Here are some posts on the flap.

Luckily, there’s a DOJ opinion, and an Attorney General in office, who believe that it is humane treatment to affix a suspect to a stool, tie them down, and submerge them in water, repeatedly, until they tell “the” truth (i.e., what the questioner wants to hear).

So I fail to see why Mr. Bennett is so concerned. ?

Besides, in the parsing we’ve all come to know and love and satanic torture rituals aside, isn’t a warlock hunt a very different thing from witch hunt?

You are witnessing the End of the Republican Party…

i have only a feeble excuse, on the
whole timing thing — as i wrote a similar
statutory run-down on the timing of goodling’s
immunity deal before congress — um. . .

too much reindeer milk!

but seriously, what if the immunity IS granted
by mid-february? [and i do think jeralyn is right.]

now — as EW reminds, the documents the
ACLU may have seen are, i think, the same
ones david remes refers to in his averrments,
before judge kennedy, in Abdah’s habeas case.

more torture videos still exist. they are
likely at gitmo; as are photos of torture, as
are audio tapes of interrogations of all sorts.

what will it take to force these into the light?

i dunno. but that’s where i’d most like this
to end up — as part of the evidence naming
cheney as “elected official A” in a mulit-count
indictment driven by pleas/immunity from rodriquez,
addington, etc.

but as you say, i am ever a dreamer, bmaz.

i’ll just go back to sipping my reindeer milk, now.

p e a c e,

and happy

s o l s t i c e!

What can I say – I’m a bad reader and I’ve got a bad memory. I recalled the Dana Priest thing looming large, and the question of the Brinkema order, but not the McCain-Cheney debate. And I noted that I didn’t recall seeing it!

Are you referring to the government’s request/demand that the ACLU give back documents that the government had apparently given to ACLU through error?

warning: incoming lame excuse…. i guess i just haven’t been following that scandal very closely.
