“It is not the policy of this agency to mislead the United States Congress,” responded CIA spokesman George Little, although he refused to answer directly when asked whether Pelosi’s accusation was accurate.

I think it's important to remember that the CIA is in the business of deception. It may be…

If you look at the new article "Pelosi draws CIA response, Republican criticism" it seems to give the impression that the CIA did indeed talk about the tatics such as water boarding that were actively being using on the suspects, not just discussing them as she alleges.

It seems to…

So if I [sic] enemies can behead our troops and blow up innocents, then we should surely be able to dunk one or two of them in water and make sure that they don't drown.

Of course we are able to. No law is ever going to divest us of…

You don't need to step back from partisan politics to know that waterboarding is wrong for America. It makes no difference who the subjects of the waterboarding are. The argument that it does make a difference applies with equal force to fingernail extraction, genital electrocution, branding or insertions of hot…

If Obama would stop to think, the mind that the photos have influenced is his own.

I believe that the military is worried less about the effect of the photos on the Muslim world--whose hearts and minds we are not exactly winning over at present--than about the effect on Americans…

She never should have been imprisoned in the first place.

She shouldn't have been arrested in the first place.

These statements may have a basis in fact, but I doubt that the facts are known to their authors. Americans have lived through 8 years of an administration that claims the…

Cheney was a friend to the military....

I should hope so. He owes the military a tremendous debt for its role in protecting Halliburton investments. However, a true friend to military personnel would not send them out on ill-defined missions nor have them fight unwinnable wars.

Tough talk is fine…

SuperLib,

I agree that some of the criticism of Cheney and Limbaugh is over the top. However, it would be nice if you could level your even-handedness at some of the equally outrageous statements by Cheney/Limbaugh supporters.

It seems to me to be fairly obvious why Cheney and Limbaugh attract…

Noted: the architect of the Bush administration would rather follow an arch-conservative buffoon than entrust the Republican party to a moderate who has spent his life in the service of his country.
