Top Bush Officials In On Torture - Could Be Held Accountable

[1hogfan83]

if they are guility of war crimes then obama is too, not closing gitmo. again, if they are guilty then everyone that has every supported or had an abortion should be lined up and shot for killing a baby or supporting it. crimes against humanity. enough said. shoot the mothers first, doctors second, melissa etherdige (sp) next. use the smallest gun possible, i wanna see her suffer.

[MyTotalRemedy]

Well, okay. So he wrote the memo okaying torture.

Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Bush agreed to it.

[MyTotalRemedy]

What about GONZALES?

[mannhorn34]

Viva la Wikileaks!

[Cowcharge]

Who told this dufus he should be on tv? Fire your casting director.

[GibbskinsDC]

M for Moran, Bush the worst of all 43 presidents!!! He is some BushShit!!!

[warpedcomedy]

Jimmy Carter was the worst.

[phdecora]

i am devastated, dont worry man.

[agapelove4you]

May be politician and army eyes can see the success...but how can it be? Muslims always aganist America, even who live in the USA. Is US army or the US politicians can change Muslim's heart? Some Muslims oiling US politicians for their personal gain. Be wise America! Ask Wisdom to take next step. GB

[timbosforporn]

If Barking dogs not constitutes torture then my neighbors should be drummed up and put into that phoney international court. Once there he would not have the same rights that are to be given to him under the constitution. That is why our govt shouldn't be able to hand over any citizens wether they are politicians or not to some kind of international court where they will not get the same rights they get under the constitution.

[timbosforporn]

What happens if some of the information that they obtained from the "torture" actually prevented more attacks and saved lives? Would you still think Bush is some kind of monster especially if that life was the life of your child?

[Andrew91919191]

Spend a couple of months in Abu Ghraib and then say that. You do know that most of the prisoners there were not insurgents right?

You know, you're just chillin' at home, and you get arrested and taken to Abu Ghraib. You'd be cool with that though right? Because after all, in your opinion it isn't torture.

[timbosforporn]

I don't have to go there and no American citizen is being held there. THe only people being held there are terrorist.

[Andrew91919191]

Really, you know that for a fact do you? Go watch ghosts of Abu Ghraib. All though I know the facts aren't a very appealing thing to people like you.

[timbosforporn]

That doesn't sound bigoted at all. Do you normally talk to black people like this? Do you always go up to a black person and say "people like you"? I hope not because I would find that very offensive if you ever said that to me.

[Andrew91919191]

Way to evade the point. You know I meant dumb ass right wing idiots like yourself. I'm done replying to you, you're completely ignorant and I think it is safe to say that you will always be that way.

[timbosforporn]

I think you meant black people and I think you are a racist and I'm very offended by that. I was fine until you said "you people" which is the phrase every racist in the world uses. And you people ought to stop being a racist.

[timbosforporn]

I think it was quite healthy that they did have a meeting in the whitehouse because it shows that they were willing to put certain boundries on their activities. A truly torture happy administration would have allowed them to do anything they want but they defined rules what they can and can't do.

[Englishdosser86]

Who cares if you define laws outside of what the majority of the world considers humane? I'm pretty sure that they were charging people in Saddam's administration for the same kinds of things that they've been doing.

[timbosforporn]

What do you mean? Its our country we can define whatever laws we want and if you have a problem with it come and get on your warships and come and get us.

[Englishdosser86]

That's exactly the problem.

[timbosforporn]

Not from my point of view.

[Englishdosser86]

That's also part of the problem.

[timbosforporn]

what problem?

[mannhorn34]

@timbosforporn Revolutions do not require "Warships". Douche Bag.

[timbosforporn]

@mannhorn34 Ok asswipe. Thank you for the correction.

[Hopeful71]

"Which would be awesome"

Yes, republicans would LOVE that. Think of a Democratic presider, Rumsfield gets arrested in a foreign country....Who are the jingoistic American public going to hold resposible, especially after Fox news and the RNC start drumming up patriotic sentiment?

The Democrats don't know how to fight this sort of proganda war and it will sink the sitting Democratic president.

[Vinchene]

The ONLY Problem with reporting that is making the lawbreakers aware of the potential to be arrested and tried on foreign soil.

