		<description>tas:  Interesting self portrait.  I thought &quot;Progressives&quot; didn&#039;t make fun of gays, minorities, or people with disabilities??

Kathy:  Well we&#039;ll have to disagree on the definition of Torture.  I just read your response but it did not fully answer the question.  Which interrogation technique (if any) would you use?</description>

		<description>That&#039;s because my answer was in the other post I wrote on this subject, at this blog, entitled &quot;No Legal Immunity for Clearly Illegal Acts,&quot; in the Comments section of which you asked me exactly the same question and I &lt;a href=&quot;http://commentsfromleftfield.com/2009/04/no-legal-immunity-for-clearly-illegal-acts#comments&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;answered it&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>tas:  I&#039;m not going anywhere, sorry to disrupt your singular mindset here but you most of all exemplify the political hack not interested in facts or thinking outside the box.  All these 1-liners of yours demonstrate inept political dialog, lack of knowledge.

Kathy, glad you are consistent by condemning any Democrat approval.  Educating me??  Well maybe so, but not in the way you think.  What I&#039;ve learned here is the complete and utter hypocrisy on the left mixed with pure mean spirited dialog and absolutely no willingness to engage the other side or attempt change someone&#039;s mind.  There are closed minded people blindly cheering on both sides of the aisle, you guys represent the crowd on the left.  Either you agree and are welcomed in as an Obamaton or ignored/ridiculed, certainly not engaged because to engage in critical thinking would be to open one&#039;s mind to perhaps a different point of view.  

Educate me on this Kathy:  What measures or techniques (if any) would you support to gather information from Terrorists?  If you answered this previously I could not find it.</description>

		<description>Boogie,

Congressional Democratic enabling of the Bush torture regime has my full measure of condemnation. 

I answered your other questions already. The things you say reveal a complete ignorance of the subject, and I don&#039;t have the time or inclination to educate you.</description>

		<description>BM, &lt;a href=&quot;http://rumproast.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Rumproast&lt;/a&gt; has requested your presence.  No, &lt;a href=&quot;http://twitter.com/rumproast/status/1581127891&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;seriously&lt;/a&gt;.  You should go there instead of visiting us.

		<description>Rove was on the news this morning asking that Obama release ALL the Memo&#039;s now, not just the ones claimed to favor Obama&#039;s position.  In these documents supposedly are information on how an attack by Jumbo Jet in LA was thwarted.  I&#039;d like to see this, if we&#039;re going to have a debate on Bush&#039;s policy, let&#039;s see what the results of the interrogations were.

Andrew Sullivan makes a comment about semantics, if the pain of torture produced information well the reverse of his argument is that no torture would have produced no information ... thus we&#039;d have a few thousand more people dead in LA and another building hitting the ground.  Indirectly Sullivan admits the interrogations worked.

Kathy, again, I&#039;d like to know which of these techniques you consider torture, and which are not.  What, if anything, can interrogator&#039;s do to get information??  Allegedly KSM was waterboarded 180+ times ... yet he survived and walked away.  Seems if the interrogation was so harsh, he&#039;d be dead or unable to move.

Lastly, what about Democrat approval of these techniques??  I wonder if Congressional briefings and approval will be part of any hearing.</description>
