It is disturbing to see that Nato members and other Caucasians and Turkey are aligned against the Third World in this secret, covert pact.

It becomes clear what the so-called terrorist are really fighting for, their very existence and control of their natural resources.

DEMOCRACY! Rule by demons.

So what?

It is time to go global and cease the need for the spy agencies. Taxpayers do not benefit from them, they spend loads of money and what is the purpose and what good do they actually do, aside from lying to the taxpayers?

Terrorists are terrorists. Whether or not what the CIA did was right, what the terrorists do is wrong. Period.

Well, it looks like we still have some friends around the world helping us. I think that is a good thing.

BFD.....
Oh, they are not "so called" terrorist, they ARE terrorist.
It is naïve to think that we can dispense with spy agencies. They serve a vital function for our national security.
They can certainly be vastly improved and better managed than they have been in recent history.

Good. Good over Evil. I don't think sensitive logistical information needs to be made public.

We need more secret prisons.

Just another attempt by the man to keep people down.

Hey Bungee, how do you know the people Bush secretly, and illegally, transported for torture ARE terrorists? Name one of them. Just one. Or are you saying our President can torture people in secret, and has no burden of proof other than saying "trust me?"

If you had ever read our Constitution, you would know we have a court system for alleged criminals. And we have it for a reason. IF they ARE terrorists, as you claim, then why couldn't Bush have brought them before a court of law to stand trial? Instead, he hid them from the world and tortured them, which suggests he didn't have enough evidence for a full, fair trial. And if he didn't have enough evidence for a trial, he sure didn't have enough evidence to torture.

Let's just hope Bush doesn't decide to randomly call YOU a terrorist one day. You can see what fate would be waiting for you.

it would be mind boggling to think how many they have done around the world.

We need agencies like the CIA. Somebody has to keep an eye out for potential terrorists.

Secret prisons are fine for terrorists - but who decides who is and isn't a terrorist? That's the problem. Once we allow the government to send terrorists to secret prisons, all they have to do is change the definition of 'terrorist' to send you to a secret prison.

Wrong is wrong. It does not matter which side you are on.

If one innocent man is kidnapped its wrong.

For those who think its ok I guess you would not have a probelm spending a couple of years being tortured for the goodness of all.

I dont think you would have that opinion if it happend to you.

With over 50% of the prisoners not having any terrorist connections and some being released, this secret prison, torture business is so Hitler. how many decades will it take to get our nation back on course. All of this is completely against our constitution, why no impeachment?

These are all war crimes, violations of Geneva, and impeachable offenses.

Failure to impeach, remove, prosecute and punish, then "render" to the Hague for any pending charges make one complicit as a war criminal themselves -- aiding and abetting after the fact.

With majority power comes responsiblity -- and culpability. The LieberDems have to decide if they're with the torturers or against them. Before their 100 hours of wish-list fulfillment.

There is no middle ground.

Impeachment IS our postive agenda.

It is our ONLY moral, patriotic option.

"Instead, he hid them from the world and tortured them..."

Maureen,
To paraphrase what YOU said, how do you know they were tortured? Name one of them. Just one.

You seem very interested in believing the negative...

so whats a few flts and jails between friends, anyhow?

Agree they need to go through due process, wtf since when did the President become King? I thought the founding fathers created a revolution because of this....

"Maureen,
To paraphrase what YOU said, how do you know they were tortured? Name one of them. Just one. - goetz"

I can name more than one:
Mohammad Al-Zery and Khaled el-Masri, among others - both innocent, both kidnapped by the CIA and "rendered" to countries where they were tortured. A great many have been "rendered" to Uzbekistan where torture is systematic and includes drowning and suffocation, rape quite commonly, and also immersion of limbs in boiling liquid.

Some of you kill me....talking about constitutional rights and due process...these people don't have any rights! They aren't Americans! They want to kill you, how can you be so naive? There are evils in this world and things need to be done "under the table" and out of the publics eye for the publics on good. The day we start treating terrorists as victims is the day we lose. Some of you are really out of touch with reality. Pick up a history book sometime.
