i can't believe the way the republics/media turn torture away from cheney and to pelosi
Edited on Thu May-14-09 04:01 PM by spanone
it's about pelosi now? unfuckingbelievable....

this is about what nancy pelosi knew and when?

what about what mr bu$h* - the president - knew and when?

what about the bu$h* administration actually having a torture policy?

what about dick cheney's adminssion that they waterboarded?

if pelosi knew then republicans knew too....

pelosi was the minority whip in congress at the time

3. Fortunately, Sir, This Line Of The Enemy Concedes The Fact Of The Crime Of Torture
It is not well calculated....

16. Ed Shultz is nailing this right now -
Who does Boehner not want an investigation.
Why is Lindsay Graham all over the TV? Steny Hoyer on now.

7. I think I'm one of Pelosi's biggest critics here at DU and I agree.

IT'S BULLSHIT



I'm also one of the group of DUers that has been following the torture case. Focusing on Pelosi WILL NOT get the criminal case going. It's a big fat distraction. We need to be running down the mechanisms available to us to hold Dick Cheney and his Merry Torturers accountable to the law of this land. We need not to fall for this distracting BS even if there is a grain of truth in their Big Lies. The Big Lie ALWAYS has a grain of truth, that's why they work so well.

10. Even if he is right, it just doesn't matter.
Edited on Thu May-14-09 04:19 PM by EFerrari
What matters is to bring Bush/Cheney before the law.

This is just more "but they did it, too" bs, a la Fox News.

14. I can easily believe it, sad to say. And isn't it interesting how no one's mouth
can form the words "independent counsel" or "special prosecutor" but only the Orwellian phrase "truth commission"?

15. Forget Pelosi; Prosecute Bush-Cheney Cabal.
We cannot let attention be diverted from the fact that Bush, Cheney and the top officials in their administration lied un into an illegal war of aggression (a war crime) and designed, implemented and got their lawyers to construct lawless rationales for torture.
They must be prosecuted and convicted or it will just happen again.
