of spinning it to their advantage...

"gee, we had investigations and found nothing. It's time to move forward and put this all behind us...."

just amazes me how much "sh!t" has been left behind
