Questions for the Attorney General

Any attempt to keep investigations focused on low-level operatives is in direct violation of the Convention Against Torture, which is a binding treaty under US & international law. ALL parties who directed, enabled or participated in acts of torture must be investigated. Plus, the Nuremburg trials established a strong precedent that "i was just following orders" does NOT constitute a valid defense.

Was on the Huff Post with a link to here, but it disappeared real quick. Some progressive site.

So Mr. Isikoff, are you suggesting that we should not investigate this matter, because witnesses and foresnsic evidence are lacking? Should we do that with all cases? Investigate when the prosecution has a clear and decisive winning position.

If this case proves that that people are innocent, then it should be rejoyceful for the previous admnistration. It will also clear them of wrong doing. Why would this be a loss for AG. AG needs to identify if there is a case in the first place., why is that wrong??? I feel you lost your way, using results to justify methodology. It is about practice, and how we do. Justice is not simply measured by result.

Nope.

Rather, the ''free press'' is accountable to the ''political system''

This is what has critics riled over these species of ''Salons'' as instigated by The ATLANTIC and the Washington Post,in which, for a fee, [ranging between 25 and 250 grand], those lobbyists who plank down the dough would get favoured meetings with administration figures including Obama and members of the ''press'' [complete with caviar, malt ales and imported cheeses and crackers], who would highlight the concerns of said lobbyists in upcoming articles written by staff journalists.

This is crazy to the nth degree and takes into consideration the fact that the present administration is packed with more former hacks than any previous one[ with fourteen former journalists now serving in the administration]. They thus concoct ''town hall ''meetings stacked with Obamaites, or, in the strange case of ABC NEWS, create entire informercials live from the White House that are partisan in their makeup allowing no dissenting voices to be heard.[sanity sometimes prevails however. CNN has just sacked ''reporter'' Sue Roesgen, the idiot who angered many Americans by her live browbeating of Chicago ''tea party''protesters earlier this year]. The disservice todays press affords Americans cannot be overstated. For one example, ironically, it became Russias news services in ITAR-TASS and their TIMES which were more honest with the troubles inherent in the Obama/Medvedev meeting than was the adoring NEWSWEAK and that Putin remains the strongman behind the throne.[highlighted by yet another murder of a Putin journalist critic yesterday who was shot and dumped on a road outside of Moscow]. As it now stands, too many in journalism are asking either the wrong questions or worse, not asking them at all.

While we are discussing "torture" techniiques - let's ask Governor Sarah Palin what she "allowed" in the war against a young family and her "not caring" about the consequences of said actions. like the latest is the planning to "burn the house down"
with the exception it didn't work out. when the target put the pieces together and called it out - Palin QUITS in 24 hours...

Tell the Attorney General to send an army of investigators to Alaska - money trail will lead to Palin's front door...and evidence!

Errata: ''Don't Shoot'' [ Isikoff and Hosenball] for ''Independants Day'' which was penned by Klaidman.

Hey now, let's play nice. He's not saying he knows any better. He's just asking some tough questions, as is his wont, as a successful columnist. Something that none of us, here, are. I think he knows what he's doing, and I think he knows this will get ignored. But it's about a political system that is accountable to the free press. You do think we should have a free press, don't you? If not, I heard Russia is awfully nice this time of year.

This is the usual left wing garbage. This left wing partisan ends by saying"...so the American people once and for all can know the truth about this subject?" But the "American people" have made it perfectly clear that they don't care about this subject. They also overwhelmingly don't want to close Guantanamo Bay because they don't want these foreign terrorists on American soil and these facts really piss off the hysterical Bush haters. It is psychiatric problem, these losers, like this scribbler, needed George Bush to hate and now they miss him. They are not allowed by their inane ideology to hate Obama since he is half black. It is just pathetic.

''Im Mike Isikoff. Lets Play SOFTBALL''.

Just another lie by the Obama administration one in a number that now surpasses 60 - we are not going to llok back but forward. Now the dems see their election advantage slipping very fast so they now plan to try and further demonize the GOP while trying to ram through their Marxist agenda. GOP in 2010 and anybody but Obama in 2012.
