"Torture trail seen starting with Bush" by Jason Leopold (12-15-08 OnlineJournal)

"A bipartisan congressional report traces the U.S. abuse of detainees at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib to President George W. Bush's Feb. 7, 2002, action memorandum that excluded 'war on terror' suspects from Geneva Convention protections."

1. Leopold is still at it?

I thought we'd seen the last of this disgraced "journalist"

3. As opposed to what?

the entire televised news gaggle, and most print media? You think one Rovian mis-step is more relevant than years of diluted 'news', and blatant propaganda?

4. Many journalists have been "discredited" and even murdered

for refusing to give up their work regardless of all else-I personally feel that much of that applies to Jason Leopold--that's why I post many of his articles and why they aren't locked.

Unless you're being "coy" damkira...

5. Are they wasting time and $ with these reports or do they intend

to do something other than make wallpaper?

The Dec. 11 report also disputed the Bush administration’s rationale that the harsh interrogation methods were effective in extracting valuable intelligence and protecting the country from terrorist attacks.

Instead, the report said, “Those efforts damaged our ability to collect accurate intelligence that could save lives, strengthened the hand of our enemies, and compromised our moral authority.”

Treason?

6. As you may know by now, I'm for the prosecution of Bush/Cheney criminals by Obama's administration.