[eatmyplum]

there are women being vaginaly tortured and children being dismembered around the world but you only care about torture if its done by america. dripping water on their heads... get over it focus on bigger problems in the owlrd, there are people being mutialted and rpaed while you cry for some suspected terrorists, if they werent arab and it wasnt america then you wouldnt care

[Goldbuckles]

IMPEACH

[mastior]

NIXON/BUSH worst pres, EVER. The world is not alone America Hates BUSH...

[Goldbuckles]

CLINTON/NIXON/BUSH

[jwhyte67]

Bush makes Nixon look like a pansie. Watergate doesnt even scratch the surface

[eatmyplum]

this is horrible, there are people all around the world being tortures. women being vaginly torn apart in pakistan and other parts of asia, but alot of people just focus on these guys because its america. focus on the bigger problems, not some small group of people being humilated, while there are horribol tortures being carried right now in other countries.

[fooschnikens]

Fuck you asshole, we never should have invaded in the first place. The people that we're supposedly fighting for (the Iraqi citizens) fucking hate us! They're supporting the people who are killing us! What is the point of staying there? The only way we can win is to wipe out the entire fucking population!

[eatmyplum]

fooschnikens ,

they are supporting the people who are there to kill the maericans? even though the americans enemy are the ones who storm local towns killing owmen for learning. youre crazy. fuck america and fuck you

[911insidejob9]

9/11 inside job

Outrageous conspiracy or horrifying TRUTH.You decide...

Watch "9/11 coincidences part 7"

You won`t believe until you see it.

[ikekll]

NPR recently aired Paul Salepak's(sp?)

story of his captivity in Darfur.

He wasn't tortured but held in isolation. He was falsely charged with spying and knew he'd probably not survive so he quit eating.

They told him if he didn't eat, they would force feed him like the U.S. does at Gitmo. This is the example the US and our corrupt policies demonstrate to other nation

[ikekll]

"July 20, 2007... Bush signs an Executive order allowing the CIA...On April 9, 2008, ABCNews reported that then National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice chaired meetings in 2002 at which Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Attorney General John Ashcroft, and CIA Director George Tenet discussed with great specificity what kinds of aggressive interrogation techniques, including waterboarding, should...(cont)

[ikekll]

be used against the recently captured terrorist Abu Zubaydah. They considered him to be the No. 3 person in al Qaeda. (He was, in fact, a mentally ill minor functionary with no useful information but lots of delusions.) This report puts the promotion of torture squarely in the White House early on and across the board at the very highest levels of the Administration"

[evil9999999999999999]

VetNam was the tiger cages, the jails and concentration camps here are being exposed, The military commissions act is connected to John Walsh and his E-Stop program, Thank you,TYT for showing this, WitSec is a scab scam since the 1st w/Joe-Joe Valachi being used and discarded like any WitSec after victim is jailed. There is always two sides to any story and it just matters to law enforcement which side yields the best profit.

There is no threat, nothing to fear, Gov. fear of own exposure thankx

[NanaHall55]

The NSA & CIA both gave intelligent reports that their were NO WMD & NO connection with Al Qaeda in Iraq. But Cheney chose to report this information in several interviews stating that it was true. They knew it was not true. They are liars & war criminals. Now with the torture OK, this should be the last straw. Impeach both Bush & Cheney. This is outrageous! War criminals leading our country! How awful! We need to wake up!

[UpleHdoG]

I'd waterboard this idiot Cenk 1st chance I got just on GP.Take your turkish bathing fat ass and read, it will teach ya a lil about the history of your friends the terroists you keep defending.

[OliviaHadassah]

Yes, this is what we need! Thanks for the hope of watching our dreams come true! Europeans hate Bush and are demonstrating against US policy, so I am sure someone will take advantage of this!

[oz22verizon]

oh man!!! i hope they get 'em!!They all need to fry! I heard on free speech radio that germany and france(and one other country) ARE trying to bring them up on charges for universal crimes and violating the geneva convention, and congress should be impeached for granting immunity thats unf&cking real!!

[OsamaBeenForgotten]

Bush and Cheney are War Criminals

[UpleHdoG]

Intelligent statement where are your facts? And did you know that Mr. traitor himself Bill Clinton, gave Pres. Bush all the same info which his administration had that Saddam had and would use WMD. But nobody is calling Clinton a criminal or liar. Bill gave Korea 2 nuclear reactors and China got critical satellite technology, against Clintons own advisors. Sandy burglar oops Berger stole documents to keep the Clintons protected from their misdeeds and got a slap on the wrist. WHERE'S THE OUTCRY?

