I agree. Penetta is parsing words. Previous press accounts that quote govt officials that say otherwise.

Speaking of torture, if you haven't seen the movie "Unthinkable" with Samuel L. Jackson (probably his best performance since Snakes on a plane Pulp Fiction), check it out.

There has always been something psychological going on with McCain. In his acceptance speech he said that, before his POW experience, he used to do things just to draw attention to himself (I’ve linked that before). And he implied that he put those bad habits behind.

He didn’t. I agree he is jealous, or covetous of Bush and others. That’s part of what causes him to backstab, and he also still does things to draw attention to himself. He (and his lovely daughter) well understand that the way to stay in front of the TV cameras is to criticize and undercut Republicans and especially conservatives.

I think I know what we’ve got here.

John McCain has Legacy Envy.

Why, oh why, did Arizonans send this man back to the Senate?

Because Maricopa County is full of old senile retirees....that's why!

John McNasty is a repulsive, despicable, pathetic little worm of a man.

Panetta is pulling a Clinton = “It depends on what your definition of ‘is’ is.”

No one is saying enhanced interrogation got the “name” of the couriers. What they got was the fact that OBL used couriers. It was reported that Kalid Sheik Muhammed only gave up that OSL used couriers. He didn’t know their names. Later the CIA found out the nickname of the courier. Then later still they found out the full name, and that led to the safe house.

So Panetta is parsing words so the libs don’t have to admit that waterboarding led to the couriers.

McCain has been insane for a long time. Go back to before his nomination in ‘08. There’s a lot of credible history of McCain as not bright, egomaniac, immature and unreliable. Breaking McCain by the Viet Commies would have been complete and he may very well be a real manchurian candidate. McCain would have been a hero if he had not returned from SE Asia but no one should trust McCain, he is an enemy for all of us!

“...came from a detainee held in another country. The United States did not conduct this detainee’s interrogation, nor did we render him to that country for the purpose of interrogation.”

Oh BS!! You didnt intend for him to be tortured, but they certainly could have. What a bunch of weasel words (no offense to actual weasels)!

We never tortured anyone.

Sure we did. McCain vs Obama? That was torture.

Greg Sargent, writing in the Washington Post, uses an anti-Republican op-ed to make anti-Republican remarks, under an anti-Republican title. What were the odds? Thanks SeekAndFind.
