Reminds me of the Republican,Ed Herman, who was run for Congress against Kucinich last time.He was an interrogator in Afghanistan.Saw him on a local crap talk show tell the host that 'believe it or not the setting for the interrogations in Afghanistan was just like you and me sitting here doing this interview'.Kucinich only got 58% of the vote.
