Since I know that (a.) nobody here cares and, (b.) everybody here is unbiased, I thought I'd try to ask an unbiased question about the torture goings-on.
So the Pelosi news conference. The Republican charge is that Pelosi and other Dems were briefed in 2002 about waterboarding and knew it was in use, but made no attempt to protest. The Democrat retort is that they were lied to by the CIA and didn't know. So this leaves a few options: (1.) The "interrogation program", whatever it was, was known and approved end-to-end by both branches of government (excl judicial). (2.) The program was known to the CIA and other intelligence who lied to both branches of government. (3.) The program was known by some in intelligence and some in government who lied about it to the others. (4.) The program was known by the President and intelligence who lied to others. Given what we already know, we can eliminate #2 and #4. And we already know waterboarding is illegal at a minimum internationally. So it seems the only thing left is: (a.) Did congress know or not (we know the administration did). (b.) How illegal is it and who should be prosecuted? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
