More biased reporting. I watched the hearing on C-SPAN. The hearing was over and Sensenbrenner in his capacity as chairman, closed the meeting. The Dems wanted to continue getting more statements from the anti-Bush panel, most of whom failed to address provisions in the Patriot Act.
Everyone had an opportunity to question the panel. Maxine Waters, the last questioner, spent four minutes and 45 seconds of her alloted five minutes in a diatribe against Bush. Conyers, the ranking member, then asked for four additional minutes so the panel members could respond to Waters' comments. Rightfully, Sensenbrenner refused and after some closing remarks adjourned the meeting.
Bringing Amnesty International to the table, an organization which has evidenced a hostile-to-the-US perspective, and has Muslim woman for its chairperson now, THAT is great PR for our side. AI really blew it when it held to (and even defended) its statement that Gitmo and Gulag are equivalents.
Excuse me? Only for the Kool-Aid drinkers!
Sensenbrenner has led the way, THANK YOU!!!!
Other Republicans take note, PLEASE!!!! Tough love is the proper prescription for these whiny, out of control, disruptive ____________(the list goes on and on and on!) behaviors.
