Ok, I'll go over it point by point. In the mean time, ponder this hypocrite in action.. What heartless bastard said "Terrorist Detainees Don't Fall Under Geneva Conventions" in 2003. Sith Lord Cheney? BushMcHitler? Nope. It was Eric "nation of cowards" Holder himself. "One of the things we clearly want to do with these prisoners is to have an ability to interrogate them and find out what their future plans might be, where other cells are located; under the Geneva Convention that you are really limited in the amount of information that you can elicit from people. It seems to me that given the way in which they have conducted themselves, however, that they are not, in fact, people entitled to the protection of the Geneva Convention. They are not prisoners of war. If, for instance, Mohammed Atta had survived the attack on the World Trade Center, would we now be calling him a prisoner of war? I think not. Should Zacarias Moussaoui be called a prisoner of war? Again, I think not." "I think they clearly do not fit within the prescriptions of the Geneva Convention. You have to remember that after World War II, as these protocols were being developed, there seemed to be widespread agreement that members of the French Resistance would not be considered prisoners of war if they had been captured. That being the case, it's hard for me to see how members of al Qaeda could be considered prisoners of war." Here is the video, so you know he wasn't taken out of context.. <http://newsbusters.org/blogs/kerry-picket/2008/11/24/2002-video-flashback-eric-holder-terrorist-detainees-dont-fall-under-g > And this in April 2009 "Holder: CIA Officials Will Not Be Charged for Harsh Interrogation Tactics Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. said Thursday that CIA officials who used harsh interrogation tactics on suspected terrorists would not face prosecution and that the government would provide free legal representation to any official sued for their participation in the now- banned interrogation program. In a statement today, Holder said the government would indemnify intelligence officials for any monetary judgment or penalty imposed against them and represent them in congressional investigations, provided they acted within the margins of the Justice Department's legal opinions sanctioning the techniques, which included beatings, cramped confinement, and waterboarding." and finally.. Holder undoes Holder// <http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NjZkNGZiODM0YjNmODNkMWFhZDU5Mzk2ZDMwNGRmMDQ= > Asked about the seals being waterboarded as part of training.. "we’re doing something for training purposes to try to equip them with the tools to, perhaps, resist torture techniques that might be used on them. There is not the intent to do that which is defined as torture — which is to inflict serious bodily or mental harm. It’s for training. It’s different." So... Anyone want to call for Holder to resign? Buller? If I had to defend the CIA folks, I'd call Holder himself to the stand, show him his video and ask him is he said what he said.. "Terrorist Detainees Don't Fall Under Geneva Conventions" the rest of it.. Then rest my case. Holder is doing this at the behest of Obama, hoping to draw attention away from Obama's health care debacle Pure ,BS politics.. =c= _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
