2. I am surprised that BushCo allowed this info to come out
though it did generate some good headlines. And the MSM hasn't reported on these details...

3. I think they REALLY haven't yet realized...
...that people have woken up, and are looking
past their BS spin. They've been so drunk on power
for so long, they've started to believe that
they really do create their own reality, all
evidence to the contrary nonwithstanding.

6. k&r. He is a thug that needed locking up and my further thoughts
I don't think he would confess to what he was involved in, but a false, tortured "confession" is of no use either, except to prove that you can get someone to confess anything under torture and that I am ashamed of what has been done in my name by my country.

8. I would sincerely hope not.
They don't allow tortured confessions, yet, do they?
