Wow!!! - Just Watched Philip Zelikow On Rachel's Show And......
it looks like they are starting to come out of the woodwork already. He is saying that he wrote a dissenting torture memo and didn't agree with what they were allowing. He said that someone in the WH ordered that his memo and copies of his memo that were distributed be collected and destroyed. Hmmmmmm....... Obstruction of justice - maybe? I wonder who in the WH ordered that his memo be destroyed? It would really be telling to find that out.

Zelikow was laying the groundwork to give Rice an alibi about the torture approval. He insinuated that she didn't agree with the torture justifications either. I wonder??????

Oh - this is going to get good.

P.S. - Wasn't Zelikow the guy that we criticized here for his work on the 9/11 commission. Didn't we think he was kind of covering things over quickly. Don't look here. No story here. Not relevant to the commission.

Where will this all lead?????

2. Hopefully the rats will turn on each other
I have a feeling Cheney was never really popular with anyone, and now that he's out of power (and the tapes he's secured to blackmail folks are coming out), I'm thinking more and more will decide to cover their backsides, protect their own by ratting out others, or seek revenge (as is the case with the CIA).

3. If ever there was one f**king a-hole I would not believe a word he says -
its this guy.

If his 9/11 testimony is available go watch it. He is largely responsible for the crap they wrote in and facts they left out of the commission report. If his mouth is moving - he is lying.

8. didn't the 9/11 report rely on the confessions obtained through torture
Guess it didn't bother him that much, now did it.
