  • not a damn thing if he wants to continue living. The Bushes have too many crooked ties with the CIA, so that ain't gonna happen. It's just a smoke screen or bluff to make people think he's not part of the corruption that runs rampant in the US gov't.

  • May, will consider, could. Politician speak for never going to happen. 

  • What if after his signature initiatives are passed. What if he told Eric to wait until his campaign promises are passed. Save it for last.

  • Eric Holder sucks the sweat from Obaba's balls.

  • this is crap...waterboarding prevented an attack on L.A. and i dont know about you guys, but if some guy was killing people all around me and i had him cuffed to a wall...id torture him till death..

  • @xccmannx Hell yes.

  • @xccmannx Spoken like a true Christian Republican.

  • @iversonmatthew you talk to people about intelligence...

    and yet, you talk like you know me...im not a christian...and im not a republican.

  • @xccmannx Well you do like to torture people. Thats enough.

  • @iversonmatthew what would you do if you had a little girl taken hostage, and you had the guy tied to a chair...of course, he knows where she is..but hes not telling you..

    what the fuck would you do?

  • @xccmannx According to you, you torture the hell out of them. Sorry no hypothetical will make me say it's ok to torture.

  • @iversonmatthew wow.. of course id torture the hell out of them.. theyre terrorists.

  • @xccmannx Then you are as bad as them.

  • @iversonmatthew only in the eyes of a hippie!

  • @xccmannx Let's not forget the civillized world is against torture as well.

  • @iversonmatthew so you THINK that im not civilized?

  • @xccmannx no, I said that the civilized world is against torture.I made no mention of you. Pretty simple statement that is true beyond anything you could possibly say.

  • @iversonmatthew Haha...So, what am I if I'm not against torturing mass murderers to save lives?

  • @xccmannx You don't really want me to answer that.

  • @iversonmatthew If I didn't, I wouldn't have asked.

  • @xccmannx Your a little punk hell bent on torture. I would go further in detail but I won't get on your level.

  • @iversonmatthew HAH! You don't even know me. But please, do continue. You won't be stooping to my level..cause i don't talk shit about people that I don't even know..That's YOUR level.

  • @xccmannx yeah yeah whatever. Your irrelevant.

  • @iversonmatthew ?? how? come on.. just say what you think about me..im looking forward to it.

  • Holder won't investigate shit, he's a useless piece of shit like Obama

  • @haroldsmegma1 True,true.

  • Dissent is the greatest form of patriotism- Thomas Jefferson. Clueless dummies seem to think questioning our government is unpatriotic... ie the ones that HAVENT read the constitution.

  • if bush/cheny broke the law then they should be prosecuted.

  • @Riverwidow64

    To quote Jesse Ventura, "Gimme a waterboard, Dick Cheney, and one hour...."

    I'd pay to watch that.  :)

  • When will Mr. Holder investigate 911?!

  • Obama and Holder should be investigated and convicted themselves.

  • Whenever Obama's poll numbers go down (again) he march's out Eric Holder to say Hey let's get that Bush guy. This is getting old.

  • Anti American?

    It's anti American to look at breaches of American law?

    Anti American to investigate potential crimes under both international and american laws?

    Anti American to EXPECT AND DEMAND that the leaders of America do NOT breach their power, and that they do NOT breach basic civil rights, such as torture, illegal wire taps and so on?

    Don't confuse patriotism with apathy. Don't confuse "keeping us safe" with "exploiting our fears"

  • @bersaba

    Well said. You get a cookie.

  • Excellent, I like cookies.

  • Wimpy Obama cant tell idiot Holder dont go after the guys who kept us safe? What kind of sissyass admin is this. The previous admin does the dirty work and kick the ass of the people who attacked us and reduced them to clowns running n the mountains and Eric Holder has nothing else to do investigate them? Why dont he investigate the people who messed up the fannie and freddi loans? What if we get hit, what the damn hell are these bozos going to do?

  • hey dipshit, cheny and bush were in charge on 9/11, remember that...

  • hey rcastidiot, who was in charge when the WTC was hit the first time? And who was in charge when the USS Cole was hit? So, if you were not stupid, you would understand that when we did not respond with force under the Clinton admin, it embolden the enemy. 911 was 7 years in planning. So next time when you attempt to make a point, try to atleast put a thought behind it.

  • i forget, traitorous rat-faced zealots likie you have no idea whats contained in your own damned constitution.

    clown ass piece of trash

  • Dirty work is the problem.

    And Dubya and Satan....er, Cheney, broke laws and lied to us, therefore we nail them.....right to the wall.