[HrvRoy]

if you think that it is justify because of the actual situation - Who, in the world right now, is directly threatning the your wife or child? The present US Government is trying to convince you that you are in some kind of immidiate danger. From who? Taleban? Irakis? But a word of advice, after you have tortured who ever you thought was not worthy of your respect, don't be surprise if they "fly" right back at you.

[castardo53]

GO BACK TO TURKEY,TURKEY

[castardo53]

you dumbshits, THE hazing in the military and in the university enviorments ARE FAR WORSE than these non GEGEVA CONVENTION SIGNERS.IF YOUR WIFE OR CHILD ARE ABOUT TO DIE AND YOU HAD THE ABILITY TO SAVE THEIR LIVES, WOULD YOU DO THE SAME? WE ALL NO WHAT YOUR ANSWER IS. YOU ARE AN IDIOT...GROW UP OR GET OUT.YOUR POLICIES GET PEOPLE KILLRD

[rampartproductions]

let me waterboard you and I'll have you pissen your pants in an hour.

[castardo53]

you idiot, the submarine I was on did just that. you must be an idiot

[castardo53]

they would cut yiour head in a second

[marinemommilof3]

YOUR THE IDIOT!

It is called the LAW!

You don't like it, change it, don't BREAK IT.

[straightfistpit]

????

[kimintexas]

They are all quilty including the CIA, and our Congress and Senate will be quilty if they remain silent and do nothing about this injustice!

[danthg]

that would be very awesome

[vaderwalks]

Cenk, you're amazing. I could not have said it better myself. That WOULD be awesome.

[TheYoungTurks]

Watch the entire show at theyoungturks(.)com

[LumpyRevolution]

I keep hearing voices crying out to take up arms against these people in our gov't. They better be careful. I think it's not too far away. People are pissed.

[LTDreams]

But seriously, this needs to be done. How do we get the International Criminal Court to take action?

[CousinoMacul]

I've for the longest time now dreamed about Cheney and Rumsfeld growing old in the Hague.

[DillonX]

You can check on it -- but I believe that the USA Executive Branch is taking the position that we can call for people to be brought before the Hague, but they will not allow any US official to be taken to the Hague.

As insane as this seems, I believe that's the case.

[CousinoMacul]

DillonX,

It's not insane, it's hypocritical. Unfortunately, as long as the US is the big power it is, there isn't too much that the rest of the world can do about it.

[hollyhoodjoe123]

Colin Powell is a victim of what is called "groupthink." Google it!

If you believe that your so high and mighty that you can't fall victim to "groupthink", think again.

Not defending the man, but you have look at this objectively.

[xiola6969]

The best way to describe the bush legacy. The most Lawful Evil administration in American history. Something many Americans have forgotten because its technically legal dose not make it morally correct or right. The impeachment process toughly describes that a president dose not need to break the law but break that threshold of immorality which has happened enough times.

[parulkarg]

Sane people think like you do but if the polls are correct Bush part 3, Mccain have good enough chance to win. This means majority of americans are insane. Its the moral and philosophical recession that needs most attention not the economic one. If these dumb people keep following the neocon agenda, US is bound to loose its superpoer status that is after about a billion people die in WW3. Unless ofcourse the "neolib" lobby becomes strong enough to start the civil war you mentioned!

[xiola6969]

I hope these people sit down; you can't run a country that is against the majority of the peoples will. It's going to turn bloody if these people do not change course to be in line with the will of the people. Like in all major nations in history they get big and then start going against the will of the people and then are overthrown.

[xiola6969]

I see a return to the original constitution and the removal of nearly 300 years of deconstruction by greedy politicians. I wait to see if the next election will turn around the country or if its going to require good old America know how bullets and blood.

[xiola6969]

If the torture dose not stop I expect a civil war similar to the one over slavery. In America we hold infallible moral high ground we do not do so by technicalities designed by lawyers. That is America don't like get the fuck out.

[GerardMontague]

The 6 a-holes are at it again. They are all eventually going to get what's coming to them.

[rmsolom]

Why are most politicians the biggest f*cking scumbags!

[LumpyRevolution]

Let's waterboard Rumsfeld!

