  • Obama is a Fraud and Con Artist who deserves a Democratic challenger to unseat him. I agree with Cornel West who originally said Obama is a puppet and mascot, so what happened to Dr. West? The harsh comments by former CIA agent Philip Agee are proven to be accurate. George Herbert Walker Bush who I admired is equally treasonous to the US Constitution. Thanks to Cenk Uygur.

  • When has Obama ever accommodated liberals?

  • This guy is a jackass.

  • The Obama administration represents totalitarian propaganda.

  • Where the hell do you get this BS. It's well known that the reason why they won't release the documents is because it all happened under, an all knowing of the situation, a democratic congress, moron! Also it is Obama who has never spoken to the republicans in congress about any bills not the other way around. Also it was the democrats in congress not the republicans that okayed the techniques used by the military like good old Nancy and Harry. I will not watch your dumb shit again.

  • hey everyone i have some great videos about obama. tells you everthing you need to know about him alot of stuff people never knew real good go watch them all in my channel

  • The Pakistan Daily is reporting: "The U.S. Invades and Occupies Pakistan" hmm... Bush had Afghanistan and Iraq, Obama has Pakistan and most likely Iran. Where is the change? Same shit, different asshole. Both of these assholes follow the globalist elites, you will get NO change from these two parties.

  • @Idtelos its true i guess and im hoping Pakistan and iran will never be involved in whats happening right now. Hopefully Obama will prove you wrong soon, lets see how it goes

  • wrong answer,,, you must follow all legal oreders,,, not wrong orders,,, in that case hitler was the only one to blame,,,

  • This is crap.

    1. The Republicans are out of it. They can't block anything. Even TYT's acknowledge it, in this video.

    2. A lowly CIA officer is blocking the AG from releasing memos. NO WAY on this Earth can that happen.

    "(these memos) are very damaging to the Bush administration, and to the Republicans that supported them..."

    Then what about the Democrats, who supported torture? Pelosi? How hard is she trying to get these memos released?

    Cheney said to release them all.

    cont...

  • Is there any doubt, or question, that TYT's are, in any way, objective?

    No. That should be obvious to all by now.

    So without objectivity, can there be honesty?

    No. Not when reporting on events. Reporting requires honesty.

    So if TYT's aren't reporting, being honest, or being objective, then what are they doing? What have they become?

    And worse, what are they saying about their viewers?

    Draw your own conclusions. Be honest. Be objective. Be what TYT's, are not.

  • @ravenslaves dont be dumb, i mean TyTs are not reporters, more like just give infos to people to decide and also give their own opinions, now unlike the people in FOX, these people have their source supported and also mention better answers when a question pops up. now tell me, do you think Glenn Beck is a msarter human being or The Young Turks? for me its TyT, but i wonder about your answer

  • Cheney says a lot of things......like saddams WMD's, OBL is surrounded, yellow cake, aluminum tubes, wiretaps target overseas mid-east countries, enhanced interogation is nothing like torture,"Halliburton pays me nothing now" "I never mentioned I was director at CFR back in 2000, chuckle" or "I run my own Delta hit squads for decades"

    Cheney is a odd source to quote my friend.

  • You can´t be seriouse. Embarrass and shame CIA officers? Seriousely, you can´t come up with a better reason. Come on, man.

  • But isn't non-partisanship important for a united country especially given the economic times we find ourselves in?

  • Cenk has it right, if they want to make a big stink over this, you should encourage it. I'd say have a press conference over it.

    "Yah, the Republicans are blocking everything we try to do, in a situation where we need to get things done, because they didn't like that we told you, the American people, what was going on because they wanted to cover up the crimes that were committed."

    If they want to go an commit political suicide over this, let them.

  • Oh my God I'm not sure I could handle being buried alive. God help our country.

  • Please Sphinxrising. Continue to talk. It makes everyone smile and giggle a little. Why don't you go off on another tangent. Perhaps how me trying to explain to you that you are missing every one of my points means I still want Saddam in power. Or perhaps the fact that I think bailouts shouldn't happen means I support a communist America. -.-

  • Not only this, I love that this guy is still attacking me after a week about how awesome the military is and how horrible I am, and spoiled when:

    A. I never said a damn thing about the military, I stated facts to a moron.

    B. I'm not physically, emotionally, or mentally cut out to be a solider.

    C. He knows nothing about me and I have been in support of the people fighting for what they have and I have since I was 5.

    D. He's less pissed about the people dying from torture ON BOTH SIDES.

  • -cont-

    E. He presumes to know me, when he doesn't, them blames what happened to his generation, on me.

    F. Assumes I am telling people what to do when I am in no seat of power, nor did I say once that we should stop torture, I said we should imprison the people who authorized it on innocent people. We know they were, because we got nothing from them, AND they weren't Al Queda.

    G. Gets his facts wrong mostly from watching Fox News.

    H. Will always wallow in his delusions that I "insulted" the army

  • Let's smething straight you wretched little twat imposter, I do not watch TV at all. Got that ?

