During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on "The Legal Rights of Guantanamo Detainees" this morning, Brigadier General Thomas W. Hartmann, the legal adviser at Guantanamo Bay, repeatedly refused to call the hypothetical waterboarding of an American pilot by the Iranian military torture. "I'm not equipped to answer that question," said Hartmann

When a general won't answer a legitimate question, you ask -- why won't you answer the question? Or better yet -- who's authority do you need to answer the question? Then tell the general to wait while you go summon that person -- get all your ducks in a row and *make* them answer your question, or hold them all in contempt of Congress, as is your right to do so.

I think the general was owned.

When the American Government hanged Japanese soldiers in WWII for waterboarding Americans, it was wrong. And when they do it on Muslims, it's alright. Man, if I ever see George Bush and Dick Chaney, I'm going to shoot them and then cut them up into 50 pieces and feed them to my dog.

I've never had to say this about an American military man before, but Brigadier General Thomas W. Hartmann is a white nigger.
