SubscribeSenate To Probe Sheik Mohammed’s Treatment
From an outraged Washington Post:
US Senators Lindsay Graham (R), R-SC, and Carl Levin, D-MI, speak to reporters in 2005. Graham and Levin, the two US senators who witnessed the questioning of the suspected mastermind of the September 11 attacks, have urged officials to investigate his allegations of being badly treated.
Probe of Al-Qaeda Leader’s Handling Sought
Senators Urge Inquiry After Mohammed Alleges Abuse
By Dafna Linzer and Josh White
Saturday, March 17, 2007; Page A15Two senators who observed last week’s closed military proceedings against al-Qaeda leader Khalid Sheik Mohammed called for an investigation into allegations that the accused planner of the Sept. 11 attacks was physically abused while in CIA custody.
Mohammed told the tribunal last Saturday that he had been mistreated during three years in CIA custody before his transfer to Guantanamo Bay, and he submitted a written description of the alleged abuse. The military panel immediately classified the submission and redacted from transcripts any detail of Mohammed’s treatment in the CIA’s secret prison program.
We have officially passed through the looking glass.

They are just going to investigate every single thing that comes out in the news. The good part is that after about the 943rd investigation, people are going to stop paying attention. A congressional investigation won’t be worth a thing. Having so many investigations is going to backfire on them.

Lindsey Graham is a reserve Lt.Col. in the USAF JAG corps, and is a disgrace to his uniform and his country. He should be court martialed for sympathizing with the enemy.

If the US Attorney situation was any indication, Republicans will soon join in the call for an investigation and no one from the Bush administration will say one word in their defense…

“Senators Urge Inquiry After Mohammed Alleges Abuse”. Playing right to al-Qaeda’s plan.
“….the accused planner of the Sept. 11 attacks was physically abused while in CIA custody.” I should certainly hope so.
This terrorist confesses to planning dozens of terror attacks against us, including 09/11/01, and the Senators’ concern is whether anyone may have put a pair of panties on his head.
Now if they would show as much concern for the lives of innocent Americans.
These two poseurs are a disgrace. Didn’t they take an oath to “defend the Constitution from all enemies, both foreign and domestic”? Traitors.
Just one more ringing endorsement for “term limits”.

Is there any chance that someone can grab these jerks, bitch slap them and read them the riot act using Pattonesque language? I really am getting fed up with this nonsense. Two U.S. Senators commenting on KSM should be congratualting our guys on the good work in getting the truth out of KSM, not being concerned about whether KSM was abused. KSM did not just abuse thousands of Americans; KSM was and is a terrorist responsible for their deaths.
We are going to execute KSM, aren’t we?

Page one from the Al-Qaeda handbook, Scream abuse and play the victim!
Scribe two more names in book of traiters.

What a dilemma for the Democrats like Waxman!
Currently pretending like they give a crap about the CIA (who they actually hate) and the non-outing of an desk-jockey who was about as “covert” as a ham sandwich…
Now they have to decide how long they can wait until returning to their default position.
That is: accusing the CIA to be at least the equivalent as the Nazis. If not actually worse. The SSCIA.

Well, well, well. The sooner we rid D.C. of a**holes like these 2 dhimmies the better. As the saying continues: Remember 9-11. Which to arseholes like them always ends with a question mark. Rosie O’Donnell must be their advisor for matters such as this and so they move forward. I am as about as livid as most who are true American patriots of the outrageous manner in which most of the Dems and RINO’s have displayed over these last 7 years.
It’s disgusting and the Right had better rise up and clear the decks in Washington when 2008 gives the opportunity to do so.
p.s. Watch out for Mitt. He is a Lefty sheep in conservative clothing.

I really have to question the judgement of someone who wears that bad of a comb-over. I mean really, how can he not know? It’s not like he doesn’t see photos of himself everywhere. How can he not see how bad it looks? Apparantly he is a “Ben Franklin wanna-be”. Maybe he needs to fire the staff member who told him the comb-over looks better than being bald. He isn’t fooling anyone. We all know he is bald. Get over it and embrace your baldness dude.

Willie — I can sort of forgive the comb-over.
It’s the dumb-over that really ticks me off.

What abuse? Was he denied the “good cigarettes” and doritoes? C’mon! This man is worse than Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy combined. Anything more than basic life support is too good for him. Now that we’ve gotten all the information out of him we need, we should rendition him from an airplane…without a parachute.
Everytime these politicians line up to denounce the “mistreatment” of one of these monsters, it makes me wonder what is wrong with the voters in this country that they don’t care at all for their children and grandchildren and keep elected these window lickers. Is their moral outrage more important than a future? Jawdroppingly stupid.
My only hope is that they call for an investigation to prove that there was no mistreatment. But somehow I don’t think that’s the reason for the pompous grandstanding.

Ah GG, They must keep the pot stirred to show how superior they are, How they are above reproach.
Personally I think they should be rendered limb from limb in public.