    Tell Bin laden I said hi when you take your skank ass over there, lol

  • I bet you never watch tv. That's why you use all the tactics and issues that Fox News tries to push on everyone. That's why you make an argument out of nothing. And that's why your literary skills are so wonderful that you cannot read and comprehend.

    You just assume that everyone who's opinion is even remotely different than yours is a fangirl of everything you hate. Get over yourself. You lost. You fail. I owned you. It's not hard to do however when you randomly make an invalid point on me.

  • You're right, I never do watch TV, but it clearly shows you do , lol

    Fangirl ? I thought I was quite clear in my last message to you that I do not even believe that you are a female, but just one more imposter, or may be some wannabe girl, both are fairly common on the web now days ( sigh ), so it reqally makes no difference.

    Oh, I never said I fought, I said, I served, but my borhter fought for lil pukes like you so you could sit at home running your mouth about them.

  • Oh My God. You have no idea what sarcasm is.

    I didn't say fangirl to imply I was a female. Even if I am. Would you like me to get on a web camera and pwn you there? Just because it's common to see mangina ( Men pretending to be Vagina ) Doesn't mean I am one, you dumb ass. Sex isn't an issue

    You are stupid. So you didn't fight, but have the nerve to talk about me not fighting...? Because your brother fought you're better than I am? My Brother, Uncle AND grandfather fought.

  • Oh contra, I have been using fairly evident sarcasm in each post to you so if anyone is unaware....

    LOL

  • Meaning you're a troll. Gotcha. I wondered why you were being so stupid. I just figured that's the way you were.

    And no, it wasn't fairly evident. You're being retarded and you know it.

  • Only trolling the trolls is the way I see it, lol

  • I made legitimate points.... And I told the truth. And I never twisted someone's words, or told them flat out what they believe, I dissected their post.

    That's not trolling. Get of the net if you don't know what the fuck you are doing. -.-

  • Example of trolling:

    You're mom!

    What you did:

    Fail to actually read what you are arguing on.

    Which makes you?

    illiterate.

  • " illiterate " means either you cannot read at all, or are only pratially literate, which makes you stupid for not knowing it's meaning. LOL

  • You don't read everything I write. You moron. You also forgot the last part of the word, literate. You actually have to understand what you are reading to be considered literate. Since you tried to define a word by using it.. "Illiterate means you can't read at all or are only pratially( Partially You're 50, spell right. ) literate" I can confidently say you are ILLITERATE.

    You total fail at actually understanding a damn thing makes me smile.

  • Holds hands up and makes the quacking motion to angelicexcel, as that is about what I am getting from you by this point.

    Asides from that, I am starting to get the feelings that you may have the hots for me since you keep contacting me back, but sorry, no I do not wish to swap spit or any other bodily fluids with you. Maybe in another lifetime, but I would not ount on it if I were you, lol

  • They Hots for you? You're older than my mom. Lmao. No one has the hots for you. By the way, I'm more of a woman than you ever will have, and I play for the other team.

    I like how you ran out of argument so you are now sexually harassing me. It makes me smile that I was right in the fact that I said you knew nothing. Yay. Go me.

  • More of a woman that you wqill ever have translates into some dude that thinks he's a woman to me, clearly, LOL

    I did not run out on shit dude, just tired of reading anything you have to say is all.

    Go find you some Middle Eastern bi-dude & go over there & live since you are so worried about them, will not miss you at all you anti-american pinko.

  • By the way. This is the like.. fourth time I've said it, but apparently you can't understand this. So I will type in all capitals in the hopes you can actually see it this time...

    I NEVER ONCE SAID A DAMN THING ABOUT THE MILITARY.

    I NEVER SAID THEY DID A BAD THING AT ALL.

    I SAID TORTURE OF PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T HELP US AT ALL WAS WRONG.

    I SAID THE PEOPLE WHO AUTHORIZED THAT TORTURE SHOULD BE JAILED.

    I SAD MILITARY SHOULD BE LET OFF, THEY WERE FOLLOWING ORDERS AND BEING A GOOD SOLIDER.

  • You are rather think, huh ?

    When you start whining as much about what all them " innocent people " are doing as much as you whine about what our people are doing, I might pay some serious attention to you, until then, I consider you amusement, lol

  • I'm thick...? Ha. You still think I'm bashing the military without saying one word about them. -.-

    I'm not whining. I said one thing to a misinformed person, and you jumped in as attacked me by telling me what I believe and will do. Defending yourself from a moron is not whining.

    That's the problem, you don't pay serious attention to anyone or thing. You can't even read correctly.

  • I think the Republicans are playing Hardball. I also believe that Holder and Obama are listening.

    I don't believe, it might be can't believe, that Republicans are going to win this argument. Once pictures are leaked like from the Iraq prison, entire documents are disclosed, and we have tortured inmates on the record recounting what was done, Republicans do not have a leg to stand on.

    I heard the account of the British man released on a documentary, it was bone chilling. It changes hearts.

