How can the "enemy" adjust to waterboarding? Grow gills?
I just listened to blivet's** interview with Lauer and he repeated that phrase several times. When he said it concerning Lauer's question about waterboarding, I couldn't help but think just how disjoined and meaningless that answer was to that question. (I know, all his anwers are) Just what does he mean by "We don't want the enemy to adjust"?

How the hell could they adjust to the practice of waterboarding? WTF does that even mean?

2. If they find out what we do to our prisoners
they will hate us more. Oh wait, I don't think that is possible.

15. My friend was part of a peace delegation to Jordan ..
re the Lebannon crisis ... along with Tom Hayden.

The answer: THEY (the Iraqi people KNOW what this Administraitons operatives have done). That is why there is SO much animosity towards American troops over there!

As I listened to her story (my friend's report), I weeped.

3. IT means that he will not discuss anything that might be used against him
in a court of law. Their day is coming and they are very afraid.

10. Bush pulled it out of his a$$. He doesn't want YOU to know about torture.
If YOU don't know, YOU can't stop it.

11. That's exactly what I was thinking...
B*sh uses the Murdoch method of discussion... Talk fast, be confrontational and don't allow for responses or further questions.

12. Was too shocked after hearing Lauer ask the question to

pontificate on his non-answer.

Until now. He acted like mentioning the 'techiniques' would somewhow lose the war. They know the techniques, we know them, my Grandma knows them.

Just think of all the ways you can torture someone.

Which one lasted the record of 2 1/2 minutes? I forget. He should go on Fear Factor.

13. It's Bushese for pleading the fifth
Bushese is branch of the Orwellian language family.

In Bush's Orwellian way, "because it would allow them to adjust" means "on the grounds that the answer may tend to incriminate me."

See, it works this way: "I refuse answer any questions about specific techniques because we don't want the terrorist to adjust on the grounds that it may tend to incriminate me."

You just have to learn how to speak Bushese.

14. ROFL!!!
I think I need a reference the size of the Encyclopedia Britanica (with the extra add on/update books) to keep track of just what this idiot is really saying.
