the Geneva Convention and how we treat prisoners reflect who we are,,,that's what it's all about. being America in name only, without the moral highground or values that have gotten us here is a terrorist victory. torture emboldens them. stop slinging arrows at fellow americans which is just what they want. ya can't be the good guy and an amoral bully at the same time. i'm not a "bleeding heart liberal" but what you are doing does far more da
Sean Conners aka SConn1
by the way, in my orig post is the "conclusion" of those details about KSM,,,where theywent beyond all this and threatened his family, the only thing they didn't do to bin al sheid....just wanted to note that before you asked.
there is NO EVIDENCE showing any torture worked on KSM, bin al Sheid or anyone else. just the president saying "trust me" when i say it's true. as far as i know...lmfao. according to the best book on the subject, the oppostie is true...on page 227, i quote ..."at one 5pm meeting in april, Buzzy Krongard raised the issue of "what have we learned to this point, and what might we do differently?" What had they learned? "there was a grudging professional admiration for how hard these guys
i figured i'd better show the references before i got flamed....
How interesting how you go out of your way to defend the rights of terrorists. Pathetic. what is pathetic is your bullshit. i am not a "leftie"...i am a libertarian...tucker carlson is libertarian and most people consider him a conservative, in fact, he calls himself that. personally, i would consider myself a little more progressive than tucker's views, but conservative or liberal rarely come into my thought process as i don't thro
Am I missing something? I didn't know Al-Qaida and Hezbollah were signatories of the Geneva Convention. yeah, you are...according to the supreme court of the united states of america, that is irrelevant. we signed on , and therefore are obligated to upholding our responsibilities. take your pick, good guy or amoral bully,,,cause ya can't be both.
Most did. Along with most major intelligence agencies in the world. However, most democrats believed saddam had WMD's and was a direct threat to this country. Although they seem to forget that now. Typical. like i said...not everyone did,,,including ME!!! you idiot...did you read my post? and furthermore, many congressman and senators voted against the authorization of force,,,,and in case you haven't been paying attention I'M NOT
So if it was up to you, Saddam would not only still be in power in Iraq, he would also be in control of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Good plan. nuttin like good ol neocon spin,,,distort the other side's view....no, what i said was... Schwartzkoff and Powell and every other military expert warned against going beyond kuwait and into a "hornet's nest." a few people disagreed, like cheney, rummy and wolfie... in other wo
oh, and to answer your questions... 1) i wear underwear about 60% of the time,,,i go commando 40% (if i had to take a guess at the percentage) 2)sometimes it's boxers, rarely it's briefs (usually when playing sports or somethin active like that , if i remember beforehand, which i usually don't, lol) recently i tried some boxers that fit tighter like briefs, and i like em. 3) i am a fan of most lingerie...the latex s&m stuff is about the only stuff i don't find attract
ya might wanna correct the spelling in the title...i know ya know how to spell underwear, as ya did correctly in the article. but having the bad spelling in the title looks bad...not tryin to be mean here, but thought ya might not have noticed it (i miss my own typos sometimes too)
We needed no excuse to go into Iraq and do what should have been done in the original Gulf War. the neoconservative mantra. unfortunately, it was wrong in 91, and it was wrong now. sorry neocons, the world isn't as easily controlled and manipulated as you would like it to be. Schwartzkoff and Powell and every other military expert warned against going beyond kuwait and into a "hornet's nest." a few people disagreed, like chene
this was a commentary made by Keith Olbermann last week on his primetime show. the next day, the pundits were attacking it, but provided little evidence as to why exactly....Keith pretty much hit the bullseye. Here's what he said, and I couldn't have said it any better. Half a lifetime ago, I worked in this now-empty space. And for 40 days a
i think some network needs to rerun the old twilight zone episode,,,"the monsters of maple street" on national TV, primetime...hell of a lot of truth in that old show. Keith Olbermann said it best.... And long ago, a series called "The Twilight Zone" broadcast a riveting episode entitled "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street." In brief: a meteor sparks rumors of an invasion by extra-terrestrials disguised as humans. The electricit
oh wait,,,there's more... This week, the Senate is planning to quietly hold a vote that would pardon President Bush for breaking the law by illegally wiretapping innocent Americans without warrants. According to Senator Leahy, the bill would "...immunize officials who have violated federal law by authorizing such illegal activities."1President Bush broke the law, and courts are starting to agree. Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter o
McCain's bill simply wants to take that at face value. That means we do what we think is fine and then suffer the slings and arrows of a moronic peanut gallery of nations who think what we do is barbaric. Bush wants more specific language. Which makes more sense when you are talking about facing war crimes tribunals, defining something, or leaving it vague? straw man arguement...the geneva convention addresses torture and inhumane trea

excellent article...i went and reread the contrat, going into some of the more detailed proposals. in their defense proposals, there is all kinds of talk about getting us further away, if not out of the UN. Not respecting any UN authority. All kinds of talk about building anti ballistic missles to fight a cold war that was over by many years by 1995. and not one mention of terrorists, terrorism, Osama Bin Laden (even tho he had already oversaw the 1st
Last week, President Bush announced to the world that the distinguished war veterans such as John McCain, Colin Powell and Lyndsay Graham along with other well respected insiders like John Warner were clueless about the geneva Convention. He claimed another need to circumvent the constitution so he could do his thing in secret, his way...but don't worry, it's legal, c
As far as Conners and his political siding goes....just because your family is republican doesn't make you republican....my entire family is staunchly democrat...that doesn't mean I am democrat....far from it. did you read what i wrote? i didn't claim to be a republican, but i have been known to both support republicans and their causes when i found them just.
mino, a) i am not a "leftie" as you describe, but it is typical for anyone from the extreme far right to accuse me of it. i have WAY too many GOP affiliations to be called a leftie or anything derrogatory or suggests that i don't look fairly at all sides of the aisle. i held elected office as a republican, my family has held office, run for office and ran campaigns for MANY gop causes. look and see who runs Joe Wilson's (R-SC, and a personal
guess the right wing has nothing to say bout this one...hmmmm...