  • The officers who commited the tourture, oreder or no order, should be held accountable too. You only have to follow LAWFUL ORDERS

  • Yeah, you keep on believing that shit. Obviously, you have never been in the military, lol

    Yeah, you go right ahead, enlist, & then refuse to carry out a direct order from a supiior officer, who is backed by the White House, CIA, & half a dozen other shado agenices no one has ever heard of.

    They will crucify you either way, as look at what happened to Lt. Kelly.

  • Now Euros and Arabs and their opinions matter more to Obama US president than the people who actually elected him. Welcome to the Bizarro States of America. Takes an SOB to denigrate the country that elected him. His spine is made of steel when on foreign soil licking Euro trash elite. He is not President of the world. Team Obamas world tour was about raising Euro approval numbers. Bow. Scrape. Bush-bash. Suck up. Mission accomplished

  • Torture Works

    FACT

  • Torture works for what? Getting false confessions? Becoming a twisted sadist? Gee, guess it is a FACT.

  • How would americans react if they found out the CIA and ISRAEL are behind 9//11. Maybe thats why obama will not release those memos

  • If that came out as fact, and it got out that the US Government was directly behind the 9/11 attacks, there would be MASSIVE RIOTING IN THE STREETS, Washington would be rioted and those involved would be hung in the streets along with the Banking CEO's, the Rockafellers and Rothschilds would be sought after not by the police but by the people and they to would be killed in the streets. Once all the evil is dead, the world would have a RENAISSANCE lead by the NEW AMERICA Lead by Ron Paul.

  • Since 911,Americans have become way too PC and coward.

  • Wat do you mean PC? Coward? Have you seen the Brothers of Liberty? Are those guys cowards? I wouldnt want to fuck with any of those guys, they will kill you without even blinking!

  • That's not the vast majority of the American public.They are a small group.They'd be crushed.The rest are too coward to even them.

  • Thats not the point though fenderbass, there is a MASSIVE MOVEMENT happening in my country right now. America is waking up to the lies and deceit our Government has been involved in. If you asked the average American a few years ago, what the Bilderburg Group is, or what the NWO is- they would look at you and laugh, as those same people now the same question and i bet you either their brother/mother/sister/father/b­f/gf reads independent press and educated them. Thats whats happening in America.

  • Also, you say- they are a "small group"- that may be true to a certain extent. Brothers of Liberty may be small- but that doesn't change the fact that there are over 3 million Americans armed with some type of Fire Arm. Thats 3 million Patriots ready to Die for their country. We the People know our streets better than some foreign army and will use Gorilla Warfare tactics to defeat our enemies. Dont down talk the incredible patriotism this country harbors in its people. NWO knows this already.

  • How would people react when they realize that you are a fucking stupid idiot conspiracy theorist, 9/11 truther moron? Oh yeah, the same way I am reacting now: with disgust and contempt.

  • Nuff bullshit.......Who wants chocolate???

  • Obama is a scum bag they should make a chia pet for the whole family and then we'll have a nice zoo in our house.

  • I never said they loved us. I never said they even liked us. You can support something, like Al Queda, but you are STILL innocent because are you killing people? No. You're not. Are you even really supporting them if nothing you do contributes to them? I think not. No money, no help. That's not support, that's an opinion that they may be doing a good thing, in their eyes. Does that mean they need to be tortured for information? No. All I said was Fox news got it into his head that they did know.

  • You keep waving that flag & yelling " freedom " because it's people like me ( former & present military ) who keep paying for it for the likes of people like you & the misinformed who once spit on our returning troops, looks like this one will be a repeat.

    Nw, run along & go play with your cartoons ( yeah, I seen your page & people who you admire also, lol ), & let the grownups talk, lol

    OH, one final note, torture has always been a part of war on either side, deal with it.

  • Oh yeah. I almost forgot. Everyone who is against torture spits on troops. Good point. That makes sense. I respect the hell out of people like you who fight for us, but that doesn't mean I'm going to sit idle while you say something completely off base. Yes torture happens on both sides. But it shouldn't WE should be the bigger nation and not do it. Or do you believe the freedoms you fought for only belong to us?

  • As far as torture, nowhere in any of your posts did I even once hear to meantion how them people you are defendinf torture our people when they get thier hands on them, or is it ok for them, but not us ?

    You could like some type of Hanoi Jane to me.

  • Armchair warriors is what the people in the military call people like the guy spouting off & people like you, as you are both in your dafe little world trying to tell the people fighting what to do.

    Not going to happen, or do you want another Vietnam? Yeah, you armchair warriors did a bangup job undermining the efforts of our troops back them huh ?

  • HOW THE FUCK AM I TELLING THE PEOPLE FIGHTING WHAT TO DO? NEWS FLASH: I'M PISSED OFF AT THE CIA AND THE PEOPLE WHO AUTHORIZED TORTURE IN GITMO. Not the people who were ordered to do it, you fucking moron. You are trying to tell me what I'm doing without even knowing what I was doing. All I said was he was a product of blindness, and you jump all over me. The detainees were NOT PICKED FROM A BATTLEFIELD. In fact, they had nothing to do with it!

