So, who's Hadley speaking for...? Cheney or Bush...?

stop fronting for cheney, you miserable little weasel...

"The president has said that we are going to do whatever we do in accordance with the law," the national security adviser said. "BUT... [bold and emphasis mine] you see the dilemma. What happens if on September 7th of 2001, we had gotten one of the hijackers and based on information associated with that arrest, believed that within four days, there's going to be a devastating attack on the United States?"

He insisted that it was "a difficult dilemma to know what to do in that circumstance to both discharge our responsibility to protect the American people from terrorist attack and follow the president's guidance of staying within the confines of law."

john mccain is sticking to his guns as well he should...

McCain, who appeared on CBS's "Face the Nation" program, said White House negotiators led by Vice President Richard Cheney were pushing to safeguard the option of using the enhanced interrogation techniques in order to get information from detainees in extraordinary circumstances.

The senator said he disagreed with that approach because he was worried about the damage to the image of the United States.

"I hold no brief for the terrorists," he said. "But it's not about them. It's about us. This battle we're in is about the things we stand for and believe in and practice. And that is an observance of human rights, no matter how terrible our adversaries may be."

"it's not about them... it's about us..." goddam right... but, i hasten to add, it isn't about our friggin' IMAGE as much as it is about our national character... are we the decent and principled people we claim to be...? or not...? and what is this "enhanced interrogation techniques" bullshit...? pardon me while i go be sick...