  • Hey Castellan, simpleminded accusations without a reference does not make an argument. If you think waterboarding is torture thats your opinion. Your opinion or the Presidents opinion is not the final definition of what torture is. Hell, wimpy Holder might think that shouting at the terrorist could be torture. They told the penis bomber that he had the right to remain silent--oh yea, that is going to keep us safe.

  • @joskemom Right on the money again.

  • @joskemom Waterboarding is torture. Playing rhetorics about it doesn't make it ok. Bush and Cheney did lie to us and the world. They tortured people and this isn't a simple accusation, it is fact. Maybe you choose to act like a barbarian, but in the civilized world, we do NOT torture.

  • @iversonmatthew Hey iverson, ANYTHING that makes a terrorist uncomfy would be considered torture by you and the Obozo admin. If you call me a barbarian because I would run water up the nose of a killer to save thousands, well I am cool with that. Saving lives is more important to me than impressing girly minded wimps. Oh and the lying accusations, growup.

  • @joskemom I don't see how pissing the world off and creating more terrorists by torturing people is saving lives but ok whatever. Also, they did lie. You "growup".

  • @iversonmatthew hey matthew, the world is not pissed off because we put water up the nose of a killer. Khalid gave up names and info when we 'enticed him' to talk. So call it torture all you want, if you like maybe you can go to Gitmo and try to make freinds with them and join their religion and have them cry on your shoulder. I dont give a damn what you think.

  • @joskemom The civilized world does not approve of torture. Waterboarding is a known torture tactic by their standards. Also, I am a humanist and don't believe in mumbo jumbo, therefore why would I join them? I don't wish happy thoughts on them or anything. But seriously how can we bitch and complain when they torture our soldiers? I don't care if you give a damn what I think.. torture is always wrong. Nothing you can say justifies it.

  • @iversonmatthew hey, matt, you dont speak for the world because most nations would use anything in their means for self preservation. You being a humanist is mumbo jumbo if you are using that title to explain your position. And I will not try to justify my actions other than to say that if I felt I would get info to save lives from the killer, I would do things girlscouts would not do.

  • @joskemom I think the civilized world has spoken loud and clear on it. Also, I was saying it's absurd to "join" their religion when I don't believe in religion. You sound so proud to torture. Obviously we don't agree.

  • @iversonmatthew Hey iverson, read carefully, most nations will do anything to protect its people. I am not talking of cutting off some fools head. You equate waterboarding with torture. I am more concern with the protection of my people than the comfort of an enemy and to hell what the wimpy left thinks of it.

  • @joskemom Of course you don't care what the left thinks.. that's why we're in this mess.

  • @iversonmatthew well that makes no sense, matthew.

  • @joskemom Sure whatever. Go back to your Fox News and Rush Limbaugh.

  • @iversonmatthew why is it the left wingnuts always think people who dont agree with them listen to Fox News or Rush?

  • @iversonmatthew Torture Cenk the idiotCut off is tiny arab dickand shove it in his mouth

  • @biggerturtle Well I don't know how to respond to such ignorance so I will just ignore the following posts and just bid you good day sir.

  • @iversonmatthew after we cut out your tongue and hack off your ears

  • @iversonmatthew Waterboarding is pussy torture Cut out the eyes of radical muslim scum and burn their toes off That's real torture

  • @iversonmatthew Then let's nuke the whole arab middle east who treat women better than their camels KILL THEM ALL BUT HURT THEM FIRST CUT OFF THEIR ARMS AND BLIND THEM WITH KNIVES THEY WANT SHARIA LAW THEN LET"S SHOW THEM SHARIA LAW

  • Holder had a 50-minute interrogation with the Christmas Day (sorry I said Christmas, and didn't keep it politically-correct) terrorist. He is a joke. I hope the trial ends up in New York, and it is televised. Every time it's shown, it will be another nail in the coffin. Just like the hostages were shown over 400 days in '77 when Carter(another liberal) was in charge. The day Reagan got in office, the hostages were freed. That shows how weak liberals are compared to everyone else.

  • @Jagnole101 Yes......right on the money

  • anti american prick,go back to turkey

  • the democrats want our enemies to win

  • one terror attack & Obama is done !!!

  • P38FORK is a piece of shit.....

    anyways, if Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld get tried, I'd laugh when their old, rich asses get thrown in rich-people jail. And you know they'd suck cock for what they did, let's all face it. Because at the end of the day, they're old pussies who sent young men to die.

  • holder is piece of anti american shit

  • Anyone who thinks torture provides accurate and useful information, read what J. McCain said under torture: "I am a black criminal and I have performed the deeds of an air pirate," and he denounced America. Either torture causes false confessions or he was telling the truth. One or the other.

