Probe of Alleged Torture Weighed

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. is leaning toward appointing a criminal prosecutor to investigate whether CIA personnel tortured terrorism suspects after Sept. 11, 2001, setting the stage for a conflict with administration officials who would prefer the issues remain in the past, according to... » Full Story on Washington Post

If they are talking about the waterboarding again...

So why did the US use water-boarding?

Because it did not at the time classify water-boarding as torture and regarded it as an effective method in a small number of cases.

It made a distinction between "torture", which it accepted is banned by US and international law, and so-called "enhanced interrogation techniques".

These techniques included not only water-boarding but sleep deprivation, subjection to cold and long periods of standing, and some slapping.

More driveling Liblizard bullsh*t. Like we don't know. The more
propagandized slime the Obamedia puts out... the more nails they are driving into his political coffin. And those of his minions. Keep it up.

Obama's trying to placate the moonbats that want Bush's scalp while trying to deflect attention away from his botching of the economy and lack of a coherent foreign policy.

Since Pelosi was the original champion of this torture nonsense, but got caught because she approved the enhanced interrogation techniques, Obama had to pick someone else to keep up this charade, so Holder is on the line.

Yahoo sure is running a lot of defense for the Kenyan this week-end, all about torture, Bush, and Cheney but nothing about the beat down at the Russian meeting where Putin and Medyev(spelling) really put it to the clown but he really did get a splendid reception from some bunch of jungle dancers, what a trip....as I said anything to divert attention and the discussion away from the Kenyan's slipping approval as people realize what an empty suit we have elected
