- EntropyMan, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13That's what's amazing to me, AppleAnn. You can ignore the fact that Cheney has already steered hundreds of millions of dollars to Halliburton -- even $360M to build new detention camps in the US, for who knows what -- and still blame democrats. It's truly sad.

- CaptainNoPants, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Any information received from Tenet should be checked for accuracy before being released.

Isn't the article about Gitmo and Sen. Feinstein? Why would appleann1 mention Cheney, or Halliburton? It was Feinstein's husband who got $600 million. What amazes me is that people can find a way to bring up Bush, Cheney, Halliburton, and the rest of the gang in articles that aren't about them. - slapout, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Is Sen. Feinstein going to let all the detainees come live with her?
- EntropyMan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2@nixonrichard, why would anyone suggest Feinstein had any financial benefit from closing gitmo? Do you seriously believe that's even remotely true? And I think the Hallibuton contract to build prisons in the US is directly relevant to closing Gitmo. Where do you think these detainees would go? And frankly, who benefits financially from the continued operation of Gitmo now? You might want to check that.
- aceg1357, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Tenet, no fan of Bush, said Gitmo was more valuable than all the US intel agencies combined and has foiled multiple plots to kill massive amounts of people. That really says something. The U.S. needs to keep this place open.
- appleann1, on 10/12/2007, -11/+11Maybe we could move it to San Francisco, and give her husband the contract.
- MercedRocks, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I say move em' to San Quentin and let the Mexican Mafia or the Aryan Brotherhood sort em' out. :)
These guys will be begging to go back to GITMO. - ajkrik, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Yeah, and everyone thinks he's a criminal and the devil. Humm. . . hypocritical much?
- Prysorra, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4b-b-b-but....Cheney!
Oh man, the coming decade is gonna rock. - Justavian, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I don't want people to be tortured anymore than i want to be tortured myself. But it's something i've logically come to terms with. Islamic fundamentalists (who, if you want to be intellectually honest, are just following the word of their holy book to the letter) would like to see all civilization either converted, subjugated, or dead. If you'd like to fall into one of those three categories, then we can all agree that we'll not torture anyone. These people have no scruples, and if we want to survive, we'll be forced to reduce our own scruples. We're coming into a time when nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons will be available to virtually anyone - a time when a single man may decide the fate of entire cities, or even civilization itself. Total pacifism is an immoral stance in this kind of world - it will only work if everyone else in the world agrees to the same pact of total non-agression. Good luck with that.
I despise the idea of war and violence in general. But until we can have open discussions about the dangers that all unmoderated faith based religions pose to humanity, we're surely going to be forced to choose the lesser of two evils. - ajkrik, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4Enough said about the hypocritical Feinstein:
