One of the sub-plots in the movie "Brazil" was that the government would charge the families of those arrested with the cost of the arrest. When someone was mistakenly arrested and killed, the "ministry" had to figure out some way to refund the money to the family, and it was something that nobody really knew how to do, since there had never been a refund. Hilarity ensued!
Well, not really. But it's quite an interesting movie. I managed to see it on the big screen, and it was one of the most visually stunning movies I've ever seen. If you haven't seen it, imagine Monty Python doing George Orwell's "1984!"
In fact, it's got Michael Palin in it. And Robert DeNiro plays an air conditioning and heating terrorist. Terry Gilliam is a genius.

Lions! Holy Crap! Did they get taken to Kenya?

And what I wouldn't do to hear a pubbie pol come out and state for the record that when any dem says that President Bush lied, that the dem is "a lying sack of s**t!" USING THOSE SPECIFIC WORDS!

They didn't actually get eaten by the fictional lions, so what's the problem?
If they're going to lie about lions and get away with it, we might as well get real ones.
Cleese, pafing Mr. John Cleese.
Excuse me .. we already knew these people were being told - if you're captured, claim to be tortured - and so they are doing what they are told.
Hmmmm?? ABC never took that into consideration either. Showing once again the media's compliance with Anti-Americans.
This is what is wrong with the McCain amendment. Torture, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. It is already the policy of the executive branch that it will not torture Al Qaeda detainees held in foreign prisons. The executive branch therefore has the discretion to determine what is and what is not torture. If Congress passes a law against torture of those detainees in those prisons, the discretion of the executive branch will be gone and courts and lawyers will ultimately decide what is and what is not torture. In other words, the McCain amendment will give those detainess access to federal courts to challenge the conditions of their confinement.
The aclu will do anything and everything to bring down the American Way of living. So far they have been pretty successful. They have changed many of our laws curtailing our freedoms.
Play?
When was the last time you saw them play?
Against Clevand....
At Tiger Stadium...
Altie Taylor had a stand-out game.
It's not whether or not they were actually put in a cage with lions that did or did not exist, it's whether or not the ACLU and ABC News can make them seem convincing.

Bingo!
I want to hear them properly use the words "dishonest", "lies" and "treasonous".

I hope they're listening.

It doesn't matter if the lions were there or not. Nobody has been able to prove the story as false, but we know the story is authentic. (sarcasm).
Of course there was no investigation! Haven't you been listening to Mary Mapes recently? They put out any story they want and we have to prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that it is false.
This has been going on for as long as 60 minutes has been on the air. Even longer (Walter Cronkite).
Only now have they been found out. If it weren't for the internet and bloggers who knows how long this would be going on!
>Lions! Holy Crap!<
GMTA!! I love that silly song.
They should have used real torture...like threatening to send them to work as Hillary Clinton's pool boys.
It's not torture, it's Motivational Tools, or MTs. The guys sitting in for Savage last night were calling them Persuasion Tools or PTs, but I like MTs much better, it sounds like a PC self-improvement regimen.
I think when Iraq passes their new Terrorism law they will be hung and their house bulldozed a la Israel.
Oh come off it, they do that to Christians in China.