  • Oh, so telling the government to stop torture & down grading those that follow such order is not telling them what to do ? Hardly you arm chair warrior, lol

    PS, I never meant it to see as if I was jumping all over you, as I am quite calm while you seem slightly out of control, or are you just being a drama queen ?

  • No, you're twisting words around and calling me something I am not. I was not telling anyone to stop doing anything you fucking moron. Go back. READ the post... and understand. I replied to a moron who said we had to torture them because they were picked right off of a battlefield, and they weren't. I said no opinion of torture, nor did I say they should stop until you started on me about nothing. So fuck off.

  • You are fucking living in the past. I know you're 50.. and you can't let things go.... but I'M NOT A FUCKING HIPPIE. I AM A RED BLOODED AMERICAN, I OWN A GUN LIVE IN KENTUCKY AND HAVE FAMILY IN THE MILITARY. I would join myself, but if you knew me, you'd understand I wouldn't last. I am not opposing a war, like you are making me seem. I am opposing torture of INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT KNEW NOTHING that our former president authorized. Which wasted money and time that could have been used in war.

  • -cont-

    So I am attacking the people who DETRACTED from the war, and you're going to fucking tell me I'M NOT SUPPORTING THEM?! What the fuck?

    I am not an armchair warrior. I'm a free thinker. And being a free thinker is a right that I am given due to the fact that people fight for it. And contrary to YOUR belief... I DO NOT SPIT ON THOSE WHO FIGHT. I admire the hell out of them, I commend their bravery, and I even cry when I meet them, and thank them. I've shown you respect... Until 3 posts ago

  • Stop telling me what I do.. and what I didn't do. You don't know me, and you made an argument about me based on assumptions ( that were wrong ) and only after one sentence. I will not support or respect someone who does that as they see fit. I'm not a scapegoat for your anger toward hippies. HELL I WASN'T EVEN ALIVE THEN. Stop taking it out on the youth, and me. We're tired of it, we shouldn't have to pay for their mistakes. I shouldn't have to listen to a senile old man tell me what I think.

  • It was not just hippies, but many college kids as well, kids who wanted the freedom, but none who was willing to pay for it, as god forbid they would have to drop out of being a professional student and have to fight.

    I do like the fact that being a student is no longer a way to get out of the military if they ever do bring back the draft, which I am all in favor of, BTW.

    Would be interesting to see if the enemy is impressed by these clowns making gang signs at them, lol

  • sphinxrising, i read some of your comments and i can some what see where your coming from, but you have to realize how the younger generation feels about this war. We are more prone to think outside the Box, the war is not justified in our eyes, just like Vietnam was not justified to the generation of that time. We are not as affected by the Mainstream media as some of these older people who rely on the TV to stay current. The younger generation is more likely to see Independent Press on the web

  • Oh, you mean web based news like this program who depends upon popularity just as any main stream news agency does ?

    What makes you believe any web based news broadcast is any more accurate or less misleading than any main stream news broadcast ?

    OK, to be fair, I generally like what this guy has to say,but when it comes to war, he & I apprarently are looking in different directions.

  • No its not that i take this guy in all seriousness. Im not gonna lie, i do get some of my information from this guy, but the really important news updates i go to multiple sources that are not Americanized. Even the RT media group from Russia is very informative for an outside perspective on things internally. You CANNOT count on American News outlets to be accurate. They all have an agenda to follow where as independent Media can act on its own accord. Very important.

  • Russa's news is a political mouth piece for it's government & has been, which makes it propaganda, not news, lol

  • Also Sphinxrising58, the Independent News outlets do not rely solely on Popularity and ratings, thats why they are Independent. They usually run on morals and justice instead of relying on what way the political winds are blowing and what the pundits are saying at any given time. Thats why i trust the Net (certain content) FAR MORE than i do Sean Hannity and Chris Mathews. Those guys are just talking heads repeating what their owners tell them to repeat. Can you say COMMUNIST RUSSIA?

  • Also illmagnified, them " independant news outlets are often misinformed & subject to personal bias, sometimes even going so far a todisrtibute misinformation for either personal gain, or from some other unknown reasons.

    Just because they are online, does not make them any more accurate or less accurate than the main stream cuonter parts.

    And to a large part, they do rely upon popularity, in were no one watching, they would vanish, common sense dictates that.

  • LOLOL- Are you kidding me? You say the "Independent Press is not any more accurate or less accurate than main stream counter parts"

    Hmm lets think about that, The Main stream media is controlled by the same 11 Media corporations which is controlled by the elite few who control the flow of information to the poeple. They can Black out Media on Any topic they Please, where as the Independent press does report on Bilderburg Events for example, and things which are not regulated by Big Gov.

  • Yeah, and what you call news online is often nothing more than disinformation at best, often for personal gain by those who publish it, sometimes out of pure ignorance, like your claims of NWO & some super secret illunnati organization for example.

