11. did Karen Hughes write this dreck of a speech?
Edited on Wed Sep-06-06 12:53 PM by Generic Other
terrorists still active trying to strike America and kill our people...one reason they have not attacked due to government...another reason because government has changed policies giving tools to fight terrorists, preserve freedom...terrorists wear no uniforms...operate in shadows of society...conspire in secret...strike without warning...important to understand kind of people held at Guantanamo...suspected bombmakers, terrorist trainers, potential suicide bombers...

He's freakin' whining because he can't pre-emptively torture prisoners.

15. "...only torture will reveal it" ... He really said that???
Interrogation experts disagree.

I guess Bush doesn't have to listen to experts and can just ignore science and facts. After all, he is the dictator.

probably because of today's supreme court rulings calling for geneva convention rights, he wants looser torture laws

43. No information that September 11th was coming?
Calendars are apparently verboten in the White House.

Or was he saying that there was no warning, you know, like a PDB saying something like "Bin Laden determined to strike in the United States." No information at all. It's not like Al Qaeda gave out the names and addresses of the guys involved, or notified Bush personally of the flight numbers (at least so far as we know). That kind of work is too hard, evidently.

25. Torture is an American value
Using torture allowed CIA to save "innocent lives by stopping new attacks detainees might have launched."

Zubaydah a terrorist who was wounded severely and we saved him. The ingrate hated us for it. He revealed Sheik Mohammed's nickname during interrogation. Pumped for further info, but he stopped talking. Resisted interrogation so CIA used alternative procedures to get info from him. Lawful said DOJ. Can't describe the procedures or the terrorists will learn to resist...

49. Torturing war criminals gets us vital information
How dare anyone act like it's bad?

Nearly every detained senior member of Al Q interrogated by CIA BEFORE they killed.

Connect the dots and stop attacks before they occur.

Program the most vital tool to war on terror.

Torture saves lives.

Torture complies with laws.

CIA leader has oversight of torure program.

High level leaders on Capital Hill briefed on torture program.

250 hours of torture training before torturers allowd access to prisoners.

US does not "torture" anyone but our enemies and those who might become our enemies.

73. New Army Field Manual to be released today?
To allow additional torture techniques to be developed at Gitmo?

Only 770 prisoners ever held at Gitmo. Treated as well as the Army soldiers guarding them. A model prison!

We will torture anyone we want...will continue to operate as we have...CIA will continue to interrogate new prisoners.

Forced to disclose info so we can try them. Also Supreme Court dared rule in favor of Geneva Convention, siding with terrorists. Judges interpreting law have endangered US torturers by refusing to defend their actions when they are in danger of being accused of war crimes under international law...Congress needs to list what torture will be allowed...

89. "THE TORTURE SPEECH"
Unbelievable.
The talking heads on MSGOP are talking quite calmly about Bush's performance. Nothing to see here, move along; but be very, very afraid. And remember that George Bush will save you and the Democrats will let the terra-ists win.

Torture, after all, IS the new American Idol. Wonder when the fashion mags will start reflecting this new American ideal?

94. and this, my friends is how we go down that slippery slope
if the Patriot Act gives this administration leeway in who is tagged as a terrorist or terrorist sympathizer, we go down a slippery slope--very, very Hitleresque. As Hitler labeled who the enemies of the state were, so can this administration. One day it's those Islamo-fascists, then homosexuals, then liberals, then those libertarians, then anyone, absolutely anyone who doesn't agree with their policies--including repugs. They're setting the stage for acquiring more power, more secrecy--going against the rule of law-against the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, against the Geneva Convention. If another attack hits this country, we may see full power grab, martial law-they've been breaking down every safeguard our country has against totalitarianism--* is becoming scarier in his speeches. These last two have shades of fascism interlaced with fear and bullying.
