- inactive, on 12/07/2007, -4/+26like the heading said "add criminal destruction of evidence to the list of charges". at this point that is all we can do is keep track of their crimes. Right now we are living in bizarro world, what is up is down, what is right is wrong and what is wrong is suddenly right.
jen - lhbaker, on 12/07/2007, -2/+24If by 'neutered, feminized liberal girly-men' you mean 'genuinely concerned about the Constitution and the rule of law,' then yeah. What is the point of even having a Constitution if Bush thinks he can violate it whenever the mood strikes him?
- sockpuppets, on 12/07/2007, -1/+22I like how you swoop in and ***** all over Digg with your agenda. Who were you before Digg banned you?
http://www.digg.com/users/lllOlll/history/comments - mrgreenjeans, on 12/07/2007, -1/+14You need a hug.
- Wargalas, on 12/07/2007, -3/+13Here's a little something that you forgot to read:
Hayden told CIA employees that House and Senate intelligence committee leaders were informed about the tapes and the CIA's intention to destroy them in 2003, which some members of Congress disputed. He also said the CIA's internal watchdog watched the tapes and verified that the interrogation practices were legal. The tapes were destroyed in late 2005.
So everyone had 2 YEARS foreknowledge that these tapes were going to be destroyed, and yet they did nothing? Something smells fishy here.
And before you go off saying it's all a "Republican" thing, take a look at the member roster:

Pretty down the middle I see on both sides. - inactive, on 12/07/2007, -2/+11Why the ***** is this administration still in office? I say impeach EVERYBODY. Why aren't more people angry?
- billessig, on 12/07/2007, -2/+11I'm so glad I'm smarter than you.
- inactive, on 12/07/2007, -0/+8you're right, they were destroyed in anticipation of being requested as evidence during a trial. That means its a-ok!
- spyd3rweb, on 12/07/2007, -3/+11So uhh what happened to that president guy from the 60's who destroyed some tapes, does anyone remember? Thats what should happen to this guy.
- nitroburn, on 12/07/2007, -1/+8I guess you have to rape an entire village of people to get in trouble in this administration.
- boston02115, on 12/07/2007, -1/+8There is a government on this Earth that is seizing and then holding individuals without trial or lawyers for years at a time, torturing the individuals at will, and then destroying evidence of these acts. This government claims to be beyond the reach of the courts in the nation, and further claims that this is done to protect the people and nation at large.
What country is this? - inactive, on 12/07/2007, -2/+9i don't usually post insults on digg but you're an *****
- inactive, on 12/07/2007, -1/+8This is the Intelligence Committee membership for 2003, which is relevant, unlike the 2006-7 membership you lined to.
http://intelligence.senate.gov/members108thcongres ...
Notice that the GOP controls the committee, and also controlled the congress, in 2003-2005. The nature of the committee is that the minority party has half of the seats -1, but the majority party controls the Chairmanship and the agenda. - zachblume, on 12/07/2007, -3/+9They just pulled a watergate on our asses.
- uptown, on 12/07/2007, -0/+6Wherever there's a destroyed tape there's likely to be someone that hung onto a copy just in case.
- Cheysuli, on 12/07/2007, -0/+5Ogg, you're just trolling, right? You would give up freedom for theoretical safety? There is no such thing as giving up a 'little freedom'. I don't consider myself a conspiracy nut, but I can't help wondering if someone in the administration got ahold of a copy of '1984' and fell in love with the possibilities.
*edit for typo* - ndavisAA, on 12/07/2007, -0/+5Benjamin Franklin once said "Those who would sacrifice freedom for temporary security deserve neither." I believe him.
- parax, on 12/07/2007, -3/+8Why even bother to keep a list of their crimes? These people are never going to answer for it, they've virtually assured their immunity from prosecution. The people in charge of making them answer are in on the grift too. Halliburton commits crimes, Blackwater investigates them, and Bush's prosecutor du jour lets the file sit on the desk until people forget about it, while Fox distracts everyone with human interest stories.
It's far more likely you'll be tasered to death for pointing out the crime than anyone in this administration sees a courtroom from the defendants chair. Every social news web site has been washed with video and audio proof of these crimes for years, and not a single person has even come close to being prosecuted. They smile and say "I didn't say that." in a split screen of them admitting the same crime they're now denying, and nothing happens. They have a pig roast in hell every time a man just says "no" to a court summons or subpoena and then it just fades away.
"Give us all your email records, as you're required by law to keep."
"I deleted them."
"Oh, okay then. Sorry to bother you."
"Stop torturing people." (video of him torturing people plays in the background)
"I didn't torture anyone."
"What about that video?"
"It depends on how you define torture."
"Horrible agony, pain, leading to insanity?"
"I reject your definition."
"Oh, alright. Carry on."
They don't even cover up their crimes anymore because they've realized there's nothing we can do about it. - FloppyLlamaDigg, on 12/07/2007, -1/+6sick burn.
- imbob, on 12/07/2007, -1/+6PWNED! lol
- FloppyLlamaDigg, on 12/07/2007, -0/+5Not even that will work. They've already raped an entire country.
- ndavisAA, on 12/07/2007, -1/+6Can someone please tell me that last thing that the bush administration did that we liked and didn't violate our rights or our laws????
