Nov 18, 2008 - Independance day is almost here, and the country looks nothing like what the founding fathers envisioned. We are still fighting King George's tyranny.

Nov 18, 2008 - bitherwack -- that was EXACTLY what was on my mind, when i put together the above-37-second-long distillation of all that is immoral, lost and egregiously wrong-headed (to say nothing of completely at odds with applicable law!) about john yoo's advocacy, here (see above)!namaste
nolocontendre2007 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - ri-i-i-i-i-i-i-ght, BaNoyers -- feel free to throw your vote away.might i suggest that we need to choose -- recognizing that no one candidate is perfect -- but we must choose among those with at least a "colorable" shot of winning -- else we simply waste our franchise.what say you?
nolocontendre2007 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - actually, minionuup -- addington just politically THREATENED george bush -- he made it plain he (and cheney, too!) will take the position that bush authorized all this torture.ask yourself, minionuup, why didn't BUSH confer some form of "executive priviledge" upon addington? addington is plainly PEEVED that he didn't get the same "presidential hall pass" that bush gave harriet miers/bolton. why was that?that is what you republicans should be asking yourselves. will these guys burn bush?
kalhas22 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - LOL!!! This is hilarious Addington and Yoo are clearly avoiding the questions from Conyers. Good for Conyers, any torture should never be used against any P.O.W. or (terror) suspect.
BaNoyes Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - a mind set, if all voted for a third party thats who would win but,you choose one of the major partys,,,the ones who caused the problem in the first place...and you say to keep on doing it... I say break the chain...never vote for a major party liar again,,,you KNOW they are liars AND TRAITORS,,yet you want to do it again...how many times can you be fooled... a lot it looks like

Nov 18, 2008 - this is fucking brutal lol... yoo just shit all over himself lol
bitherwack Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Good going Mr Conyers! It must have been very frustrating. Nancy Pelosi needs to consider contempt proceedings on Rove, and impeachment proceedings on Bush/Cheney. Impeachment is an essential check on the Executive branch to assure balance. It is authorized by the Constitution. It is REQUIRED to be used in event of an abusive president. It is the only check on a tyrant, and if it isnt on the table the Legislative branch is not doing its Constitutional duty.Demand Executive accountability

Nov 18, 2008 - Get a fucking rope! My God!!
niwdah Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - If they made torture illegal, doesn't that outlaw this video? I hope so. It's obvious that Conyers learned how to argue from my mother. Snakes or not, God bless the men who had to withstand that. It's like arguing with the IRS; guilty until proven innocent, and while they're at it they'll just go ahead and decide that you're guilty anyway, just like mom used to do when she found that broken vase! Hello! It could have been the dog! They may be guilty, but let's have a proper trial for God's sake.
ComeLeVent Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - See, conyers said 'we've all practised law', and that's what this was about; to evade the question through empty talk. His intrusive interrogation is justified by yoo's not answering precise questions, because it would reveal a lot about the president's powers. As conyers said, they're playing a game there. If you understand that, you understand this video: Conyers simply responds accordingly to yoo's behaviour. Committees & courts are put there to play such games. Forget 'proper trial'.
UnconcernedCitizen Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Pelosi is a stuffing her bra with corporate money. (And she must be stuffing it with change because she looks like she is sagging.)
attie3 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - this is attie pollard and in 2012 i am running for Congress if Conyers is there i well bet him
Fixhist Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - June 30th, International Day for "Victim of Torture"We believe people in GTMO may not be being undergoing ant physical torture.But emotional torture due to uncertainty of their time left,put together alongwith the time they have already served,makes a very strong moral case for release of GTMO inmates All GTMO inmates (Other than KSM cabal)be released in protective custody of the councilate of the respective Governments, alongwith one way ticket/expenditure to home :)
