Ruhel Ahmed on MSNBC : Bush is a terrorist
He was released, after 2 years, from Gitmo. He's suing the US government for millions. And he just told Nora O'D that Osama is a terrorist and so is Bush because they both use torture. And that two wrongs don't make a right.

I thought Nora's skin would melt. She's loud and argumentative while Ruhel A. is a quiet man unmoved by her belligerent behavior.

2. Could Noraaargghhh possibly be MORE of a TOOL?
I swear, she was making me sick with her gingoistic questioning of Ahmed. ("You're calling the president of the United States a TERRORIST? Well, ah nevah!!!") He held his ground and it was beautiful!

6. I hope it makes it to Crooks and Liars
I don't know about his case. But it seems that he deserves to be allowed to give his honest opinion without being badgered by her hyperbole. Let the courts sort out his case.

3. i saw that, that O'Donnell woman looked like she was going to blow
a gasket. WTF does she not understand, he was picked up for being in Afghanistan, never charged with anything and tortured and she can't figure out why he would say that? Kudos to him for remaining cool and composed.

7. I can never understand these sycophants who...
...think the fact that someone is 'President of the United States' renders them into an object of worship. By and large, the President is just another career politician, who got where he is by the usual political means of cronyism and the art of the well-timed backstab. Treating them with undue respect by simple virtue of their job title is idiotic beyond belief. It's like worshiping a rattlesnake for doing what comes naturally.

9. Now she has Cully Stimson, the official in charge of torture at Gitmo
"Ahmed is a terrorist"
"He wasn't tortured"
"Our techniques are legal"
"Three square meals a day"
"They get McDonald's" !?

He's a Rush Limbaugh approved fascist.

14. Oh, I see - they get to choose their torture?
A version of "Have it you're way - at Mcdonald's!"

11. Cully Stimson is a bald-faced liar.
In 2003, Sanchez authorized the use of interrogation techniques that go well beyond those listed in the Army Field Manual.
