REAAAALLY I do, but, that photo looks a parody.

A milquetoast wussified parody.

Anyway, three more items about Jay “Benedict” Rockefeller:

In January of 2002, just months after the attacks on the WTC, Senator “Jay” Rockefeller, a co-chairman on the Senate Intelligence Committee, by his own admisstion visited a rogue state (Syria) to warn them of our plans to Invade Iraq.

In December of 2004 Democratic Senators Dick Durbin, Jay Rockefeller and Ron Wyden leaked details about a secret “black ops” CIA satellite program to the media (an investigation according FBI sources that is still ungoing).

In January 2006, Senator Rockefeller gets tripped up in his own lies when through a memo he discusses “concerns” over the NSA survellance program, which tipped investigators looking into who leaked the program to the NY Times – as well as the CIA prison story to the Washinton Post – that Rockefeller may in fact have played a part.

Good point

I wish I had a nickel for every time I saw a headline starting out, “Bush defends…”

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back often….

We are not talking conspiracy “theory” here… we are talking about a recipe for Anti-American abuse of authority which is being executed in spite of it’s exposure all while the NewsMedia refuses to report the story.

“There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years … We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction.” — Sen. Jay Rockefeller(D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

Yep, and out of the other sides of their mouths, they accuse the Bush Administration of politicizing the war.

“Democrats demand to see interrogation memos.”

Later, it was,

“Democrats want to see interrogation memos.”

Yet, I see in this story the used the word, ‘demanded.’

Nuance, people. Nuance. “Demand” was undoubtedly deemed too strong…….

It seem that if it isn’t the Ritz Carlton and and a feather bed and Earl Grey tea, it’s torture.

They all come from the Jimmy Carter school of intelligence gathering- you know, as in nothing.

And what is the fear? That our soldiers will be treated in the same manner?

We could only hope for that.

God save us from these idiots.

Yep ! !

Who give away our military and security secrets to the enemy in time of war.

And who are actively undermining the nation for their short-term power advantage.

Shouldn’t this specific “torture” question be investigated behind their own closed doors, first, and not in the public arena, since the tactics exposed may damage our ability to defeat an enemy that plays by no rules except slicing off your head while shouting “Allahu ackbar”?

The only real questions are: can one consider the Dems insane?

And: is it ever justifiable to torture the insane?

Let the Republicans ask that in Congress in reply to this open subversion of our security by the Dems.

Well, I should have put “torture” in quotes in the title, because it hasn’t been established that there’s anything new in the memos in question at all. The Democrats are just assuming and accusing ahead of the facts, as usual and as according to the script.

The Republican administration is condoning torture and the Democrats in Congress are using that to their political advantage.

I somehow am more disturbed by the first half of that sentence than by the second half.
