George Galloway blasts the Senate

Who is George Galloway? (I believe his 15 minutes are up.)

I think that neither of you are being mindful of the menagerie of oddities he will join on that lecture circuit. I agree, there may be some entertainment value, but as for the rest ....

Funny George, that the Senate felt the need to remove his testimony from their site. Was it ever put back up? I think the truth will be handled in much the same way that's it's been handled for the last number of years, with limited spin, pressure to not report and above all else, lie, lie, lie and then lie again.

I should, perhaps, take JTT more seriously on his last point. He does know a good deal about being wrong.

Touche, mon ami.

For an excellent example of this conservative doublespeak, this constant nattering, making full and frequent use of talking points, false talking points at that, see the video of Brit Hume turning into a mumbling idiot.

When pressed to defend these falsehoods, when pressed to actually think about what he was saying, he looked on the verge of tears.

If you pay careful attention, you'll notice clearly, that all Brit's talking points mirror those that have been laid out here for the last few months by Tico, McG, Lash, georgeob1, Finn, have I forgotten anyone?

I don't see that your link in any way supports the point(s) you make above. It appears to me that Kristol & Hume disagreed about an arguable point. No big deal. One who regards that as a triumphant moment, is a bit .... desperate.

I'm not at all surprised that you feel this way, George. As you've clearly expressed before, you are blind in your devotion.

As for the rest, if you continue your quest for education and wisdom, you will find that truth and right understanding are indeed remarkably consistent. It is error and sophistry that yields the cacophany and inconsistent disorder of "progressive" views.

If I'm not mistaken, it's the progressive views that seek to shut down such these "prisons". It's the progressive view that seeks accountability for a host of alleged "fabrications".

It's the progressive view that seems to be coming to pass, ie. you can't treat people in the fashion they've been treated and expect thinking people to blindly give their support. [note, I said "thinking people"]


The web site you linked was very biased and at best a superficial collection of gossip and inuendo. Not a good source for continued education - predigested snippets of biased reporting - somewwhat like a diet of taco chips, salty & tasty, but not good for you..

Tico's tried that line of illogic already. How can a series of videos, many from Fox be biased? There was, on the video in question, [why do we always have to keep dragging you conservatives back to the issues?] a discussion of the issues, one that has been much discussed here.

At least two of the four were conservatives. Who was that lady in the red dress? It doesn't matter, left or right; note how she laid bare the oft repeated lie, [raised again by Hume] that this is "a group of lefties/America bashers who are bringing up these issues"; completely false.

And I must note yet again that you've failed to address any substantive issue.

During the '70s and '80s IRA men were held in Maze without charges or trial for similar extended periods. Did you oppose that as well?

The people in Guantanamo shot people too.

These people were captured in battles in Afghanistan - many in paramilitary units organized by al Quada.

One has to wonder whether your intelligence on this has been any better than, oh, pick any intelligence that has been bandied about. Sorry, maybe I have that backwards; maybe the intelligence has been okay, it's just been twisted badly for nefarious purposes.

How many thousands have been interned; convictions, where? somewhere around 30 or 40?

We are fighting a war with them. The "countercharges" raised here don't count for much - at least in the eyes of serious people who are responsible for protecting our security.

These countercharges are beginning to have some effect on thinking people, though clearly not much effect on those who occupy the opposing camp.


You would cast yourself in a better light if you would begin to acknowledge in your many, often bitter criticisms of the United States that your country has repeatedly and consistently done precisely the same thing when confronted with similar threats and circumstances - an done so very recently, in an historical sense. There is a word for such meaningful omissions - hypocrisy.

Take a quick gander in the mirror, George. Dictionary meaning of hypocrisy!
