The media should be talking about Ali Soufan-NOT Nancy Pelosi

[jenmito]

What a great distraction Nancy Pelosi has been. NOBODY is talking about ex-FBI interrogator Ali Soufan who testified under oath Wednesday that waterboarding did NOT work on Abu Zubaydah like Cheney and other Repubs. have been claiming for the longest time! I haven't heard one word about this except on the day the bombshell testimony came out! Now it's Nancy Pelosi 24/7. :eyes: Here's an article on the testimony which SHOULD be talked about constantly!: http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/us_world/Ex-FBI-Interrogator-Says-Harsh-Methods-Didnt-Work.html

1. EXACTLY....thanks for saving me the effort of posting a similar rant.

And isn't it unfortunate that on our boards we are similarly arguing about this or that detail and what a disappointment Barack Obama has been instead of pressuring the media or congress to get the fuck to work?

Recommended.

:toast:

2. Thank you. My pleasure...

Yes, it IS unfortunate. We should NOT fall into the media distraction trap! :hi:

3. Are you sure you didn't mean to talk about how DEMS KNEW!

THEY ALL KNEW!

Surely that's a far more constructive discussion to have.

4. Oops-sorry...

Should I edit the title of the thread? :D

[redqueen]

6. It'd get way more attention!

:crazy:

[jenmito]

8. I think you're right...

This thread keeps sinking.

9. It's in good company!

13. Thanks for pointing that out...

I'll give it a kick. :hi:

[NYC_SKP]

5. Oh, I think that deserves it's own OP....

It would fit right in with many of the others...

:P

7. Check your PMs

:D

11. ...

Huh.... imagine that.

If the republicans want to win, they'll capitalize on this division amongst ourselves and launch another contract with America, thus consolidating enough of them behind shit like Flag burning amendments while we're busy taking down our own last best chance at reform and recovery.

It would be amusing if it wasn't so serious a matter.

10. Exactly.. this is nothing but a hide the ball game..by the right

[jenmito]

12. "The right" includes the media as proven by the coverage. n/t

I can't stand Pelosi, and that's why I can't help but feel that those of us who feel that way are being manipulated into playing along with the Repubs distraction attempts. My Spidey sense started tingling right away on this one. It's clearly working on some, but I think many are starting to see that they're being played on this one.

It's really a great play by the repubs. They know Nancy isn't overly popular, and they know she knew enough about what happened that these tactics would gain some traction. Let their arm of the media do the rest and viola, the perfect distraction!

[jenmito]

16. Thank you..

especially coming from your perspective. You seem to see what's going on here more than some of us who DON'T feel that way about Pelosi. :hi:

[azmouse]

18. I appreciate your willingness to keep your mind open about Pelosi

despite not liking her. You can bet the RW is counting on her unpopularity to bring her down and distract from the real issues... what the Republicans actually did, and when and how they did it.

[redqueen]

19. You're so cool I can hardly stand it.

:loveya:

[Forkboy]

20. ....

You just made me blush for the first time in eons. :blush:

:loveya:

[vaberella]

27. +1. I adore NP---but this says you're getting the game the Repubs are playing.

They are some crazy ass bastards.

[azmouse]

15. Sure does look like some on the left see their chance to retaliate

at Pelosi for her reluctance to impeach. That's what this is all about.

I hope Nancy gets that independent prosecutor sooner rather than later. Let's get the truth out.

[jenmito]

17. Ah-good point!

I didn't connect it to that! :hi:

[me b zola]

21. Spot on

:thumbsup:

[Supersedeas]

22. I'll second that.

[jenmito]

24. Thanks to you, too!

29. It makes me depressed that the media ignores over and over again the real issues here.

Bush and Cheney allowed torture and it did not work.
But its Pelosi 24/7 because they are complicit. The MSM never did their job in the run up to the Iraq War so they try to cover their butts as much as possible.

Thank you Jen!
