1. nevermind.. Leahy just saying goodbye

[nashville_brook]

2. i don't like Leahy's chumminess with the Muke.

[annabanana]

3. America's moral authority is undermined, and endangers American

around the Globe. Our friends wonder why we can't just say such things are WRONG., If an American was waterboarded anywhere in the world it would be condemned!

[countryjake]

5. We have strayed. Short on accountability

[buzzard]

12. Or possibly invaded.

[annabanana]

4. And yet our own AG cannot say that even waterboarding an American is illegal.

[Subdivisions]

7. To do so would bring the whole goddamned thing down. n/t

[annabanana]

6. I can say that the whole committee want the DOJ to be the best in the world.

Mr AG, you're free to say anything you like.. you get the last word.

[Duer 157099]

8. Leahy waxes patriotic about how people around the world

cannot understand why we cannot just say that waterboarding is wrong.

Well Leahy, let me clue you in on something: those same people all over the world also wonder why you guys don't impeach Bush.

And your answer?

[annabanana]

9. Muk: Wants to be able to leave shaking hands....(Leahy shouldn't shake his hand)

[annabanana]

10. Leahy says he'll work with him when things get better....

[Subdivisions]

11. These guys are going to go out and have a beer this evening. n/t

[Subdivisions]

14. CODE PINK ALERT!!!

[L. Coyote]

15. Who was that? Code Pink?

[annabanana]

16. Could have been ANY concerned citizen.. Code PInk is just good at getting in the door!

[Duer 157099]

17. I wanted to hear them scream "YOU'RE out of order!!!"

when Leahy told the officers to "restore order"

[L. Coyote]
