4. I ddn't want to believe it as it was at the end of the segment and thought I could have misheard.
Gaffney is one of the original 'invade' cheerleaders that I pray will end up before an International War Crimes court someday...

2. That's the current story.
It's not true. It has never been true. The only thing that is really exceptional about the United States is its brutality, and it has been thus for some time.

Ask those in South America. Most of their dictators were installed by the US; some were trained at the school of the Americas.

5. tweety actually disagreed with him for once. I saw that segment. Gaffney
is such a baldfaced liar.

remember this:

http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/02/16/glenn-greenwald-exposes-frank-gaffney/

tweety should lose his job merely for EVER having Gaffney on there. why doesn't he confront him on his fabricated quote whenever he comes on the show?

I heard the radio show during which Gaffney and Greenwald had the exchange. it was Alan Colmes, of all people, and he really went after Gaffney, who was undressed and exposed as the filthy liar he is

6. That was some furious denial happening.
Tweety said if someone in authority has to be nailed for this,the world is watching.

10. Why not? That is this administrations official lie- oops I mean line.
And they never go off script, bless their hearts, even when caught in a bold faced lie and confronted by irrefutable facts.

12. Some kids dreamed it up...
kids like this asshole



who was only doing what these assholes wanted









and these assholes are responsible



Sure, some kids in the military did it. Right. :sarcasm:

(General Miller, Gonzales, Cambone, Feith, Rumsfeld, Bush & Cheney... ALL ARE WAR CRIMINALS!!! Along with others!)

13. Gaffney is bought and paid for
He insists that all this hullabaloo over the silly little torture thing is much ado about nothing...just some misguided kids left alone without supervision.

He deserves a fresh set of electrodes on his balls. Just as funny little prank, of course.
