The other right-wing media mogul you should worry about
Palin's book and Obama's bow: a media week to forget

Torture doesn't provide any useful information, the only information you get is whatever you want to hear.
With so many American's in harms way in foreign countries, what roadmap are we giving these countries with our own policies on torture as a guide.
To be a respected world leader, you can't be seen as a torturous nation. Our national security was weakened by the policies of the past 8 years
Let's get this straight, we are publicizing the special prosecutor to see if we need a special prosecutor? Gee, what next, a special prosecutor to check on the special prosecutor's investigation of the need for a special investigation? How about an investigation on the decision to NOT show the Abu Grab photos?
This is not about raising our stature in the nations of the world. They, like leftists in this country have already decided they hate this country, no matter what is done. This is about giving the president cover for his leftist base. Otherwise, he should just show the pictures from Abu Grab, but he backed down from that one didn't he? Maybe Murtha can call them all out as cold blooded murders again and the would make the nut left smile again! :)
Hope they made them look at cartoons of the great prophet too.
I guess the rule of law ends at the U.S. border.
And again, who and where were these Hessians? Ok, let's have an investigation to investigate the need for an investigation!
Your questions prove there will be no educating you on the serious issue of torture in our nation's name.
If he really wanted the muslim world's attention, a few smart bombs placed in the middle of that despicable celebration in Libya would have been appropriate. Gee did they care about their reputation in the world?
And what if you knew some? Would our acceptance of this heinous celebration or our need to be kind to muslim murdering criminals outweigh our need to protect our citizens, soldiers or country? We know where leftists stand..
So, no, I didn't just throw around meaningless numbers. I provided you with a fact, which to no surprise you mocked. Because facts, as you know, do have a liberal bias.
I went there today, loved the german national anthem song playing in the background while pictures of goosestepping danced across the screen!
Giving people a choice, via a voucher, would be much better than nationalizing (like the nazis) healthcare.
So where are those names of the wretched poor and numbers coming from? Oh please, oh please, oh Pleeeeease let me know!!
As you well know, since you can't cite any facts to support your case, there is no plan to nationalize health care.
Why should we take any of your posts seriously?
Now imagine yourself sitting next to a guy whispering 'allah akba' on a plane..... I guess you would be more afraid if he were saying, obama is a socialist!
What this shows is that we'll be sorry be for just showing or talking about cartooning the great prophet and care less about how they treat the murders of innocents. They only care about torture when they think it will stop us from trying to stop them.
So when they start condemning that horrendous display of hatred in Libya, in which the attendees shouted allah akbar or whatever, I'll believe that they are a religion of peace, thank you
Why continue to threaten the people working for the CIA that did a tough job, within the legal constraints at the time, in order to protect our country? Why announce an investigation to see if we need an investigation? Pure political pap. If it was true, they would not need an investigation to see if we needed an investigation.
Torture is torture. It's illegal. And the legal "constraints" were some memos written by misguided lawyers in an attempt to cover their collective a**.
Are you against the outing of covert CIA agents? What should be the punishment for outing a covert CIA agent?
Sorry, but torture is legally, in the eye of the beholder. When someone considers themselves to be acting within legal boundaries and monitored, they can't be charged. If they go beyond the law, say they do it the Chicago way, then they are indeed committing torture.
Those memos, provided the guide they followed.
But again, will this report ever see the light of day? Nah, unless the president has to fight for leftist support and then it will only remind the haters of America here and abroad, that yes, we are the cause of all evile in the world.
No. It would remind everyone else that we are a nation of rules and that we are willing to admit to mistakes. Those people who hate "us" will hate us no matter what.
The world doesn't care so they see this as what it is, a ploy to satisfy the lefties here in the states.

What was it proudneoKKKon said above?
Hm, where have I heard that BS before?
Oh, yeah, here:
And here,
or is this the high faluting debate you'all were talkin about
Oh do tell?!?
Hmmmmmmm..........
"The world doesn't care so they see this as what it is, a ploy to satisfy the lefties here in the states."
"Now, if they had only waterboarded.....what a wonderful world it would be! "
"a few smart bombs placed in the middle of that despicable celebration in Libya would have been appropriate."
"doofus!"
"it will only remind the haters of America here and abroad, that yes, we are the cause of all evile in the world."
"our need to be kind to muslim murdering criminals outweigh our need to protect our citizens"
"Maybe Murtha can call them all out as cold blooded murders again and the would make the nut left smile again!"
"leftists in this country have already decided they hate this country, no matter what is done."
"much better than nationalizing (like the nazis) healthcare."
Doncha just LOOOVE "compassionate conservatism"?
And, as adamant as proudneoKKKon here seems to be for some type of action, I'm certain he/she will be the FIRST to sign up and JOIN his country's armed forces, not be just another member of the 101st Fighting Keyboard brigade.
Am I right?
At most they'll find that more investigations are needed as his popularity wanes and hope for obamacare goes down the crapper.
And don't try and make this more of the left's dodge claiming this is about race. The man is a socialist wanting to change a great country into a socialist nation. That's what I stand against, not his color.

Now where did you put that tin hat of yours?
What do the insurance companies bring to the table in regards to health care?
Riiight, Limpy.
And, barbecuing and brush clearing when warned of a terrorist attack -- then reading fiction to school children during said attack was . . . ??
