Mr. Johnson:

What did you think of the Vice President’s admission in an ABC interview that he authorized/facilitated the waterboarding of detainees?

Thank you.

This is just all complete BS? See statement from Abe Foxman:

And the people who were in the room also say it is BS:

Ah well, never let the facts get in the way of a good story…

Tenet’s book is an interesting exercise in revisionism. It hurt to think that his book was not redacted near as much as Mrs Wilsons was… in her book they redacted the word “and”…and his ? Not.

I am wondering what your views are regarding the US Policies towards Saudi Arabia will be in the coming administration… and how that relates to Iran.

Instead of the Medal of Freedom, Bush should have canned Tenet after taking the Oath in Jan of 2001.

Our economy is broken, there is simply no way to gloss it over, and as Eisenhower said, our true might is derived from our economy, not our military.

When the Saudis are turning up their nose at you, or dealing with Russia as the superior power, we, as a country are dead within 20 years.

Fortunately, we’re a democracy, the corrupt democrats and republicans simply a small part of the greater power structure.

Attacking Iraq over 9/11 would be analagous to FDR ordering an attack on China for Pearl Harbor.

Bots to the right; bots to the left, but not a brain among them collectively.

Let me see if I remember the Nationalities of the men we have been told were the Sept 11 hijackers — Iraqi — NO — They were mostly Saudi Nationals.

So why was Tenet at a Saudi pool party?

His judgment sucked then and never did improve much with time.

The cost can be measured in lives, money, prestige, and trust. I’m sure ther are others.
