18. They're speaking with Jack Goldsmith. n/t

[Hissyspit]

[MrScorpio]

20. Now we're finding out what Bush defines "torture"

[Hissyspit]

22. Goldsmith: "I had this feeling that there was something not quite right about this."

[Hissyspit]

23. Ashcroft: Dr. Yoo was "Dr. Yes"

[Hissyspit]

26. 'The Crown Jewel:' spying on Americans in their international calls

28. Ashcroft balks on reauthorization... and then gets sick.

Went to hospital. Comey is acting Attorney General.

We'll see if there are any new revelations.

[Hissyspit]

29. Goldsmith: "I thought he looked near death."

Gonzales and Andrew Card show up.

[Hissyspit]

[Olney Blue]

37. This was an amazing piece of journalism.

Thanks for all your posts, hissyspit!

[pkz]

39. astonishing amazing piece of journalism

I was mesmerized for the whole piece...disgusted but glued to the tube.

Thank gawd, someone has the cajones to air it

[Blackhatjack]

38. Why Have NONE Of The MSM News Organizations Done A Piece Like This?

PBS has a fraction of the funding and resources that ABC, NBC, CBS etc. have, and yet none of them has come close to presenting the facts like this.

And if Rupert Murdock has his way, we will never see a piece like this on a MSM outlet.

All the facts have been readily available to any news organization willing to commit the time and resources like PBS has done.

Simply stunning.

[Individualist]

40. It was an excellent program

Without coming right out and saying so, it made pretty clear which office in the White House is running the government.

[bullwinkle428]

41. Wow, could the timing of the anthrax attacks in 10/01

have been more telegraphed, when looking back at the resistance the WH encountered from them in the effort to gain a new level of power never seen before at literally that exact moment?

[MrScorpio]

42. The instruments are there for continued usage

For the next traumatic event

[HowHasItComeToThis]

46. THEY ARE ALL JUST SIMPLY..... BULLIES

THINK ABOUT THE UNITARY EXECUTIVE AS JUST THE BIGGEST BULLY.

[Swamp Rat]

47. I did not see it. Was David Addington fully exposed?

[KT2000]
