these are earlier post but i think serve to remind voters of the type of people vying to be leaders and the tactics they approve of don't seem to jive with the greatest country in the world mantra they are right wing and republican those other world leaders that are doing things we claim to be against also right wing are you getting my drift??????
Yesterday, the former vice president of the United States and one of the architects of the American torture program explained why he was unconcerned about the torture of innocent prisoners.
CHUCK TODD: Let me go to Gul Rahman. He was chained to the wall of his cell, doused with water, froze to death in C.I.A. custody. And it turned out it was a case of mistaken identity.
DICK CHENEY: --right. But the problem I had is with the folks that we did release that end up back on the battlefield. [...] I'm more concerned with bad guys who got out and released than I am with a few that, in fact, were innocent.
CHUCK TODD: 25% of the detainees though, 25% turned out to be innocent. They were released.
DICK CHENEY: Where are you going to draw the line, Chuck? How are-- [...]
CHUCK TODD: Is that too high? You're okay with that margin for error?
DICK CHENEY: I have no problem as long as we achieve our objective.
A reminder: some of the most egregious torture cases took place during preparations for the Iraq War.
could these actions have contributed to the heinous crimes committed by ISIS since Al Qaeda was not in Iraq before CHEYNEY/BUSH?????? Geneva just a place they used to ski.
