12. Well! Old Georgy can't exactly claim that we have closed the torture..
rooms anymore, now can he? That's been the repukes justification for the war, since they failed to find WMDs. Repukes are totally stymied by this.

5. I'm surprised
I thought this would have a big impact overseas, but virtually no impact here in the U.S.

17. But we like to think that we're the "good guys"
This is making people see we don't always wear a white hat.

8. It is too early for this show up yet?
It is far too early to judge the long term effect of the torture problems on Bush.

I am looking forward to seeing what Hersh has on this topic. It is going to be difficult to make this problem worse.

11. Torture of boys. Videotapes of the torture. More pictures.
Edited on Mon May-03-04 07:37 PM by MikeG
Two prior investigations. The 53 page report is scathing.

15. The bad thing is, President Kerry will now have to do twice as much work
to undo the damage done to our international reputation by this revolting story.

16. Way too early to say this,
knowing the way the corporate media acts, this scandal, like dozens before it, will be out of the public light in a few weeks.

18. Wait a month
I have noted that any scandal related to Bush's reginme seems to take a month before the full effects percolate throughout the polling population.
