Is it possible that they may all be self-serving lying bastards?

This is not only petty politics, it’s embarrassing. Congress members should not be investigated anymore than the lawyers giving legal opinions on the law’s interpretation should. This type of childish behavior is moronic, and does nothing to elevate the GOP in my eyes as having “backbone”. Horse manure.

Congress needs a serious cleaning of “house” and senate… all these bozos need to go, and replaced with new bozos who can’t stay long enough to be so damaging and corrupt. IMHO, haven’t seen any one of ‘em worth a snip.

David Craig.. “evil-doers”? Another sound byte educated brain trust weighs in on colonialist issues from across the pond. Oh goodie…

We waterboard tens of thousands of our own soldiers, but it’s “evil” and “torture” when it’s done to three terrorists with known connections to designated terror groups.

“merely stood by”??? This would mean, of course, that you would consider a group of citizens on a street, casually watching a murder, rape or other crime being committed, as innocent bystanders. Rather nailed yourself as morally depraved voyeur, and possessing a cavalier attitude towards stepping up to the plate to help your fellow man, don’t you think?

Look, it’s as simple as this… if waterboarding is “torture”, then the US is guilty of “torturing” our own soldiers during training, and there will be a lot of investigations and discipline going on.

If it’s a prosecutable offense to give a legal opinion as counsel, then all of Congress needs to be prosecuted for daring to create legislation without first asking the SCOTUS for a prior opinion – putting their High Court stamp of approval on each and every bill as Constitutional before they put it to a vote.

And if standing by, not lifting a finger to stop a crime, is nothing more than innocent rubber necking, I’m pretty sure the social graces and humanity has hit yet another low from which they will not recover.

Pathetic? You betcha… but mostly when applied to you. Why don’t you just go lobby to keep your expense pilfering, nanny blacklist Jacqui Smith in office instead of bothering us with nonsense.

Seriously, who’d ya mean? Could it be you just want a certain someone indicted for something/anything and you’ll find the excuse for it because you don’t like their swagger and accent?

MOVEON. Bush is gone. Obama’s the one w Gitmo and secret CIA prisons still open, and don’t think for a moment that enhanced interrogations have stopped. Waterboarding might have (though only 3 people ever got that), and things may be nicer, but no way is a secret CIA prison or a prison ship a nice place.
