c-span3 is streaming the afternoon Senate Armed Services Comm hearing.

Justa headsup.

Graham is asking about having enough troops to do intelligence gathering.

1. Could you update?

Thanks...

[TacticalPeek]

2. Lindsay graham has no shame. "Appeasement doesn't work."

I'd like him to cite one call for 'appeasement'.

Ben Nelson questioning now. Establishing that the Army has not yet established whether there were higher commanders involved or not.

3. Appeasement?

Iraq wasn't the fucking Nazi empire. I can't deal with this.

[TacticalPeek]

4. Talent up now. I'll try to type and hold my nose at the same time.

About knowing how particularly to humilate Muslim men, etc.

Says a lot of people know about Islam lately, and the offenders may have 'just known' these specific tricks. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Hubert Flottz]

5. Jeff "Davis" Sessions

:puke: +

[TacticalPeek]

6. David Pryor was asking how prisoners are handled now.

A general said the 'common criminals' are now handled by the Iraqis. Pryor asked about a "secret court" in this regard. The general said it must be secret, because he had not heard of it. ?????????????????

Lost stream and had to reboot. It is playing here:

7. Have any Dem senators conducted any questions yet?

8. Levin has just gotten a line drawn by the intel LTG.

From Nov 19th 2003 on, MI controlled AG. Of course that's known already but first time I've heard it clearly owned up to, but he does it to say that offenses BEFORE then fall to the MP command.

And Warner is actually doing good questioning. About how these higher ups seemed to have their head up their ass while this went on. In so many words.

And I love how Warner is lapsing into "the CINCS" terminology, banned by the Emperor Chimp-in-Chief.

Warner and Levin are zeroing in on some command fubar. Nelson (FL) says he will come back to it in his time, puts Clinton up now.
