Have you ever tried to swim under water in a 25 meter pool? You come up on the other end and gasp for air. Just think if some one on the other end grabbed you by the shoulders and held you under as you were coming up for air. That would be truly invigorating.
Protected from terrorists? Haha. That's rich. More people die from heart disease each year. Fellow citizens. If anyone attacks us, it won't be "terrorists", it will be your own government. Wake up!
as an American i can say its not easy to fight back against the government. Remember we are a young country of liars who pretent to be christian. I'm in Sweden right now and this place really kicks ass but on the issue of the Bush administration, these cocksuckers are dug in.
WASHINGTON - The United States mistakenly sent Taiwan four fuses used to trigger nuclear warheads on ballistic missiles in late 2006 and only discovered the error last week, the Pentagon said Tuesday.

Looks like the US can't secure its "war on terror" from itself.
if we are not torturing why are we sending suspects to syria and morocco..countries that the us puts on terrorist list..and they know they torture..so bush is right we dont torture here
Very good questions, keep them coming! at least utill they exclude you. But hey, don't beat her up too badly it's her job to lie to us and she is TERRIBLE at it and I like it that way!
She answer the question! The question should stop but no the media is trouble makers .UMM nation security on what we have found out about terrorist and she is clearly being being
hit. Just more secular lib media crap trying to make the news .
these are important questions. A liberal democracy who defines their principles the way America does should not resort to torture methods. I'm happy these reporters went as far as they did. There is no excuse.
Question 1: "The definition of what's permissible is so expansive, that you could say we don't torture and almost anything could be true falling into that." What do you say to that?
-
Question 2: "Where is the line between, 'harsh', but legal interrogation and torture?"
Press Secretary, response: "Look 'I 'er 'aah the experts have debated that, 'aah they have come up with an opinion it is there for everyone to see ~ " - "I don't have the I don't have the document with me ~ "
Dana Perino, (White House Press Secretary), "I do think that it is appropriate that applications of the laws and techniques are held are kept secret and I don't think providing those to the American Public 'would would serve them well.
I can tell you what torture is: depriving sleep, food, and other. Also whatever it takes to find where these mthrfkers are. HOWEVER, this lady must deliver the info without getting emotional.
when dana gets up there, she should wear a pearl necklace,it would be extremely distracting for the male reporters and they would stop asking the difficult questions
I think responding like a kindergarten child is the JOB of the press sec. but she's much more emotional than the previous nit wits. She looks like she'll crack some time soon. Then she'll get impeached for lying *(which is what she's gotta do for her boss - thats the other part of her job).
A few years from now you'll see her smiling on Orprah with a book explaining 'what happened'.

The sad thing about it is this... thru media we as a country have become lazy, blinded and afraid. Afraid that our government will crush us if we say anything. I would urge you to not be afraid and to march against every last thing our country promotes. Why? you ask.. cause they promote nothing but filth and ignorance. The US has been dumbed down and thats what they want, don't give it to them.
I wonder if the founding fathers were here today... would they sit idle, and would they "file complaints to the state reps." or would they send someone to gather a militia to fight the tyrants which we talk about everyday.
The X Amendment states that we have the power, not them. You all know our ballot system is fixed, big brother will have in office who he wants.
V Through VIII, define how these scenarios should be handled, however we instead use the "Detainee Treatment Act of 2005" which was agreed upon by the House, Senate and Bush...