  • illegal obviously...

  • @P38FORK Some would say the same about you.

  • @iversonmatthew Thanks lib scum :)

  • @P38FORK Any time republican douchebag :)

  • @iversonmatthew Tell someone to let me know when you die so I can send flowers.:)

  • @P38FORK lol no I don't want a thing from people like you. Thank you though.

  • @iversonmatthew Don't you know......lib scumbags like you take everything from working people like us. :)

  • @P38FORK I have 3 degrees and I own my own business. I have even employed many, many people in my lifetime. Also, calling me a "lib" isn't an insult to me. I wear your insult with great pride.  Is derogatory statements really the best you can do? Is that all the intelligence you possess?

  • @iversonmatthew I only have 1 in engineering & design with 23 years at the largest power company in the east. I also have my own business. Many people do.Don't try the high road, you threw a few statements yourself. I also wear a hard conservative badge with pride. Less govt.,less taxes, more freedom, more growth for small business.Term limits for ALL elected officials.I don't hate you....some of the jabs were funny. We just don't see eye to eye on much.

  • yay

  • It is funny when the right winged radicals come out of the woodwork when it comes to losing any control or advantage over others, they start using fear and things they use against others to get people to back down out of fear, the last rethuglikkkan stand,,, lmao

    bunch of clowns.

  • wow you really don't get it. if we torture people under any circumstance there is no difference between us and them. We are not supposed to torture people, that is what makes us the good guys vs them (those who suposedly torture and kill innocent people). As a nation we are supposed to be law obiding and that includes international law. Keep in mind that we sentenced nazis to death for torturing people.

    Besides jack Bauer isn't real and torture doesn't work.

  • Nobody "deserves" to be tortured. How does that make anything better? If the person is that much of a problem, just kill it, then the world is safer. Obviously you want torture just to get your jollies on.

  • Yes because definetly they don't hold any information that may be helpful to us and even if they do, they'd probably just tell us without hesitation.

    They capture INNOCENT people, kill them on video tape, then post it on the internet. We capture the people responsible for this and obtain information from them by the only means they seem to co-operate under which is torture. How would you feel if a loved one was publicly executed? You'd probably want to harm them as much as possible.

  • innocent people have been jailed and torture at gitmo too.

  • Except we already know that torture does not yield valuable information. If you were captured by an enemy you despised and they were torturing you for information, would you tell the truth? Or would you tell plausible lies in hopes that the torture stops?

    Or what if you're an innocent caught up in the mess; wrong place, wrong time. You don't know anything, so your only recourse is to lie, and hope they stop torturing you.

    The idea that torture gets good information simply isn't true.

  • Taran - of coures torture gives good results. A combination of fear and torture has historically been an excellent tool for getting us not only an answer, but the EXACT answer we want to here.

    Just look at the Salem witch trials... how do you think we would have caught all those witches without a clever combination of fear and torture?? Check mate, lib-fool. Check mate.

  • Missmaria212,

    I doubt people will see the humour in your rather witty sarcastic post.

    Bloody witches!

  • no offence tyt, i love you guys, but why the fuck would going after that dickhead bush hurt the obama agenda? doesnt make sense...

  • you are the only news outlet not still reporting on mj Thank you'

  • I don't see why we should give a damn if Bush did torture those guys... He did what he thought was right at the time, and no one can blame him unless they too understand war. If YOU needed answers from those guys, what would you have done?

  • america doesnt torture- you dipshit, thats why we should give a damn... needed answers? yeah whatever dickbreath... what "answers" did we get?

  • I don't know what answers we got, I'm sure they're classified. You're a liberal, correct? Why call me dickbreath? I thought you guys were open minded and accepting of gay people. You wouldn't know what we would or wouldn't do if you were in the same spot because you're quite out of touch with reality, you need to quit your bitching and suck it up. Only when you've been there and done that... that's when you can make judgments. Until that time, stay out of his business.

  • They don't investigate themselves we all know Bush isn't going anywhere get over it.

  • And that isn't in any way troubling to any of you Americans? That your Government has set a precedent that it is above the Law, and any crimes committed by it will not be investigated by the following administration. That sounds dangerously close to Totalitarianism.

  • Totalitarianism

    wikipedia is your friend. You don't know what it means.

  • I know exactly what it means. Answer this for me. Are taxes voluntary?

  • Anyone who's ever actually lived through a totalitarian regime probably wants to smack you upside the head right about now.

