54. This is Leahy's e-mail address.
Edited on Tue Jun-08-04 10:21 AM by jdjkkse
@senator_leahy@leahy.senate.gov

For some reason this is the only way I could get it to post as a hot link.

If it comes back go to http://www.senate.gov to and click on the link for Leahy or Vermont.

edit: someone posted a link to the contact form below, it is:

109. Whoa!!! Biden just told him he's in contempt of Congress!
God, everyone needs to watch this.

I don't know what documents Ashcroft won't turn over, does anyone know.

Biden is giving him hell, said Janet Reno came before them 22 times and KKK only 3 times, said "We miss you, John."


We need to thank Biden, too.

senator@biden.senate.gov

Holy crap!!! Biden just said these treaties are so that if his son is captured by the enemy "HE IS NOT TORTURED".

You can just imagine him thinking,"Yep, did it all for my buddy God."
Scary looking dude, that Ashcroft. MKJ

16. yea, talk about taking somebody to the woodshed BUT on national tv!
go Sen. Leahy -- checks and balances indeed! He even quotes Reagan's famous line about IranContra (my heart says ... but the facts say otherwise and I take responsibility) ...

A$$croft (with impunity STILL) claims not to have time to respond to Leahy's charges ... and plows right on to another sanctification statement related to Reagan ... the look on Leahy's face: PRICELESS!

25. "President Bush himself disavowed your actions."
God I have waited along time for someone to see AshKKKroft excorciated this way.

We all need to write Patrick Leahy and thank him for all that he just said. God I needed this.

Now the grand dragon is going on about "the war on terra". Wow, he's forecasting doom again. This admin is so stupid, if they drum up another terra-ist attack they will lose by an even greater margin, since that will be two attacks they failed to prevent. DAMN he just said it again, al quaeda planning to hit in summer or fall. How could anyone have confidence in this admin's ability to stop an attack? Look at the one they missed.

This is priceless, he's defending a six-year old's "right" to wear a hijab, as if she has the power and authority to make a choice. What he is really defending is her parents' sovereignty to impose their religion upon her. Wonder what spin doctor thought this would be a good argument. Just when I think I have seen how sick this man is he gets sicker.

Then he said she couldn't vote if under the Taliban, but she might be whipped. He's so out of touch he doesn't understand she could already have had FGM, and that Taliban regularly executed women, if she were not killed by her own family. He's so stupid he doesn't realize how stupid he is.

34. Did it right now before I forget. My message:
THANKS! THANKS! for your statements at the Justice Department and Terrorism Oversight session today.

Your dignified statement of solidarity with and respect for Mrs. Reagan was a class act. All the mawkish, self-serving adoration of Ronald Reagan is making the nation even more cynical about our government and its leaders.

I have just watched the beginning of this session, but your list of issues that SHOULD be discussed was excellent.

Again, please receive my gratitude and appreciation for your honesty and care for our country.

at him so I minimized my C-Span window. But his voice is enough. He did not need to spend $8,000 to cover the statue's boob: nobody would wish tolook at him... Duh... now I know why he covered the boob.

46. One question from Leahy:
Has there been any directive from the president regarding the use of torture?
Ashcroft: First.."won't answer"
Then: "it would not be appropriate" (when asked if he didn't know or if he was refusing)
Finally: "No order from the president that was ILLEGAL per current treaties"

76. My gag reflex is in high gear
Ashcroft's favorite word used several time as he explains that he is using the WAR as a reason to keep this memo and others secret, since investigating the legal ramifications of that WAR during the prosecution of said WAR, is "bad government". Soooo, we (GWB's posse) can do anything because we are at WAR. Think I'm going to do word count on that particular three letter word. MKJ

66. Croft assless saying that Bush*'s statement did not DIRECTLY
influence or provided bases for the activity.
The word DIRECTLY is the key here.

and that the President does have the power to change the laws unilaterally. I can only hope his testimony today will be used in the trials of all of them, bush, cheney, ashcroft, etc.

It's just the Privates and Corporals!

In the face of all evidence to the contrary, this adminstration rejects discussion of memos that suggest that the President has the legal right to prosecute the war on terror by using terror/torture as a tool to protect the United States and its citizens since September 11, 2001.

149. Hmm, the definition of the United States is complex
So, we still have to define the "United States", before we can address the international laws. "United States" is a technical definition as provided by the (blame em, again)US congress. WHINE, WHINE, WHINE. MKJ

150. Ashcroft outright lied about the Geneva Conventions re
High Contracting Parties! The Geneva Conventions also covers those who have NOT signed onto the treaty. Here is the relevant clause:

Although one of the Powers in conflict may not be a party to the present Convention, the Powers who are parties thereto shall remain bound by it in their mutual relations. They shall furthermore be bound by the Convention in relation to the said Power, if the latter accepts and applies the provisions thereof.

Link to Geneva Conventions:
