Have arrested a lot of people for being suspected of being involved. That means someone that didn't like them denounced them or that they were in the wrong place at the wrong time or that they wwere caught being up to no good. The first two do not preclude the person wasn't a terrorist, but they also don't mean he is.

As the revalations from Abu Graib came out, one of the things that were learned about was that a lot of people who were innocent were getting picked up.

Um, as many as 90% of the detainees at Abu Graib were wrongly arrested.

[Lorizael]

You know what all the hundreds of thousands of US soldiers in Iraq are doing?

[Theben]

I can't believe Rove or Cheney would let Dubya do something as PR-destroying as this before the election.

I'm not saying Shrub would have wanted to. Need more proff.

It depends on when the EO was written. I'd wager it was done in the wake of 9/11, and not late last year. All we have right now are references to the EO, not the EO itself.

You want to even attempt to back that up?

And knowing you, are any of the "sources" you might pick going to attempt to back that up?

When did CBS's poster boy start working for the ACLU? Or is this just a copy cat?

Coalition military intelligence officials estimated that 70 to 90 percent of prisoners detained in Iraq since the war began last year "had been arrested by mistake," according to a confidential Red Cross report given to the Bush administration earlier this year.

[Patroklos]

HA,

Your support is five words from a Red Cross "confidential report" (that happens to be public???), the rest of which is not available, which itself doesn't quote or even produce the so called intelligence report.

No names, dates, or any information about any of these documents, and oh yeah only available on that minor news site.

And when did "70 to 90 percent" = "90"?

You post amounts to a spin on a spin on a spin based on nothing.

I think I'm gonna be sick...

I hope this gets out in the mainstream media without conservative spin, if it does bush is toast, if the repubs refuse to impeach him despite public pressure, the voters will slaughter the republicans in '06.

Patrokowhatever

Weakest rebuttal ever.

"the President directly authorized interrogation techniques including sleep deprivation, stress positions, the use of military dogs, and "sensory deprivation through the use of hoods, etc." "

This isn't torture.

This isn't torture.

Would you want to be subjected to some of that?
