Rep. Nadler - Intelligence Authorization Bans Torture

The House is currently debating the Intelligence Authorization Conference Report, which will make new investments in intelligence personnel and enhance oversight of how intelligence is carried out. The conference report authorizes the largest amount for intelligence programs ever authorized. It would also ban torture, including waterboarding, by extending the Army Field Manual to cover all US intelligence agencies. Rep. Jerrold Nadler, Chairman of Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties, speaks in favor.

Thank you Mr. Nadler! Bush and his henchmen would turn us all into inhuman monsters!

Bush will just outsource Torture to Balckwater...

Captain Picard discusses why torture does not work in regards to reliable intelligence gathering.

You know what, I do expect it. Read my reply to JackAether5, not to far up the page, I don't want to repeat myself alot. If I'm ever captured in the line of duty I full expect to be tortured.

Look dude. I'm not retarded, or nieve for that matter. I know know what waterboarding is. I am in the military after all. Guess what genius, it does'nt matter what congress does buisness will continue as usual. And as for the other countries, most of them hate our guts and could care less what our stance on torture is. They're going to do do whatever they want anyway.

If you support the US Army torturing prisioners you must be ready to expect the same shitting on the Geneva convention when US soldiers are grabbed, kidnapped and tortured. The same rules apply.

This braindead collective called neocons and their braindead Christofascist followers have no inkling of the huge, huge damage they have caused to the US. It is a red blood stain that will never be removed, like Nazi Fascism.

That the US Government, in the 21st Century, openly maneuvered and supported torture is something that wil remain in peoples mind forever.

No more can the US claim any moral high ground or claim any title of "beacon of liberty." No more.

Nadler, looks good, used to look like an inflated blimp.

You are tired of Ron Paul "spammers"? Well tough luck, better get used to it. Who do you got that's better, and is serious about getting getting us out of Iraq? Don't tell me that the corporate sponsored Hillary or Barack will be doing anything but Bilderberger bidding. If you don't know who Bilderberger is, you better AX somebody.

[justiceranger]

I, as one who has studied State Rights, the U.S. constitution and various subjects of law, can say that Dr. Paul is RIGHT ON in most---if not all---of his assessments. He is absolutely the ONLY candidate for president who will end the Police State in America and the outlawry and corruption embedded at all level of government.

[cry0ut]

I was thinking the same thing. These black op tools will be free from things like "laws" to get in their way. The insane thing about these techniques is that you can get ANYONE to admit to crimes they didn't commit just to stop this torture.

I am TIRED of all politicians and am tired of the Ron Paul spammers. Ron is ok but there are many things he is VERY wrong on. One is taking help away from the less fortunate. he thinks everyone should stand on their own. Sounds great in theory but not in reality. MANY don't have access to health and education. So what happens to those people? Ron wake up America does NOT have a LEVEL PLAYING FIELD!
