let's see...where to start where to start

oh brb

Did you see this invictus?


Two psychologists are responsible for designing the CIA's program of waterboarding suspected terrorists and for assuring the government the program was safe, according to an ABC News report.

Former military officers Bruce Jessen and Jim Mitchell had an "important role in developing what became the CIA's torture program," Jameel Jaffer, an attorney with the ACLU, told ABC News.

Jessen and Mitchell were previously involved in the U.S. military program to train pilots how to resist brutal tactics if captured -- but Col. Steven Kleinman, an Air Force interrogator, told ABC News that the two never had experience conducting actual interrogations before the CIA hired them.

"They went to two individuals who had no interrogation experience,"

Col. Kleinman told ABC News.


I saw it. Im trying to find out more about these guys.

Associates say Jessen and Mitchell were paid up to $1,000 a day by the CIA to oversee the techniques used against high-profile detainees to extract information in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York City and the Pentagon.

The revelation comes as Congressional Democrats turn up the pressure on the Obama administration to appoint a special counsel to start a criminal investigation into harsh interrogations of terror suspects and who authorized them. The debate was sparked by the Obama administration this month releasing four Bush-era memos outlining legal guidelines for the CIA's interrogation methods.

Obama has said it would be up to Attorney General Eric Holder to determine whether "those who formulated those legal decisions" should be prosecuted. The methods, described in the Bush-era memos, included slamming detainees against walls and subjecting them to simulated drowning, known as waterboarding.

The president said he would not seek to punish CIA officers and others who carried out interrogations

let me get this straight (pacing back and forth while thinking here)...The president said he would not seek to punish CIA officers and others who carried out interrogations....hmmmm and why would that be???? what does this say about him???

He is a lawyer and Holder works for him. If he wants Holder to prosecute, and it goes bad, he will have to answer for it someday.

Isn't that a pandoras box? If a Republican ever gets elected again, and Obama is deemed to have gone after Bush based on political expediency, it could come back to bite him on the a$$. If he opens the door, who knows where it might lead.

wait,,,
That's not funny.

The Obama administration is moving toward reviving the military commission system for prosecuting Guantánamo detainees, which was a target of critics during the Bush administration, including Mr. Obama himself.

wonder how much will be made of this

but it is dif it is obama it has to right

interesting

very interesting

but not very surprising

You skip right over this though.

outlining an administration plan to amend the Bush administration’s system to provide more legal protections for terrorism suspects.


Meaning the trials will not be run by the Bush rules.
They will be fair this time and speedy!

The idea is to sort through the group as fast and fairly as possible. Wean out the menacing from the innocent and clear Gitmo for closure.
End its use as a torture camp!

Clean up the Bush embarrassment!