The ranting and raving of a few libeals about so called torture is pathetic. Youre allowed to do this because Bush kept you safe. You show disrespect to the country with your baloney but you have the right to be fools.
wrong again. the first bombing of the towers started under clinton. Bush was only in power for a tiny fraction of al queda's build up. Clintons policies of appeasing terror caused 911. Also, he was a typical whoremongering liberal egotist like Kennedy.
Like we're going to win the war based on torture....
Actions like these only justify al-Qadea's existence and suicide bombings in the Middle East. You cannot defeat any insurgency on native soil this way. All you have to do is look at history to see this.
The Bush administration is doing everything al-Qadea wants. Destroying this country's moral principles, our civil liberties, and our economy.
a March 2003 legal memorandum that President Bush was not bound by either an international treaty prohibiting torture or by a federal antitorture law because he had the authority as commander in chief to approve any technique needed to protect the nation's security.
"One of the biggest blows to human rights has been the attempt of Western democratic states to roll back some fundamental principles of human rights - like the prohibition of torture...The U.S. administration's double speak has been breathtakingly shameless." - Amnesty International's Secretary-General Irene Khan, 5/07
We don't torture but we do physically abuse and pretend to drown prisoners of war. This is pure double speak. George Orwells 1984 is alive and well and exists in USA 2007. George Bush is Big brother and this lady speaks for the ministry of truth.
The key word in this press conference is "we" don't torture. We let the other countries do it for us. Although we capture the terrorists and fly them to the torture camps.
e Convention against Torture defines torture as "any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession...."
Thousands of cases pending against the US on torture..Geneva and the European Union, Red Cross have conclusively found that the US tortures!! Hello!! Abugraib, Guantanomo, secret torture sites all over the world by the US!!! Hello..This is just a futile attempt to clean up Americas image domestically..Everybody knows outside the US!!!
Question: "Where is the line between, 'harsh', but legal interrogation and torture?"
Dana Perino, (White House Press Secretary), response: "Look 'I 'er 'aah the experts have debated that, 'aah they have come up with an opinion it is there for everyone to see ~ " - "There is a public document for ever ~ " "I don't have the I don't have the document with me ~ "
"I do think that it is appropriate that applications of the laws and techniques are held are kept secret and I don't think providing those to the American Public 'would would serve them well.
40 years ago today, Che Guevara died (before being Tortured by a certain US - CIA).
"He thought it was right to use weapons for one's believes. Today he'd been marked as a terrorist." - Thomas Gustafsson, Aftonbladet (quote translated by me:))
("Han ansåg att det var rätt att ta till vapen för sin sak. I dag hade han blivit stämplad som en terrorist.")
it is hitting home now people are seeing that are government is fucked up, next they will TRY and take our guns away and our liberties, torture WTF, i think satan has been released and he is in the white house....
and she doesnt know...ya right...I too would like a definition and this whole secrecy crap is getting annoying, this is human rights and I want to know what the heck we are doing to others so I will know when to take action...something smells
It definitely doesn't BROADEN the definition of "torture". It NARROWS the definition of torture!
President Bush's definition of torture is "if you take a man's balls and slice them off and then feed them to the subject while taking a metal rod and inserting the hot rod into the man's ass."
Wh corps finally getting mini balls back. However, do not be fooled, the MS press is still toting the quesling Bush Regime line.. Scare and terrorize Americans into surrendering constitutional rights. The Bush regime and its accompliaces are criminals. It is that simple.
Looks like Dana is going through some torture at this press briefing. Girl is getting owned in a big way. This chick wont last 6 months. I cant wait for video of her drunken binges hit the air.
The last messages refer, or may refer, to the cancelled government corporation entitled the "Legal Services Corporation." This is to entail an agreement with the press, that certain matters will be kept off the record. This is not to involve, or should not involve, foriegn matters, or foriegn policy, unless necassatively so. This was, and should be, part of domestic policy.
Torture is a terrible way to get information, and any information you do get will probably be inaccurate. The CIA has found much better ways of eliciting information from prisoners, such as pretending to befriend the prisoner, or a good cop bad cop vibe. Also how can this administration keep so many secrets, yet use NSA technology to spy on its citizens? Hypocritical evil bastards!!
Some people torture, some people use the law. What do the American people, the press, celebrities, and others, have at their disposal, when it comes to getting tortured?
Torture has to be defined on an international level;is sleep deprivation torture;loud music?disorientation?In a war of information,we can't be giving prisoners lollipops;on the other hand,if the US doesn't draw a clear line against torture,no other major power ever will,either;and that's bad news for the world.
Sen. Joe Lieberman detected 110,000 new terrorists, the Iranian Revolutionary Gauards, and has passed a bill in the US Senate empowering General Petraeus to hunt them down in Iran and bring them back to the Murray Coal Mines in Utah for incarceration.
Dana is nothing more or less than a PPL (Pretty Paid Liar). I wonder how much she gets paid for this stuff? Probably more than a common prostitute....huh??
Pretty lady. <3 <3 <3 I believe everything she tells me.
Seriously though, the media is just on a witch hunt. If Rockafeller says he is getting more info from the NY Times, which is fish wrap of a newspaper, than he is from the White House then it is because he ignores what the White House tells him and is lying in order to discredit the Bush administration. Believe it!
"One of the thing's he's really concerned about is that everyday that we get farther away from 9/11, that people will start forgetting the threats that we're under."
How can we? You won't let us! We are kept in a constant state of fear, with warning levels and newscasts on how the next bomb could be just around the corner. Control by fear must be nice...
she acts as if other countries dont know all the torture techniques. What?..the USA is the torture technique capitol of the world?(well one of them at least) Al Quaeda is still scratching their finger nails on chalkboards for their torture technique and if she says what we are doing, Al Quaeda will here her and start training for it. WHAT A BUNCH OF CRAP.
9-11....!?....What if one of the information kept "Secret" is that our President knew ahead, about an attack on 9-11-01. But kept quiet because he needed pubic support for his plans to invade Iraq? Which was outlined since the day of his inaugeration.
We already know the answers. Waterboarding is OK. Head slaps are OK. Sleep deprivation is OK. Prolonged exposure to cold is OK. All this shit is already out there. If al qaeda wants to "train" for it they just stick a guy in a freezer for an hour, slap him in the head real hard a few times, wrap a wet rag over his mouth and nose and hang him upside down. Now he is able to resist our interrogators? Obviously something else is in those memos they don't want the public to know about.
Crazy. The circular logic on display here is mindboggling. By the end, I though she was actually going to cry, which would have shocked me, as I don't think these guys are capable of mimicking human emotion. Well...unless it's their ass on the line.
"I think that it's appropriate that application of the laws...are kept secret."
I mean, how can you even begin to question the, "we have laws, but you can't know what they are" logic?
you can't "...specifically intend to cause great bodily harm..."
i ain't a lawyer, but that "intent" thing seems to be a huge loophole. ... "sorry you're dead, i was only INTENDING to elicit some information." ... "i INTENDED to simulate drowning, too bad you actually drowned"
they torture ! They already admitted it and posted the pictures. They were on are every news outlet from paper to cable and internet news sites. WTF! How do they keep getting away with this shit!!
Who gives a shit - she's a lying shill for a criminal administration. Beauty is only skin deep, and hides the ugliness within. But so long as you concentrate on looks instead of content, the Bush administration has achieved its goal.
Another good job by Mz. Perino. She is really good at talking in circles and not giving anything up. This is her finest hour. Sad however that her talent is being used to cover up terrible human rights violations and other numerous "questionable practices" of the Bush administration. Interestingly, unlike the president, she is smart enough to know how the shit she is slinging sounds to intelligent people. Eerie echoes of Orwell.
That's a mighty tangled web you've got there, Dana. You sound just like a lying, murderous character out of a Jim Thompson novel. My favorite is The Getaway, but any one of his books will describe you just fine, sweetie.
It's critically important that these "techniques," be kept secret because otherwise this entire administration could be prosecuted for war crimes. Yeah, Dana, we get it.
this lady is a moron.if they what to lie to americans bush should find a better liar.prison is where the exec. branch should be.and all the people that left under a shadow,rummi ashcraft rove and all the others that destroy america under a shadow of saving us.wake americans!its all bullshit and we are all doomed if this keeps up . good luck america well need it
Impeachment is NOT enough! Bush and Company need to be put on trial for WAR CRIMES against the American people and against humanity! The only way for America to redeem herself in the eyes of the world is to put these traitors on trial! Bush and his henchmen are destroying OUR country! The American people DO NOT CONDONE TORTURE, nor do they condone BLACKWATER!
What are left when Republicans, Democrats, Greens, Libertarians no longer have the power of the Vote. Where Pluralism has taken control of the country, its founding document, its military, its voice, its ears and eyes.
There is no line. If they torture the truth enough, they can torture anyone they wish for any reason they wish. We could just test this stuff on the admin and see what they think then. Seems line the White House is harming the country quite alot.
LOL, examine these briefings with Either of Obama's current press secretaries and you can see the clear differences in professionalism. Now any so called "Tough questions" get answered with mockery of the question or dismissal. Not to mention they stammer through the entire press briefing. No one hammers the left like this, they cannot take a hint. Should take their own advice and and MOVEON. They may squeal the loudest, but they are the minority. Clueless lefties....