[1loydster]

We need to organize a big foreign social event and invite all the politicians who signed off on the torture...

and also invite some international law enforcement officers, just to get the party started! We'll even invite the mainscum media so they can broadcast the happy event to all the sheople....yeah, that would be AWESOME !!!

(I think rumsfeld and Bubba would make a beautiful couple) Ha ha ha ha

[CheeezMaster]

instead of a tap on the shoulder, give em a quick .22 behind the ear on a quiet backstreet.

[unluvable]

I hope its not a tap on the shoulder, but rather a prickly feeling of a pineapple being shoved (top side up) through their rectal breaches.

[alexerb]

"Which. Would. Be. AWESOME!"

Hell yeah!

[DrakeMagnum]

That would be superb, a little bit of justice!

You're totally right, these are crazy times that this is apparently not Earth-cracking news.

[Corbo905]

sorry guys but none of them will ever get arrested.

[jerseypepper]

Although that would be nice to see China snag GWB....can you imagine Cheney as President with Marshall Law powers......ugh. Cheney should go instead

[drunkdecoy]

Bush goes to China and gets arrested on war crimes.... that would be quite the headline.

[rafael28]

can't wait to see those fuckers in jail

[kyeot]

I know its in American mentality to wait for someone else to come in and clean up thier mess but how about Americans put the hamburger down for one second and do something themselves? Vote for the NI4D have the people empower themseleves so they can hold those who deserve it accountable. A nation based on laws where none of those laws serve the people is a Dictatorship. Be as brave as the founders of the consitution and empower the NI4D and vote Libertarian Mike Gravel for President!

[falconwings1982]

You have no idea how much of an enormous boost this would give to Americans' morale. To think that we may actually one day see Donald Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft, Alberto Gonzales, and Condoleeza Rice in handcuffs. LOL

[swaggajee]

It would be AWESOME!! And rather fitting that these war criminals fought so hard to take down Saddam Hussien and they may meet the same fate. I can only hope that someone gets their execution on tape like they did with Saddam.

[swaggajee]

Cenk, I hope you never stop talking about the evil things that happen during Bush's watch. Maybe if you talk long enough and loud enough people will finally wake up. So keep up the good work on making Americans hear about the torture and KBR rapes/Blackwater murders!!!

[Fisue928]

Bring them all up on charges for war crimes and get it over with. That is what would the US would want to do if they were leaders in another country.

[Fisue928]

Bring them all up on charges for war cimes and get it over with. That is what would the US would want to do if they were leaders in another country.

[Mahoivlich]

it will have to fall to the international community. if the US was going to do anything they would have impeached him already and prosecuted. Its like the blue wall none of them are going to do it to another politician.

[lestliness]

WE the fucking people need to arrest these clowns.. I don't the f'n UN touching them. This is our job and we shouldn't give credence to this international body like that.

[yelobmx]

ladies and gentlemen.... we got 'em! (all?)

hearing the story about that euro judge made my day and hope we find darth cheney in some tiny spider hole

[hunterswine]

The truth always finds its way back to the light!

[iammasterlion]

Keep hoping idiot. Henry Kissinger, former US Secretary of State, has been wanted for breaking international law for two decades now. He is a war criminal and he is still travelling the world at will (except going to Bangladesh or Vietnam where there is still an outstanding warrant for his arrest). The current administration's top officials will still be vacationing in the Bahamas and retire to live in Dubai no matter what. Law doesnt matter to those who make it. These men shall get away with it

[toosinbeymen]

"Why are we talking about this in the White House?" Makes me weep for my country...

[toosinbeymen]

impeach, investigate, indict, incarcerate, impoverish

[MDUMANOVIC]

Awesome!

[jerseypepper]

I'm still laughing at your "which would be awesome" bit. Great commentary. John Yoo (will become infamous if he isnt already)has to come to speak to congress on May 6th. Predictions...Bush will not let him testify and it won't matter because the public will still be saying WTF...we attacked Iran?

[lebaneseameer]

9/11 changed everything! It gave corrupt leaders like these douchebags immunity to do anything they please! I don't even think Bush Sr or Reagan would have gotten away with this shit!! People talking about 9/11 being set up by the government...with what's been going on, I wouldn't be surprised if they had something to do with it!! With what I've seen lately, I wouldn't put that past them.  They are vicious and evil enough to kill thousands for their own benefit.

[nemobad]

i agree with you. it wouldn't surprise me one bit if this administration had a hand in 9/11.
