As Suspected, Bush Adminstration At HIGHEST LEVELS Knew About, Condoned Torture

Well, well, well....seems at long last that the smoking gun has appeared, and as I have always suspected, the Bush White House at the highest levels were involved with, knew about, and condoned the torture of Al Quida suspects! Yet another set of lies fed to the American Public through the Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfield propaganda machine. The most corrupt administration in the history of the United States seems to get worse with each passing day. George W. Bush need not worry about his legacy...he will go down as the most deplorable, ignorant, dispicable president to have ever held the oval office...don't be surprised to see Laura Bush seek a divorce shortly after the couple packs up and leaves the White House.

Bush aides tied to talks on CIA interrogations

WASHINGTON: Senior White House officials played a central role in deliberations in the spring of 2002 about whether the Central Intelligence Agency could legally use harsh interrogation techniques while questioning an operative of Al Qaeda, Abu Zubaydah, according to newly released documents.

In meetings during that period, the officials debated specific interrogation methods that the CIA had proposed to use on Qaeda operatives held at secret prisons overseas, the documents show.

The meetings were led by Condoleezza Rice, then the national security adviser, and attended by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Attorney General John Ashcroft and other top administration officials.

The documents provide new details about the still-murky early months of the CIA's detention program, when the agency began using a set of harsh interrogation techniques weeks before the Justice Department issued a written legal opinion in August 2002 authorizing their use. Congressional investigators have long tried to determine exactly who authorized these techniques before the legal opinion was completed.

Is So Called Victory In Iraq Worth Destroying America Over?

To listen to John McCain, we are winning in Iraq...SO WHAT? At what cost to America and its citizens back home? We are caught in a MEAT GRINDER in the Middle East. We are bringing our troops from the surge home...for what? To send them over to Afghanistan to die fighting on a different front in the same failed war while things heat back up in Iraq? We were winning the war in Afghanistan, then we took our eyes off the ball and sent our fine fighting troops into Iraq where over 4,000 soldiers have died, and tens of thousands more have been maimed for life. We are being told the surge is working, and that we are reducing the number of troops in Iraq, bringing them home, but they are NOT STAYING HOME. Further, lets not forget the price tag just in REAL TIME DOLLARS...the actual cost of the war including retooling, and the medical, disability costs over the next 20 years runs well over $10 trillion dollars, and is growing each day as we finance the war on credit.

Bring the troops home, put them on our Southern Border with Mexico, use them to forciably deport those here illegally. It's time we start rebuilding our own nation, restoring our nation to its former glory, rather than wasting our wealth and our honor in the desert sands of an unappreciative nation in the Middle East.
