Was Lieberman briefed on waterboarding by the Bush administration CIA? Was he briefed on other obvious violations of international and federal law during the Bush adminsitration? If so, what did he do about it?

And, was he being briefed by the CIA when the appropriate members of Congress were not being briefed? I realize he was entitled to be briefed along with others. What is he talking about? He needs to come clean on this. He has asserted conclusions about his past experience with the CIA without establishing that the circumstances of his experiences were similar to those concerning Pelosi’s alleged briefings on waterboarding.

Lieberman is a detriment to the Senate.

Al Libi was not associated with Saddam Hussein. They tortured him into claiming he had knowledge about Hussein. You drank the kool-aid and are quite drunk.

The purpose of torture is to elicit false confessions. You can elicit the truth without torture. Watch good lawyers in the courtroom.

Here’s the blog post I did that I mentioned in my previous post @ 47.

In reading the Senate transcript about the CIA disinformation campaign against Goldwater I found a comment by Moynihan where he also expresses his dislike for our current Defense Sec., Robert Gates. Very interesting.

I forgot to add the blog post link. LOL I’ll have to do it this way because the edit feature won’t let you add it any other way.

“I’d say they’ve told me the truth as they see it.”

This is the definition of a liar, isn’t it? Telling the truth as they see it rather than as it is?

Convicts are always innocent, as they see it. Pyramid games really worked, from Ponzi’s point of view. Investing with Madoff guaranteed returns, as Madoff saw it. Lieberman is truly a Democrat, as … well enough of that.

Double triple speak and obfuscation, like the circular logic of Cheney;

Torture is against the law.
We are not allowed to break the law,
Therefore we didn’t torture.

Hey, if we need to hang Pelosi out as bait to get the Republicans to agree to the investigation, so be it.

Corrected repost:

Joe Lieberman talks out of both sides of his mouth:

Here is Joe Lieberman disagreeing with the 2007 Iran NIE in which the CIA said that Iran had stopped its nuclear weapons program:

“But neither do I make the mistake of believing in the infallibility or absolute impartiality of people in intelligence.”

But no additional evidence needs to be introduced to conclude that [the CIA] wouldn’t [lie to Congress].

Huh?