    If you are talking about any other national new agency asides from the BBC, most are known propraganda machines so you show me where online news is any better with all I have mentioned.

  • I guess its not so "OBVIOUS" . FYI. Im a US Marine, and I'd never carry out an UNlawful order. Sure I may get put thru the wringer, but I have confidence that our constitution wud be backing me, and vedicate me.

  • Not even, there are ENTIRE DOCUMENTARIES on the Illuminati and NWO- its funny how Ignorant some people CHOOSE to be when it comes to this stuff, they just brush it off as "nonsense" and "impossibilities" when all you need to do is look back in history to see man has always desired power- and where that desire is, there is corruption and hidden agendas. Its all there just search for it.

  • Are you fucking stupid old man? That was the worst comment you've EVER made. Some people lack the Ability to fight. God forbid you think before you post, because people who don't fight, STILL PAY A PRICE. Or do you think the government can shit money? WE pay for that. WE pay for them to have the best. WE pay more price than you are willing to give to us. We aren't fighting, be we have more riding on this than you will admit. Or do you forget that friends and family that are more gifted then us

  • can and usually ARE lost BECAUSE of shit like this. THIS is why I am mad, because the former government was forcing us to loose something that could have been saved. How many soldiers, no, people, died because of the bad information we received due to torture....? The majority of the people in gitmo, had no information, and weren't connected to Al Queda. You have no argument, because this is truth, and we all lost from it, not just those fighting. Fucker.

  • All this from someone who uses a cartoon as a ID, LOL

    Now go play with your mythical worl of make believe and keep on riding that wave them people are dying to pay for coward.

    As far as baing an " old man ", at least this " old man " does not hide behind some fake ID online, as I did my time in the military while you make lame ass excuses that you would not survive.

  • Wow you are a fucking moron. Don't assume things. I DRAW FOR A LIVING. See? those made up worlds... Guess what? THEY PAY MY BILLS. You dumb ass. You can't "go and play" In a mythical world of cartoons... because you can't do anything but watch them. You truly are retarded.

  • Are you really so stupid that you think every one who thinks torture is wrong will blame the military? I never said one thing about them. They were taking orders and doing their job. It's the people that were GIVING the orders that we are pissed about. WHY CAN YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THIS? We want to lock up the people responsible for deaths that didn't need to happen, and money that didn't need to be spent. Stop trying to twist my words around so you can fight. There is no argument on your side.

  • Are you really so stupid as to believe people are innocent just beause they claim they are ? Apparently so.

    So take your Jihadist loving ass over there & live & let's see how much you love them afterwards, lol

  • No you fucking moron. They didn't say they were. They had no information to give. So they gave made up information. And if they DID know something, and didn't give it up, they obviously wouldn't, so torturing did no good for them, why continue to do it?

    You're a fucking moron. I'm more American than you are. You expect people to not have an opinion, and agree with the government and Military. So why did you fight...? For freedom...? Who's free if we have to obey?

  • Another way to say you are afraid of dying for something you claim you believe in & enjoy because you do not have to pay for the freedom yourself.

  • I just told you. Literally, that people who don't fight pay the price too. You fucking idiot. Learn to read, or did you forget your glasses?

  • I'm not afraid of dying, if it's a just cause. I'm scared more of loosing the ones I love, and the people who fight for us.

    You moron. THINK. Does everyone have the reflexes, the patients, the ability to kill? Does everyone have the perfect mental state to bare the physiological aftermath of war? No. These are talents I lack. Get over it. I can't fight and I doubt if I joined I would make it and they would let me. EVEN if they draft me, I bet I will STILL be sent home. Doesn't mean I am afriad

  • Oh yeah, and when our people do come home, please do try not to spit on them, as this time around, one may put a cap in your sorry yellow ass, as people now days are not as mellow as they once was, lol

  • I didn't spit on them the first time... and I wouldn't have. Thanks for once MORE telling me what I will do. If you haven't noticed... people have come back from Iraq already. AND NO ONE SPIT ON THEM. Or do you choose to be ignorant of everything in the world.

    By the way, people today are not as mellow as then? Where the fuck have you been living...? People back "in your day" were uptight as shit. You know that. Admit it. Or don't. I've already won. You've proven you're a moron.

  • How's that for being senile, Mr. cartoon character ? LOL

    BTW, hippies never bothered me, cowards do.

  • Lmao.... Are you really ripping on my for having a cartoon for my icon? And did you really laugh at your own joke? Really? Yes because the worth of a person is measured in their hobbies. I'm not a coward. And standing up to you proves I'm not. Because I'm not built to fight, doesn't mean I'm not brave. Your view is so warped.

    I have talents, and if they can find use for an artist, I'll join. But the fact that I was born without the ability to help, doesn't mean I don't have a desire to moron

  • Nws Flash for you, if torture did not work, nations would have given doing so long ago, hence, it is reasonable to conclude that it still works to a degree, duh.

    All you seem to know how to do is say them people are innocent, but how do you know for a fact they are innocent as they all claim, huh ? Are you physic or something ?

