BERLIN (Reuters) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice admitted on Tuesday that the United States may make mistakes in its "war on terrorism" and promised to put them right if they happened.

"We recognize any policy will sometimes result in errors, and when it happens, we will do everything we can to rectify it," Rice said at the start of a European tour overshadowed by allegations of illegal
CIA methods against terrorist suspects.

Speaking in Berlin, she declined to comment on the case of a German man, Khaled el-Masri, who was allegedly abducted to Afghanistan and imprisoned there for five months last year until the CIA realized it had got the wrong man.

But German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the U.S. government had acknowledged it blundered over Masri, who plans to sue the CIA in a case to be filed in the United States later on Tuesday.

1. The "war on terror" is a mistake

This so-called war will end when they leave.

[truthisfreedom]

2. you are a living breathing example of a mistake in the war on terra, condi

rectifiy yourself immediately, with extreme prejudice.

[BikeWriter]

3. Mistakes? Like attacking Iraq?

[Gman]

4. As in "Oops! My Bad!"?

as people scream in agony from torture?

[CJCRANE]

5. Neocons deliberately created

their "terror war" when they LIHOP on 9-11.

Ever since then they've done everything they could to keep it going.

Before the neocons came into power al-Qaeda was a two-bit operation that could've been handled with good intelligence and a few discreet predator drones in the valleys of Afghanistan.

6. The sun may also rise in the east.

They may make mistakes?

Let' see Keystone Kop renditions in Italy
torture
lies to our allies
laughable timing of finding the #3 man in AQ just when bad news in Iraq comes out.


Who wudda thunk it?

COLOMBO, Dec 5 (Reuters) - The United States' refusal to confirm or deny allegations the CIA has run secret prisons in Eastern Europe is a mockery of international law, rights group Amnesty International said on Monday.

The United States has lost credibility by refusing to confront allegations about so-called "black sites", and should conduct a transparent probe to disprove them, Amnesty Secretary General Irene Khan told reporters on a visit to Sri Lanka.

"I think they're mocking international law, they are mocking the rule of law that the U.S. values," Khan said. "What it shows is that again the United States is refusing to recognise its responsibilities to investigate properly."

"Certainly they would be breaking the law if there are black sites," she added. "They are weakening the democratic principles of their own society in the name of security."

9. Mother may I ?

Motherfecker! You may NOT.

She is giving PERMISSION to US to make mistakes??
NOT making mistakes is the mark of a good leader.
This administration is absurd, and bad for our once lovely America.

10. She oughta know about mistakes. She's one of our biggies. n/t

11. "May"? n/t

12. Torture is not a mistake, it is a deliberate criminal act.

Invading an innocent country, killing its people, and lying about the reasons for doing it, is not a mistake, it is a deliberate, criminal act. Rice, you are a sorry excuse for a human, that goes for your husband too.

16. Excellent point.

There is nothing "accidental" about torture, or all these "black" CIA prisons.

It was all deliberate, planned very carefully. The PNAC had about 20 years to put all this together: World Domination through terror.

13. May? Talk about a colossal disconnection with reality!!!

Hello, calling condi, I have never ever had a thought of my own, rice, the clue phone is ringing for you!!!

I guess she suffers from the same malady that moron* and the other members of the room full of dopes have, rose colored glasses, horse blinderitus. Or other-wised known as: total bullshit artists.

Condi, here's a suggestion, take off the dominatrix gear for a while, get your head out of moron*s ass for 5 minutes, take a good look around and ask yourself, "how did I get here?" then quit your job and save the rest of use three more years of your faux pollyanna bullshit. It's really getting old and frankly, it's just not working with that donna reed haircut any longer.

It is just simply amazing how they continue to try and put this putrid act of feigned regret over us.

colossal racist lying failure*.

14. "may" make mistakes? Everything this *ing admin does is a colossal

disaster. Another idiot on the BushCo payroll.

[superconnected]

15. Rice has an ugly soul.

It's hard to read anything she says and give her credibility, after realizing she's the one saying it.

Of course that goes for George and the rest of his partners in crime. Maybe it's because they've lied so much and killed so many...

[gratuitous]

17. "May" make mistakes?

Is that to say that no mistakes have been made thus far? Sheesh, the audacity of these criminals just never quits, does it?