  • Answer my question. What happens if you don't pay taxes? The exact same thing that happens in every totalitarian rule, a group of guys with guns will take you out. Same in every country.

  • "A group of guys with guns will take you out" for not paying your taxes? Wow. you're off your rocker.

    You have a very silly, very bizarre idea of what constitutes totalitarianism.

  • The Elite want this, they do not want to share the table or booty with the likes of Bush, Cheney and so many others, the Elite have had their plans for 100's of yrs and it took the lack luster Americans and their total greed to ruin everything. The upper middle class wants to be rich, the rich want to be Wealthy, the Wealthy are always trying to usurp the Elite. The rest of us are fauder.

  • fry Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the rest of them on a stake

  • I really wish this guy would stop considering taking action and actually TAKE action!

  • Holder doesn't have the balls to investigate either Cheney,Bush or Rove...the scum bastards should all be tossed in jail! The main reason nothing will ever come of any of these crimes is that the Dems are as crooked as the other side!

    They are all freaking Power hungry elite cons. Don't trust anyone in Washington!

  • Thats why I'm libertarian... but im sure given the right loot thrown at them they would be courrupted as well :\ sucks.

  • Why don't you dig up JFK and Johnson for their war crimes in Nam?

  • This is ALL Obama !!

  • I believe the both of them are currently dead.

  • they weren't in custody, they were not being held prisoner. The bomb was a coup d'grace on a foreign nation to end a war, not an attack on unarmed prisoners.

  • I like hillbillies that put flags all over their SUV's , but when you ask them why they need guns the first thing the recite is the need to protect themslves from the poterntial tyrrany of their own government!

  • I love it when hillbillys make broad , sweeping generalizations about all liberals!

  • It's strange that liberals think that waterboarding terrorists to save innocent lives is torture and absoluty wrong when they call killing innocent babies just a 'choice' and support it fully

    This is why liberals have no moral ground to stand on and why they will never go anywhere in life

  • what about the japanese that we put in jail after WW2 for waterboarding. or the fact that the US has droped bombs durring the war in iraq that has killed and injured many young childeren. where is your outrage over that. oh thats right abortion is the worst thing ever ever EVER

  • He's dead, the Bush Adm. isn't. I think that's where the major difference in approach stems from.

  • This is actually a smart political move, if all else fails or succeeds (Healthcare, economy etc) then they can trump this back up.

    Nothing new here, politics as usual.

  • Holder investigate Bush !!! Naaa

    "The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis" Dante

  • "may"

    "consider"

    Yeah it's not going to happen. Don't get your hopes up.

  • The preceding three posts were in response to specific comments posted earlier (yesterday), which aren't seen because of youtube's terrible message board format.

  • Eric Holder does not care about the law!!! Eric Holder Dropped Charges on Black Panthers for Voter Intimidation simply because they didn't respond to the charges. There was clear and convincing evidence to the charges. He didn't do his job in regards to the BP. I am guessing he can bring the charges against Bush however if attorneys do not respond, then he will have to drop the charges.

  • What is your point?

  • The fact that he's, "checking the tempurature", shows that he lacks the convictions to go through with this on his own. Any efforts to actually bring charges and prosecute prominent Bush staffers have huge potential to blow up in this administrations face. If charges are brought, they will most certainly be leveled against some mid level flunky who will be used as a scapegoat to show the world we are a just society. No changes will come and we will have become an even more divided nation.

  • The question is: how best do we let it be known that we support Holder doing an investigation?

  • may or will?

  • this is the trump card the Democrats are holding on to in case the economy doesn't improve, unemployment continues to rise and healthcare can't get done and they fall out of favor with the people who voted them in office and then they'll use it to try to get back in the good graces of the people. Politics as usual.

  • is saddam was alive the USA would not have wasted billions of dollars, lost thousands of soldiers and killed millions of civilians and there would be practically no terror or chaos in iraq.

  • Okay, you can't even spell. Just stop paying attention to politics and world events. You're too stupid for them.

  • mispilling counnnts as mega stupadiitee and leeder's causing too thousand people to die is just minor error deduction of statistics.the typist pays the most in price by spending 20 minutes typing this out on 2 and a half sheets of A4 paper

  • This is not up for debate.

  • I totally agree. Torture is unacceptable. The Founders would shit.

  • why?

  • Yeah he "may" or he "may not" I'm going to go with may not on this one.

  • "Eric Holder May Investigate Bush for Torture"

    lmao no he won't he will chicken out

  • Just another distraction by B.O's embarrassed admin. to hide his terrible economy, Trillion dollar deficit, 10-15% unemployment, and failed trip to Russia. Oh, and teleprompter thing was totally set up as another distraction.

