Bush needed evidence to link Saddam to Al Qaeda, and he used 'enhanced interrogation techniques' designed to produce lies in order to get it. What does this prove? It proves that Bush was not just incompetent, he was willfully & criminally incompetent.

Now we must wait & see if the Dept.of Justice will do its job. Prosecute the bastard and his gang of self-confessed criminals.

Worst administration in the history of the USA. Ever.

If the Bush administration didn't think they were torturing prisoners, then why did they insist on immunities for torture be added to the 2006 Military Commissions Act?

google: ' Kwiatkowski & New Pentagon Papers ' for the complete document.

Since the US intelligence community wasn't giving BushCo the evidence they needed to go to war with Iraq, Donald Rumseld set up the "Office of Special Plans" to cherry pick evidence that was given to Congress to 'justify' Bush's war in Iraq. Thus Congress gave Bush the green light based on manufactured and misrepresented evidence.

(cont): "I witnessed neoconservative agenda bearers within OSP usurp measured and carefully considered assessments, and through suppression and distortion of intelligence analysis promulgate what were in fact falsehoods to both Congress and the executive office of the president. " - Lt. Col. Kwaitkowski

[im4wur]

(cont): "I saw a narrow and deeply flawed policy favored by some executive appointees in the Pentagon used to manipulate and pressurize the traditional relationship between policymakers in the Pentagon and U.S. intelligence agencies."



[im4wur]

From Lt. Col. Kwaitkowski's New Pentagon Papers: "From May 2002 until February 2003, I observed firsthand the formation of the Pentagon's Office of Special Plans and watched the latter stages of the neoconservative capture of the policy-intelligence nexus in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. This seizure of the reins of U.S. Middle East policy was directly visible to many of us working in the Near East South Asia policy office, and yet there seemed to be little any of us could do about it."

The Bushes deceived Americans and the world....If there is justice in USA they should be in jail or be executed in the name of more than 4000 young Americans soldiers killed and more than 200,000 Iraquies. The world cry for justice......

@BloodTar That's true what you say but even more true is that it simply is not going to happen. That is simply not the American way. It gonna happen. A President ain't going to jail for a crime, that's a television, that's on 24. And of course, as you suggested; It still goes on...that too is the American way and ain't gonna change because of whose in office.