A team of administration lawyers concluded in
Yes we do torture this in the New York Times
a March 2003 legal memorandum that President Bush was not bound by either an international treaty prohibiting torture or by a federal antitorture law because he had the authority as commander in chief to approve any technique needed to protect the nation's security.

"One of the biggest blows to human rights has been the attempt of Western democratic states to roll back some fundamental principles of human rights - like the prohibition of torture...The U.S. administration's double speak has been breathtakingly shameless." - Amnesty International's Secretary-General Irene Khan, 5/07

We don't torture but we do physically abuse and pretend to drown prisoners of war. This is pure double speak. George Orwells 1984 is alive and well and exists in USA 2007. George Bush is Big brother and this lady speaks for the ministry of truth.

It definitely doesn't BROADEN the definition of "torture". It NARROWS the definition of torture!
President Bush's definition of torture is "if you take a man's balls and slice them off and then feed them to the subject while taking a metal rod and inserting the hot rod into the man's ass."
Anything outside of this is NOT torture.

The last messages refer, or may refer, to the cancelled government corporation entitled the "Legal Services Corporation." This is to entail an agreement with the press, that certain matters will be kept off the record. This is not to involve, or should not involve, foriegn matters, or foriegn policy, unless necassatively so. This was, and should be, part of domestic policy.

Torture is a terrible way to get information, and any information you do get will probably be inaccurate. The CIA has found much better ways of eliciting information from prisoners, such as pretending to befriend the prisoner, or a good cop bad cop vibe. Also how can this administration keep so many secrets, yet use NSA technology to spy on its citizens? Hypocritical evil bastards!!

We already know the answers. Waterboarding is OK. Head slaps are OK. Sleep deprivation is OK. Prolonged exposure to cold is OK. All this shit is already out there. If al qaeda wants to "train" for it they just stick a guy in a freezer for an hour, slap him in the head real hard a few times, wrap a wet rag over his mouth and nose and hang him upside down. Now he is able to resist our interrogators? Obviously something else is in those memos they don't want the public to know about.

Another good job by Mz. Perino. She is really good at talking in circles and not giving anything up. This is her finest hour. Sad however that her talent is being used to cover up terrible human rights violations and other numerous "questionable practices" of the Bush administration. Interestingly, unlike the president, she is smart enough to know how the shit she is slinging sounds to intelligent people. Eerie echoes of Orwell.