- AnarkeIncarnate, on 12/07/2007, -0/+5Simple solution. We water board (since it is not torture) anybody and everybody in the CIA till they give us the information
- banmaster, on 12/07/2007, -2/+6Shhh, I don't have time to be angry. American Idol is on!
- NotAChickenHawk, on 12/07/2007, -0/+4If I videotape my friend murdering his neighboor, and then destroy the tape right afterwards, that's legal, simply because no one requested it for a trial yet? Cause it would be according to what you just said.
- gropo, on 12/07/2007, -0/+4Actually, anyone who is capable of engaging in rational, non-vitriolic debate and discussion should be heard.
It's pretty clear you're not one of those people. (hence the constant account bans)
Did Mike Judge study you for character development in Idiocracy by any chance? - Acewrap, on 12/07/2007, -0/+4Coward. Go hide under your bed. "Oh no! The scary terrorist might get me! Hide!"
You make me sick. - inactive, on 12/07/2007, -0/+4yes and it shows me that the democrats are willing to look the other way right along with the republicans. i think that everyone knows what interogation techniques are being used at this point. though i understand the arguement of not wanting your face shown, i would assume that most had their faces covered like any good torturer would.
- jlhoben, on 12/07/2007, -0/+4The war on terror is a war on democracy.
- AnarkeIncarnate, on 12/07/2007, -0/+4You mean the fact that our nation has gone from being about freedom and liberty about a police state full of secrets and torture? What is more important and a "real" problem? Britney's kids?
- abran1984, on 12/07/2007, -0/+3This isn't a real problem to you?
- inactive, on 12/07/2007, -3/+6they don't have anything to do with 9/11 either
- inactive, on 12/07/2007, -1/+4it happens every time a new scandal is exposed - I'm beginning to suspect some kind of...conspiracy...
- ndavisAA, on 12/07/2007, -1/+4Which Terrorists? The ones in Afghanistan who attacked us on 9/11, or the American Taliban in the white house which is taking our freedom, ruining our country's image, devaluing the US dollar, torturing foreign prisoners, violating our constitution.... I will stop there
- bjornski, on 12/07/2007, -0/+3Actually, Nixon would look like a white knight compared to the criminals in office now.
I'm not saying he didn't deserve prison, because he did. But again, comparing to the criminals we have now, Nixon would be considered almost an environmental-wacko, communist-hugging, protectionist anti-capitalist. - MacEnvy, on 12/07/2007, -0/+3He lived 40 more years and never went to prison. Thanks a lot, Gerry Ford.
- DooM, on 12/07/2007, -0/+2Um... no they wouldn't. Unless it's Dick Cheney himself in the video waterboarding people and they do it to hide that fact the faces of the people who did it are irrelevant.
- inactive, on 12/07/2007, -0/+2it matters what the world thinks of us because we end up really having people who don't like our policies of terror around the globe and then try and attack the u.s. or blowback
- spyd3rweb, on 12/08/2007, -0/+2How would you know, they've been destroyed.
- spucky, on 12/08/2007, -0/+2I'm not sure who he was right before he got banned, but he has gone by handles of ru1ofus, 0vv0, o0xxx0o (where xxx was a number, there were hundreds of these), vvhy, vvtf, n00n and many others. His name has ranged from None Ya, to None Ya Biz, to Noonie Yah, to Nancy Dres and now is calling himself Naomi and he/she has changed sex so many times I'm sure it doesn't know what it is anymore. That is why it is such a self hating homophobe.
- DooM, on 12/07/2007, -1/+3"They were destroyed to protect identities"
That's understandable. I think I'm going to create a new technology that will enable us to keep sensitive video but still hide the identities of those IN the video... I'm thinking about calling it 'pixelating'. I'm going to be a wealthy government contractor for sure! - inactive, on 12/07/2007, -1/+3this article makes me sick to my stomach... i didn't finish it. can anybody tell me Hayden's reply as to why the tapes were ordered to be destroyed? and who ordered it?
- inactive, on 12/07/2007, -2/+4SURPRISE SURPRISE.....you really think they'd keep videotape of themselves engaging in criminal acts?
- pkonink, on 12/07/2007, -0/+2Precisely. Now pass those trans-fat flavored potato chips, chocolate-chip cake and that damn jug of Pepsi!
- BluesFan, on 12/07/2007, -0/+2And the tipping point would be......
- banmaster, on 12/07/2007, -0/+2Actually, I'd have no trouble that they record those acts taking place, so they can relive the torture again and again later for their own ***** up pleasure!
- BobbyVan, on 12/07/2007, -0/+2Jane Harman is a Democrat.
- MadScientist68, on 12/07/2007, -3/+5It was reported in a different source that they had actually notified Congress (both dems and repubs) that they were about to destroy the tapes so that nothing seedy would be suspected. You have to admit that they had a good reason to delete them. How wold you like it if you were doingi your job, away from your family for months, and then a video leaks out showing you doing this, and then you and your family immediately become Al Qaeda targets? Not to mention that it would show our techniques to Al Qaeda so that they could train to resist the torture. Then we might have to REALLY hurt them in order to get any intel.
- inactive, on 12/07/2007, -0/+2i'm angry
- inactive, on 12/07/2007, -0/+2though i can see how you wouldn't be able to tell by the way she votes.