  • You missed my whole point in mentioning thos that spit on returning soldiers, as you the guy blabbering on this video & the people who did do the spitting have one thing in common, none of yu ever served in the military so have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

  • Wow. And you missed the part where I said CLOSE FAMILY IS IN THE MILITARY you dumb shit. So yes, yes I do. You are just proving how retarded you are, you know that?

    THOSE PEOPLE WERE INNOCENT. They knew nothing, government documents tell us that. They were tortured, and we got nothing. WE GOT NOTHING and we scared another human being to get us that. Are you blind? Torture us not moral, no matter what. You're trading our morals for nothing...

  • Evrything you listed there makes them active participants for the enemy, and as such, are deemed punisable under the current laws pertaining to warfare.

    Deal with the fact, they are feeding them, hiding them, housing them, lying & spying for them so do not ry they are innocent crap on me.

    Every patrol out troops went on, on the way out, people everywhere, on the way back, not one person could be seen & they would soon be hit, so that alone shows these people knew a hit was comming, duh.

  • Wow. Everything I listed where things the people the tortured DIDN'T DO. They are innocent. And they knew nothing. That was PROVEN. it was a FACT. Not speculation, a fact. In fact they were tortured so much they just made shit up so it would stop. So you deal with the fact that you think everyone who hasn't been in a war, or in a militant operation is ignorant. Even if it hits home because I have family who is. You're the insane one for assuming everyone other than you, knows nothing.

  • Obama should just fire them.

  • "This administration does not torture."

    "We cannot shame these CIA officers."

    - I love this government!

  • Obama will listen to these threats because they are all fronts. Obama is not an acomodationist unless you are talking about the American people. The Bankers and the Elite are the real chessmasters in the US and sadly i suspect that Obama is their knight. Obama, the Bushes, Clinton, Reagan and Carter are all the same animal with different fur. They are pawns to the Bildenberg Group. See the Obama Deception which is more like the Presidential deception because it isnt specifically about Obama.

  • Better watch what you ask for, it may very well be that someone on Bush's team is Protecting Obama

  • Some change this guy brought, he can overwrite Brennan if he wants to

  • Timothy Geithner. Oh you mean about the torture? Rahm Emmanuel.

  • YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 2 of the 3 are from MAINE: I am from Maine and i think we get it, I am am a republican from ME ...and we have a dem gov. and 2 gob sen. working wiith 2 libs House members.. but we are just out for what is best.. MAINE is the most open minded - do what is best for the U.S. I am a senior at Umaine and I think that the US and the world could do more listening to our point of view

  • cenk - I will give a video lecture for all of those narrow minded people who need to pick sides.. i am a rep... but I voted for Obama... just like 2/3 of this gob state did.

  • IF the Obama adminstration does'nt release these memos as soon as humanely possible then they are straight fucking stupid.

    THIS IS A GIANT BLUFF by the republicans. And they republicans will seize upon it if Obama is dumb enough to fall for it. They will say he is complicit in bush's crimes by his actions of covering them up and they will call Obama a flip-flopping hypocrite who's every word of "transparency" was a lie to the American people.

    And they will be right...

  • What in the hell has gone wrong with governance in this nation? Illegal immigrants get in front of citizens on college tuition and healthcare. Now Euros and Arabs and their opinions matter more to a sitting US president than those of the people who actually elected him. Welcome to the Bizarro States of America. Takes one brave S.O.B. to denigrate the country that elected him as President. Yep, his spine is made of steel alright when he is on foreign soil boot licking the Euro trash elite

  • While I don't particularly like Obama as a president, I can't help but call bullshit on some of the nonsense you're spewing. Firstly, illegal immigrants can't get into most - if not all - colleges in this country, therefore they can't get access to scholarships and grants. Lower income families get more access to financial aid, but tuition doesn't change unless it's in state vs. out state. And since when has Obama listened to foreigners more than US citizens? Examples, please?

  • I'm not trying to rag on you or anything, but there's plenty of valid complaints to be had without over-exaggerating things to oblivion and beyond.

  • Bush wasn't a lier, he was just doing what's necassary, like do questionable "enhanced interrogation" methods to only get faulty intelligence and claim to know everything going on in the Middle East.

  • Bush was just a stupid puppet, Cheney was the tyrant here.

  • hey...lier is spelled liar...welcome to america.

  • uuuuhhhh, sorry I guess.

  • HAHAHA! The truth can sting! Wow! The politics in the last year and a half has become like a storybook! You can make a movie series out of the dilemas that President Obama faces within his first 100 days!

  • You guys should prosecute the Bush administration NOW!

  • Cenk,

    You are absolutely right, the chips must fall where they may. A lesson must be learned and it must be clear to the world that we are a nation of laws and we do not torture. Ig Obama does not release these memos, then he (AND IT KILLS ME TO SAY THIS BECASUE IF LOVE WHAT HE HAS BEEN/DONE SO FAR) will be no better than Bush and his gang of tortures and he will have lied to the American people and the world.

