Somewhat OT: what are we to make of the various left-wing claims that KSM was captured in 2003 — after the 2002 “Second Wave” plot was thwarted?

I don’t have an answer — what’s the story?

What I make of it is that it is great to be able to make those claims while living in 2009 while knowing what we know now, and not early 2003 when we didn’t.

BTW, what evidence is used to show the plot was “thwarted” in 2003? Becoming aware that there is a plot before KSM was captured is not thwarting.

Does that mean keeping someone incarcerated for over a year is torture? If not, then why not?

UNIFORM CODE OF MILITARY JUSTICE
Subchapter 10:
Section 924, Article 124;
Any person subject to this chapter who, with intent to injure, disfigure, or disable, inflicts upon the person of another an injury which–

(1) seriously disfigures his person by a mutilation thereof;

(2) destroys or disables any member or organ of his body; or

(3) seriously diminishes his physical vigor by the injury of any member or organ;

is guilty of maiming and shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

Read it and weep idiots, waterboarding is NOT illegal and WAS NOT illegal.
Waterboarding is conducted in SERE to this day and if waterboarding was torture, under this article of the UCMJ, would be illegal to even conduct in SERE.
Lindsey Grahamnesty has just threatened ANY military personel who conducts waterboarding with prosecution.
Grahamnesty, what are you going to charge them with?
Grahamsty, sit down and SHUT UP while you still can.

It has to come to the point that a democrat needs to defend a partisan ally in order to acknowledge the context in which these decisions were made. And suddenly it’s ample justification.

It was right after 9/11, and there were in fact discussions about a second wave of attacks.”

Wow. Amazing! That’s what VP Cheney has been saying all along.

All I can say is amazing!

PopSecret, ActII, Redenbacher, you name it.

Is a photo available of Pelosi covering 3/4ths of her face available similar to the photo of DiFi?

On topic:

Someone should ask Feinstein if less waterboarding would be necessary had she leaked fewer secrets several months ago?

Charles Schumer then: And I’d like to interject a note of balance here. There are times when we all get in high dudgeon. We ought to be reasonable about this. I think there are probably very few people in……

The one and only culprits here are the Terrorist orange-clad Muslim pilgrims(credit Steve Z ).

I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but there are culprits and then there are culprits. The debate is about our conduct. The lives, careers — and fortunes, regardless of it’s size — of American citizens are being threatened by a bunch of Dem politicians who claim they can do whatever they want because they have the power now. They are attempting to scapegoat people because of actions they call criminal and that they, themselves, approved of at the time these actions were done and disregarding their solemn obligation to prevent.

These are the other culprits and a they are real ones.

responses to cesspooladaylian at 1:16 sould be golden…

pretty weak thus far.

no i don’t. but they’re not the real culprits here and never will be, but keep trying.

I’m still trying to work out this acronym.

She should be proudly championing her support for waterboarding high value prisoners who are unaffiliated with any party to the Geneva Conventions.

Instead, she is trying to hide her acquiescence in (or, more likely, support of) the use of waterboarding.

No one will accuse Pelosi of being a profile in political courage.

A double thumbs up salute to the CIA.

but this may wind up damaging both of them among the MoveOn/International ANSWER wing of the Democratic Party

I doubt it. Their hypocrisy has grown to the point that they openly flaunt it now.
