an exclusive interview at Brave New Studios. “And the reason why is that our enemies use it, number one, as a recruiting tool…These same foreign fighters who came to Iraq to fight because of torture and abuse….literally cost us hundreds if not thousands of American lives.” Sound off at bravenewfoundation.org … “Brave New Foundation” “Matthew Alexander” Cheney “Brave New Films” “Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi” terrorism torture “Meet The Press” Iraq Afghanistan war “innocent civilians” …
Cheney is yet ANOTHER example of the profoundly bad judgement that is the hallmark of the republican party. That is if you buy into the idea that any conservative terrorist activity’s are “mistakes” at all. Republican Cons are cold hardened murdering criminals who must be held accountable if we care at all about the “future generations” everyone claims to care so much about in their self interests.
fox news is the greatest channel on TV.
Sadly you are correct. I don’t even think Obama is doing much better than Bush but I find myself defending him against the ignorance of the Fox news worshipers.
I like the humor, the exaggeration, and there is some truth behind your comments. Bottom line, Repunklicans are in a death grip within the wanning days of WASP control of the US. And therefore will do anything and support anybody that may further thier hegemony just a few more years.
@jds51500 actually I heard that Obamas urine does cure cancer at the pray to Obama meeting I went to.
@agent1up How about when you step up and be a hangman.
WHEN WILL BUSH AND GANG HANG?
Let’s be honest and get down to the truth that no one seems to want to talk about. If Adolf Hitler were running for President of the United State and he picked Stalin as his running mate and he ran as a Republican, the Republicans would vote for him. They don’t care about Right or Wrong, Good or Bad and they honestly don’t care about America. They hate this President on two Major fronts. He’s a Democrat and a Black man. Obama could create the cure for Cancer they would find a way to hate on it.
I just came from abc’s news web page and i cant believe Americans are defending torture! An eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind. This is definitely a dark time for humanity. Pray for all souls!
Not really. Al-Queda didn’t exist in Iraq until after we invaded. Al-Queda used that and the abuse as recruiting tools to get a hold in Iraq.
this clip contradicts the notion that Al-Queda and Iraq were not linked, wont you say?
There is no doubt that Cheny and Bushshould be prosecuted for war crimes and the murder of thousands of innocent lives, to include the murder of our troops for putting them in this situation. I’ve never seen a more uneducated and arrogant man as cheney.
Maybe you would like to lay out the errors that Yoo and Bybee made in their legal analysis? I’m sure that now that you have done a paper on the issue you are more qualified than these respected attorneys to evaluate this legal issue.
im doing a paper on torture from a sociological perspective, little did i know how complicatied and controversial this issue is
anyways torrture is internationally illegal and those lawyers, whose jobs are to enforce and protect the law, abused their power to make waterboarding look legal, they should be on trial, and cheney too because he was the one who asked those lawyers to make the law flexible…
torture is unconstitutional…then again the bush administration raped the constitution
I hate it when people say that we should torture because they torture our own people. You know what? We’re supposed to be ABOVE that. We’re supposed to REFUSE to stoop to their level.
We can’t call ourselves the good guys and do bad guy things. Yes, Cheney should be put on trial for war crimes.
Not only is torture immoral and inefficient (a true interrogator will tell you that only a poor interrogator uses torture as a first resort), it is against the 3rd and 4th Geneva Conventions.
what a total GREEDY idiot, liar, cheat, piece of garbage this man cheney is. I hope he sees pain in his own life befitting the pain he has inflicted on others.
Obama should try, convict, and execute Bush, Chenny and others on pay per view t.v.. That should generate enough cash to pay for the illegal iraq war!
This guy is the real deal. Dick Cheney is a draft dodging chickenhawk who ordered people tortured to get them to falsely confess to nonexistent Al Qaida connections with Iraq. Cheney should be tried for war crimes.
Nobody on this planet has the right to decide who to torture and who not to, who deserves to die and who deserves to live….
Maybe military guys seeing pictures of THEIR own being tortured, abused and beheaded by these radicals was enough to push THEM over the edge.
To hear this guy talk, if there was no torture, then there would be no war..and that is very far from the truth. I really think the best quote came from the latest Batman movie…
“Some men just want to watch the world burn”
These terrorists don’t want to get along, it doesn’t matter how nice we are to them..they just want to watch the world burn
Evolution is a word, not a belief.
Toggling between a word and whatever wad of political theology they are attempting to proselytize at the moment is the signature trait of socialists.
A few other such words are gay, liberal, conservative, progressive, welfare, environment, global-warming, and green.
Word sophistry is one of their most prolific marketing tools.For example, it’s how they absolve the Democrat party of its rich history of slavery, racism, and domestic terrorism.
Evolution is established science, regardless of a scientist’s political affiliation. Many scientists who believe in evolution, as it so happens, happen to be people who vote Republican because Republicans are the ones who behave most in the matter that vindicates Darwin’s theory of evolution. Republican free-market theory is really just Social Darwinism.
The bail-out is the result of a fanatical commitment to fee-market principles which ended in businesses winning tax-money through extortion.
part 2 little Limpkin. Joseph Geobbels said all you have to do is tell a lie enough times and it becomes the truth.
For example you think we are just as evil as terrorists because you were programed to think they have done nothing wrong and we killed their people. However you are probably unaware that we found 550 tons of Uranium and biological weapons of mass destruction and Sadam Huessien was a mass murderer who was responsible for the death of over a million of his people.
Who the fuck asked you? I guess this is little Limpkin? Oh ok. Yeah Fox news is the ONLY other media network that isnt completely socialist and they have mostly stooges working for them like Shep Smith and Bill O’reily. Hanity is conservative but he is a puppet too. Brainwashed has nothing to do with torture unless you are talking about shock therapy where a person is litteraly programed. But dont take it from me, just look at the ultimate example, the Nazi Joeseph Goerbbels… to be continued