  • The US has lost all moral authority!!

    The world sees and knows how you corrupt other nations leaders so you can rape their countries, if they don't fall for corruption you organize a coup(CIA), if that doesn't work, they die in a plane crash, When they can't be assasinated like Saddam or Chavez you orchestrate a reason for invasion. Your inmorality knows no horizons. Ecuatorial Guinea is an example of how you corrupt your dictators where people are enslaved with no rights whatsoever.

  • No matter what excuse anyone wants to give for kidnapping individuals,Judging them beforehand(terrorists),illegal­ly transporting them without the proper extradition protocol,breaking international law,and outright violating all human rights,These acts are ABOMINABLE and gives other nations the right to do the same to American Citizens. So now don't go complaining about how bad you'll be treated somewhere else, remember whatver it is the US has already done it.

  • There was a report recently about how the North Koreans have arrested/detained US journalists. When we asked them about how the jounalists are doing, their treatment, etc., we got back the answer "well, we are not Guantanamo" - so your point about making OUR citizens more vulnerable is spot on.

  • The U.S. brakes every rule it wants others to follow. No matter what excuse anyone wants to

  • Saudi Arabia is not a NATO member - it was Turkey that was blocking the election, and thankfully the next Nato secretary did NOT apolegize for the freedom of speech !

  • honestly I think Obama should watch these things because it helps him look at things in a different way

  • This is ridiculous. Those who supported and carried out orders to torture in our name and commit us to an unwanted war need to be held accountable and thrown into the fire.

    Brennen is nothing more than a political slug, contributing nothing but offal waste and slime to this world while he works in the CIA.

  • Geneva which are not rules but guidelines states that anyone caught on the battlefield w/o a uniform or military ID maybe shot and killed as a saboteur. So lets follow those guidelines and just execute them when we capture them instead of holding them in prisons... You libs are so contradicting cause at the same time you libs are trying to do away with the Death Penalty but yet want to follow the Geneva Convention... Make up your mind.

  • The problem is bush defined "the battlefield" as "the entire world" ... he fought terror, therefore "anyone that bush is afraid of (including american citizens) can be detained as prisoners of war with no constitutional rights.

  • If torturing one Arab will save one American life... All I got to say is Black is Positive and Red is Negative.

  • There are mountains of evidence that prove that torture is useless as an intelligence tool. If you'd ever taken a SERE course, you'd know that you'd say anything to stop the pain. In fact, we've had 'terrorists' talking, but not fast enough, so Bush made people torture him, after which he started spewing loads of useless nonsense.

    Torture doesn't save lives, and it puts us in a position where we can't complain when our OWN PEOPLE are tortured. Step up to the ideal, or get out of the game.

  • Obama is just going to go along with the CIA. Because if Obama goes against the CIA, they will kill him.

  • JACK BAEUR LOL

  • hey republican right wing bible thumpers take note....you will love this....you will reap what you sow....or maybe you did not read it, but trust me it's in there......like prego sauce...LOL!!!!!

  • good one...prago sauce :)

  • Obama is a philosopher-in-chief.

  • Also... to Ads by Google, nobody wants anything by Ann Coulter, whether it's free or not.

  • embarrass + shame=prosecute + jail

  • As much as I love Obama, have to agree that his tendency towards compromise in all cases is a weak spot. If he uses it well, as he did in Europe, it's a definite strength, but if he capitulates in every instance, it's a definite weakness and we all lose because of it. Let's wait and see what he does before passing judgment, though.

  • here here!

  • Knowing how to compromise and negotiate is not a weakness in any political sense. If anything, lacking the ability to conpromise is a far larger weakness. Being uncompromising put us in this position... we just had 8 years of it, remember?

    He's got 4 years. Give him that.

  • There's a difference between compromise and capitulation. I didn't say he should never compromise. I said if he compromises ALL THE TIME, it's a weakness. Of course, you are right when you say that the opposite, being UNcompromising in all situations is just as bad, if not worse. And I did say, let's wait and see before passing judgment. I'm left wondering if you read my comment carefully or just skimmed it?

  • I wasn't being snippy with you. ^_^

    Part of it was agreeing with you, give him his time to work on things. Maybe you read some negativity into it, or I could have written it better. But yes, I did read your comment.

  • Aww, stop crying for the people that would gladly kill anyone one of us given the chance, as it was not like he people being tortured ( if that is what you want to call it ) was in a battlefield selling sandwiches & soft drinks FFS.

    Cry me a river for them.

  • They weren't picked up in the battlefield at all, period. Over 805 of the detainees in Gitmo were sold to us by the Afghanis and Pakistanis for a bounty. Only 8% of the Gitmo detainees have been categorized as Al Qaeda soldiers. And that info is from government files. How about we torture you and see how much of a river you cry?

  • Save me you river of tears. If you think the Taliban loves you that much, go over there and live. Once you are there, rty to run your mouth as you are doing now, but hope you are not too emtional when they behead your ass. No freedom or free speach over there, and no appeals either.