    Oblama is an absolute disaster!

  • Hey Zile77, a large chunk of that trillion dollar deficit came from Bush's military deficit spending combined with 2 tax cuts (which BTW was predicted to cause bankruptcy by his first treasury secretary and was the reason he resigned) mainly for a war that was far from necessary. The unemployment rate is a direct result of the economy Bush and congressional democrats and republicans created. The spending undertaken by B.O. is also the direct result of this and would of taken place regardless.

  • It is amazing to me. Amazing, that liberals, are still blaming Bush for everything. Claiming Bush tortured people when they have no facts. Three people, three were waterboarded. Three. Does anyone else see this for what it is. Obama is not doing well. Have to make Bush out to be the bad guy to keep attention away from the still crippled economy.

  • What about the rape (including sodomy) and other sexual misconduct that took place at Abu Grahib as confirmed by Major General Antonio Taguba who oversaw an investigation of the pictures documenting these acts? What about the taxi driver at Bagram Airbase whose legs were pulpified from constant beatings and subsequently died of a pulmonary embolism as a direct result (the military coroner actually classified the death as a homocide)? The man was later found to be falsely accused by his neighbor.

  • No, dshct, Americans are blaming Bush and his admin for the wrong they did. If they're innocent the prosecution will fail, but they need to be prosecuted.

  • dshct, ". Amazing, that liberals, are still blaming Bush for everything"

    Are you suggesting that we should go back to blaming Clinton, instead?

  • he was in charge for 8 years, haha. i dont see why we SHOULDN'T blame him and cheny.

  • fuck bush, fuck america, fuck the world. we all should DIE !

  • holy shit and i thought i was the only one that's sane

  • ...and we all will

  • If I rob a Bank and kill someone in the process what would I get?

    Bush, Cheney and company killed between 4 and 6 thousand Soldiers and more then 100 thousand innocent Iraqi man, woman and children for the fun of it! Is this American justice? The Turks are still blamed for killing the Armenians and the Nazis still paying for killing the Jews. I dont think Pr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton can improve the image of the USA in the World without bringing Bush, Cheney and company to Justus.

  • Holder should investigate every administration starting with George Washington and moving up from there

  • lol

  • Dude the reaction is simple. Most are for it yet the (R) and FOX will come out and be pissed then their "followers" will come out and be pissed resulting in at least a 70:30% for and against.

    I say do it for one VERY SIMPLE reason. Keep the republican idiots occupied. Give them something to be pissed off about then at least FOX and the general public will be less concerned about anything else and you can push your agenda more easily

  • Obama has said that he's open to the possibility so long as it's done in an impartial manner. So he never said he wouldn't do it.

    Of course personally I don't think Bush ever broke any laws myself. How can a president break laws? They make the law afterall.

  • The president makes the law? What does the legislative branch do?

  • Well nothing the department of law protect Bush I thought...

  • Actually, they don't "make the law."

  • Drag those criminals into court they are class A war criminals.

  • God I hope this happens

  • Enhanced interrogation might be useful in getting the truth out of Cheney.

  • Should he move forward?.....OF COOURSE!

  • Go Eric!

    He has to do it for the sake of history.

  • Pack off Bush and Cheney to be tried by the International Court at The Hague.

    It won't be the first time that War Criminals have been tried at The Hague.

  • criminaljustice(dot)change(dot­)org/actions/view/charge_previ­ous_administration_for_war_cri­mes

  • The Hague thus far hasn't expressed any interest in doing so just moon bats like you do and you don't have the authority.

  • We don't have a treaty allowing the Hague to conduct tribunals like this on US nationals. However, Congress can and SHOULD convene one domestically.

  • mmhhhhm

  • doesnt america belong to the people? Why allow obama to hide the truth and let criminals like bush walk free.

  • yeah someone needs to look into this cause things just don't add up when it cames to bush.

  • 2:50 Obama Looks Like He Wants To Kill Holder. LOL

  • LOL You Are Soo Lame. What Year Is This ? Bringing Up Old Ass Campaign Smears. There Are A Whole New List Of Smears You Could've Used. Get Up To Date, Stop Living InThe Past.

  • why are u watching this if its lame...

  • I Was Talking To SinkingHombre, Mind Your Business.

  • He's Been President For 7 Months Now, Let It Go. If It's True, It's Definately Not An Issue.

  • How pathetic, Cenk's still trying to remain relevant now that Bush is out of office

  • I wish they'd stop talking about investigating Bush & just FUCKING DO IT!

  • seriously him and Cheney

  • Can I get a Hallelujah?
