Democrats have a new theme.

“Who else are the voters going to elect? Republicans?” HAHA

“We got it made no matter what we do.”

It seems that Lieb and Graham could be leading the Senate into vote which could implicate them for torture if the photos are prima facie evidence of torture.

Mr. Barney might want to watch himself there as well.

We as citizens deserve answers as to whether the photos are prima facie evidence. A simple, “It will be bad for the troops,” is using the troops to hide efforts to extract the truth regarding torture. Such manipulation tarnishes the whole reason our troops serve.

I’m late to these threads on the prisoners photos but has anyone talked about the possibility that the pictures maybe be prima facie evidence of torture. What if they show prisoners being subjected to “harsh or enhanced interrogation techniques” i.e., torture?

The CIA destroyed all their digital records but if I remember correctly these are pictures taken by the troops at Abu Ghraib.

We were allowed to see photos of a hooded man hooked up to electrodes so it would seem that these remaining images could be the final nail in the coffin for the torture apologist.

Last night on local CT news they played a clip of Lieberman saying that the release of the photos was motivated by pure “voyeurism.” (with the trademark Lieberman whine). Not evidence of govt criminal activity, but “voyeurism”. So all those lawyers and human rights activists are just a bunch of “voyeurs” according to Lieberman.

My contempt for Joe Lieberman runs hotter than the white-hot cores of a thousand suns.

Since that Muslim extremist Hussein Obama has a controling interest in the Joe Lieberman Party, maybe Joe will actually convert to the Republicans after all.

genuinely sorry to burst your bubble – but that fucker is never going away – he’ll make DeLay look camera shy in his serial strutting for whatever pimp he’s working for long after 2012