  • Sphinx - First of all, who said I think the Taliban loves me? I love the civil liberties being in the US provides me - you would be willing to give up those liberties for NOTHING. What part of "they weren't picked up in the battlefield" do you not understand? What part of "even the government doesn't consider them to be Al Qaeda" do you not understand? You talk about terrorists and Taliban but we don't even know that they ARE terrorists or Taliban - we have no credible evidence against them.

  • Considering plenty of them were picked up under sketchy circumstances (such as kidnapped off the streets of Milan or detained while crossing the US-Canada border, not to mention the Afghan bounties technicschic mentions) and then held without any trial, how do you know they would gladly kill anyone of us?

  • You are the product of blind raising by a television, religion, and Fox news.

  • And you are blinded by an inability to realistically see to them, we are all the " enemy ", or do you not understand the word " infidel " ?

  • Oh my god. And do you understand the concept of there being innocent people near war? I was commenting on a person who said the people the tortured, were picked right off the battlefield and would kill us within the beat of a heart. No... Not ALL people want to kill us. And it's a fact that 8%... and only 8% of the people they tortured were actually Al Queda soldiers. Did you even bother to read the post I was replying to?

  • Did you ever watch Shawshank redemption ? In it is a scene where one new prisoner asks one of the convicts what he wa in for, & the reply was: " Don't you know everyone in prison is innocent ? "

    That about wraps up my viewpoint on the people they have rounded up & placed in a military prison, as of course all of them will claim they are innocent.

    Now, the question to you is, how do you know for a fact the people being held are telling the truth & not just lying to save thier own asses ?

  • The trouble with people like this guy talking & people like you is none of you have ever been in the military, but yet, you all consider yourselves to be experts on everything.

    OK, statistically speaking, maybe some are innocent, but them same statistics also show many are not innocent, but you all keep on crying them a river, as maybe next time the target might not be NYC, but your home town, which would be rather ironic were that to come to be.

  • As far as not being Al Queda soldiers, maybe not, but you can bet your ass they was supporting them at he very least, & in a time of war, that alone makes them guilty on something called colusion with the enemy, so again, they are not innocent.

    Look at what the French did while occupied by the Germans, sucked right up to them, with many being appointed to various taks by the invading army. These people are no different, save for the fact they help out of hatered for the US.

  • Yes, but they KNEW NOTHING. We tortured people, for nothing. I'm not crying at all. And the trouble with people like you is, not seeing the fact that others generally care, but can do little about it, so we voice our opinion, and you call us blind. Even if we have facts on our side. The person I replied too, didn't know that the people we tortured had nothing to do with them, and knew nothing. That's like saying I support abortion, so I know how to preform one.

  • Obama's Administration is soft on this stuff. They said they would be going in. No politics of revenge, etc. It bothers me, but I didn't expect real "Change" so it doesn't surprise me.

  • The rationale for always not holding the previous administration accountable is that the next administration does not want to be held accountable for whatever illegalities they intend to engage in.

  • I don't think it will happen. Goverment will not shame itself in front of the world going in to details about Bic Dic Cheaney and his minions bringing dishounor on our country..The powers to be just want let it get that far..In my opinion.

  • It ain't going to happen dude. Get a grip Cenk you do a nice job at making Democrats furious of Republicans but that surely wont solve any problems. You seem to think elephants and donkeys are like black and white and they are not!

  • I think Geithner is the decisive protector for the Bush-Team atm, and Obama himself. The moment the Cheney-Prosecution starts will be a signal to rghtwing warriors and start major rumours, which is an exploive and volatile influence in the ecnomic heat-up after a recession/depression.

  • lol

  • they are ALL protecting the bush team

  • Obama is not being accomodating. He is protecting the establishment.

    It's all a "Good Cop/Bad Cop" farse for the rubes.

  • embarass and ashame cia officers......or indict and imprison them LOL

  • Laughable.

    The Democrats are 4 seats away from a filibuster free senate. I wana see the republicans squirm through this cluster fuck during their midterm campaign.

  • head of cia isn`t such a great job, i read, cause everyone whines in your ears.

    the voting mess from years ago still not cleaned up. all the bushes in the right positions up to 911,

    still no 180 on that. (lewinsky report>$>911report)

    did al gore get the nobel price as rebuttal!?(4 oval) .... total cleanup pls, pls, pls

  • What a shame! Republicans have been totally a fascist party!

  • clean out the closet and start from scratch. only then we will be able to wipe the slate clean and start anew. I love Obama but sometimes he does play too nice. then again Im not in his position.

  • He's trying to change the system from within the system, which means it will come slow if it comes at all.

  • "Come to Papa."

  • LOL AAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • you are joking, right?

  • so whats more embarrassing? giving torture orders or being tortured?

  • more attention needs to be paid to this in the media, or the story will just go away :-/

  • nailed it. These republicans seem to have absolutely no sense for political manoeuvrings. They have absolutely no clout, and it is not an issue they want to publicly come out on the wrong side of.
