Hearing on Torture with Addington & Yoo: Nadler's Questions

[jagara1]

Just looking at this chap - his mannerisms scream LIAR!

[MeechiganBoy]

Smart guys no doubt about it

[killaxm]

Dude guy is the shit! Addington is the man

[peteykkk]

Is Nadler the fattest politician ever, or is there a fatter pig! He makes Michelle obama look like a spring chicken! And shes over 200 lbs.

[phillipmarch22]

His arrogance is hiding a very scared and insecure man.

[phillipmarch22]

Whenever you hear a politician, (worse yet an attorney), say, "to the best of my recollection".... you know what ever they say after that is a lie!

[SkyDaddy7]

The two most feared men in the Bush Admin. are Cheney and his pit bull Addington...We need to bring these criminals back in front of congress for everyone to see!!!

[FanatikJ]

06:44 is the part about torturing children.

[dubya85]

They arnt answering it because they know it is legal to do so

[noinlair]

That guy is a dick. How hard is it to say that torturing someones kid is or should be illegal?

[jjlinert]

Why doesn't CNN cover this? (I know FUX GNUS won't even touch this.) Pretty scary and sad stuff here.

I sincerely hope Obama & his team try to change this policy. Unfortunately,

Obama is taking Bush's top military appointments like Gates. I am a bit disappointed but I still like Obama. Hope Obama will have his own voice & be able to express his true feelings. He's a decent man.

[sprintlawler]

I hope this prick is hung for war crimes

[badgeless]

what an arrogant prick

[zonesmuggla]

Yoo is a lap dog.

[heydrich10]

if this is victory accomplished God help us from defeat.

[Xandrino]

By law they can be hanged for treason, fraud, human rights violation

[modustype]

This is why The Congress is referred to as 'the invertebrate branch'.

[ATrueSriLankan]

Wow this man is so arrogant.

[Steadno]

Addington and Yoo would look good w/a rope around their necks!

[covertone81]

I'm not a lawyer or anything but I do believe they managed to go through that entire hearing without actually answering one single question.

[bitherwack]

Good going Mr Conyers! It must have been very frustrating.

Nancy Pelosi needs to consider contempt proceedings on Rove, and impeachment proceedings on Bush/Cheney.

Impeachment is an essential check on the Executive branch to assure balance. It is authorized by the Constitution. It is REQUIRED to be used in event of an abusive president. It is the only check on a tyrant, and if it isnt on the table the Legislative branch is not doing its Constitutional duty.

Demand Executive accountability

[Steadno]

Addington's WAY too cocky!!!

[z8it]

Hang these Nazi bastards!

[heydrich10]

I do not know if you are insulting Nazis.

Nazis did not say they care about human rights or Geneva Convention. And to give them the credit they did not mask it with freedom crap.

[JerezJulio]

the hearing should be open ended, that why these war criminals have to answer the questions and stop filibustering the questions.

[GerryO54]

The Democratic party in Congress is a disgrace to our country. We have the right to protect ourselves and our definition of torture is much less than cutting off peoples heads. Nadler is using this for propaganda and political points. I do not understand how a person like Nadler is still elected to office. Wake Up - they are stealing away our rights and giving them to non-citizens who want to destroy our great way of life.

[vyoorm]

How about partial beheadings for Addington, et al (a la Saudi Arabia)? Then they could just gurgle in response to questions...

[hockingcounty]

Mr. Addington needs some instant karma! He is disgusting.

[Nominay]

All Yoo tries to do is run out the clock by not, in effect, saying anything. I hate him.

[McKoosa]

Pure anadulterated EVIL............Wowzer!

[bitherwack]

Speaker Pelosi, Impeachment is a Constitutional tool to ensure the balance of powers between the three branches of government. In taking it off the table, you have taken the teeth out of the authority of the Legislative branch in ensuring accountability of the Executive branch.

You, Nancy Pelosi, as an elected representative and speaker of a representative body need to start representing your constituency, and your Oath of Office to protect the Constitution

Will you stand for Accountability?

[Nominay]

I agree - Pelosi took "impeachment off the table" for purely political reasons. But then again, just about everything she does is through the lens of purely political reasons. If that means the Constitution is inconvenient, well, then we can't have that!

[JhoffaX]

Ditto every word you said.

The 110th is a humiliation and a blight upon this nation for many reasons, the greatest of which is the refusal to even attempt to hold our War Criminal in Chief accountable.. In any way, what.so.ever.

Sadly, it seems members of our (ahem) "adversarial" "Two Party system" have learned that cooperation is more profitable for them than competition.

It's a disgrace. These people are traitors. They don't deserve to pick up cans in DC, let alone legislate.

[bitherwack]

So true Jhoffa, if this were a parlimentary system, at least there would be an 'opposition party' that would recognise its role, and dissolve the 'parliament' with a vote of no confidence. And the war criminals would be kicked out on their liquified assets.

[jonjonzero]

I wonder how this will end...no doubt with the dems caving again and more criminals living wealthy happy lives after screwing us over for 7 years. With all that's not getting done, it takes quite some nerve to post this.

[kac56]

addington is an arrogant asshole...

[BIBIchgo]

what a dog and pony show.

[thebronze]

Addington is awesome! He makes Conyers, Cohen, Nadler, etc., look like the idiots they really are. Obviously, being smart isn't a requirement for being a congress-person. Nancy Pelosi is one of the dumbest.

[newmac]

"As I indicated".... scary language; designed to look extremely serious. It isn't. It equals; "I said".

[spiderbaby1958]

This is like Clinton's "it depends on what 'is' means", except that this time, the cocksucker is the one evading the questions.

[palaround]

Addington's conscience is so dirty and his ego is so overblown that he's close to cracking. Yoo feels that he can hide behind the law and his cleverness. These are the men who wrote the legal rationalization for torture of detainess - a violation of national and international law - they have guilt written all over them.

[BrotherBabylon]

I must admit, watching these Addington related videos makes me reconsider how I feel about waterboarding. Congress is demonstrating admirably that standard questioning is pointless against terrorists like Addington and Yoo.

[BIBIchgo]

Now that's funny and clever!!!! Very perspicacious of you.

[mcoldskool]

He is a war criminal.

[VirusFromOuterSpace]

addington is a monster

[dougzilla]

Addington is a masterful weasel. I wish I was God for a few minutes, him and Yoo would be first in line for a bolt of lightning. These guys are nasty work.

[mutt36]

Addington is not doing well. This is so pathetic. LIAR He'll end up selling them out to save his own ass.

[fermium77]

Amazing how many words these guys can use without saying anything.

[bootpdx]

why do they have to always follow the clock? All defendants know that there is only a certain amount of time for these hearings, so all they have to do is run out the clock. Why not just hold the hearing for as long as it takes?

[wiskawind]

Impeachment my friggen ASS! Bush/Cheney and all their henchmen including Bush's WAR Witch Rice and Rummy need to stand trial for WAR CRIMES committed against the American people and against humanity!

[DamNationDiplomat]

"Uhhhhh...UHHHHH...Mr Chairman, my recollection...first of all" GOD i love watching those bastards squirm on the hook, but, seriously, is the DOJ going to do anything about this? Is this guy going to get a slap on the wrist and a book deal or do i get to see him in an orange jumpsuit like the common criminal he is? Why is it that when a group of petty thieves get caught robbing the mini mart they're tackled, cuffed, and jailed, but white-collar criminals get embarassed and quietly fired?

[HomoGeneyes]
