1. Poor little Hasselcrack

Didn't get the answer she wanted.

2. She did during one of those debates too.

Russert was the moderator. He proposed a situation where torture might be justified: one guy knows where the bomb is. She stated that as a matter of policy, she was against torture. Russert said that the person who proposed the hypothetical as being a justifiable instance was Bill Clinton. She held her ground and said Bill was not standing at the podium and that she would have a talk with him when she got home.

3. Under the video, it said that she voted yes for the...

military commissions act, which suspended habeas corpus, is that true or were they just asking? From what I found she voted no but then I found this and I don't know if it is true?

Hillary Clinton has failed to cosponsor S. 576, a bill proposed in the Senate to repeal many of the most onerous features of the Military Commissions Act. If passed, some of its main acts would be to:

* Restore the right of habeas corpus for people detained by the U.S.
* Narrow the definition of the MCA term “unlawful enemy combatant” to individuals who directly participate in attacks against the United States.
* Let United States detainees invoke the ethical codes of the Geneva Conventions again.
* Let U.S. detainees obtain a civilian lawyer for their defense.
* Prohibit the use of evidence garnered through torture.
* Prohibit the use of hearsay, upon the judge’s discretion.
* Let juries know how statements were obtained from detainees.
* Permit federal appeals courts to review the decisions of military commissions.

4. Very nice, it's not who we are and it doesn't work, anyway

Now, let's make sure her votes agree with that.

Someone needs to ask her if she'd end that appalling rendition policy. Her husband failed to do so, one of the many lapses of his administration.
