Sammy Abuser?? So Sammy abused her? Perfect.

She probably wasn’t comfortable with that without having the dominatrix get up and boots on.

This made me lmao. I’m Sammy’s brother and this is exactly how they pronounced my last name at University of Florida graduation.

I don’t think they review the ‘facts’ of any case. But, probably if they did they would remand the case to the lower court and have them ‘fix’ it.

Still, I agree, it would be fascinating to hear them tackle it.

I never have understood why our gov’t (either Clinton or Bush) would send people to any ME country for interrogation. Sure, we could get Egyptian gov’t help, but Syria? Wouldn’t they have been more likely to ‘get’ the ‘testimony’ which served their purposes more than ours?

It’s confusing to me.

It’s as though we, and those countries to which we sent people, wanted a reason for us to take out Saddam Hussein, and would do anything to get it.

Just who was the war against Saddam for? Was it a favor to countries in the ME as well as something to get Dubya re-elected?

As I said, it’s confusing to me.

She was also made aware of reports that a hijacking would occur in the US related to the NY sentencing -scheduled for September 10-12, of several of the AQ bombers of the East African Embassies.

Interesting. I hadn’t heard that before.

I suspect it was a habit which did her in.

If your entire career is based on saying “yes”, but at some point you realize OMG, there actually *is* a line across which you don’t want to cross, then what do you do?

She just stayed quiet. As she said recently, she owes them (Bush & co) her loyalty and silence. I think that’s what she did while in office.

It’s understandable, but hardly commendable.

Marjorie Cohn had some interesting testimony before the House Judiciary Committee May 6 2008 110th Congress re: jus cogens, what it means to torcha.

Was Cohn the student that she attempted to humiliate and shut up with “do your homework”? Then leaned over and tried to pacify with “the Supreme Court”

Cohn was polite and did indeed as some hardball questions.

Condi could have come off so mature if she would have said “important, logical questions” Then gone into “if you were not there”

She blew it AGAIN

Glad Horton interviewed them

Thnx for responding. I’m surely keeping my fingers crossed for your guess.
