pieces which are reporting
in fact they got some great devastating closer in cyprus or you know it's
devastating cold out
he was enemies you know we also about how cold how old are not so bad he was
against iraq war
later he wanted to be having objections that
torture when people begin to find out how bad it was abu grabe et cetera
but he was in the eighties
and he signed off on a personal
that's that's a mistake you don't recover from
here's john asr
and international was it
critical player
his attorney general he's alone this is the uh... it's legal job and do it andy
authorizing welcome jerry jones omens legal what can i do it right
they keep coming back to them it is an interesting part of it
to keep coming back to them for every different detainee because the c_i_a_
before has has gotten into trouble for the study did in vietnam
it'd partly in iran contra and they don't want to be labeled a rogue agency
that's doing it on their own because that's how the politicians do it
they tell the militant activists say that's it
data off i was also say but the roads i hope the rest of milk they're bad apples
right
so the c_i_a_ now

and we need permission

and every time the people of principles and cheney rumsfeld powell writes they
all

how step-by-step
bronze sculpture actual track the all said yes
learned that the c_i_a_ awsome you get that specific
in his word john aspect of this error
why are we talking about this in the white house is a direct quote
why are we talking about this in the white house
this rule doctors this kind
when you said that right on it for us
history will not just this kind
but the funny part is you know where for a person
site look haven't joined and don't ask us
misconstrue wanted pastime
moderator stayed all but i kind of public lecture itis allowed to come back
and working
i don't want to hurt my reputation
cop pancho bad guys and
is anybody paying the price
here they are they broke the law office as anybody paying the price
nobody
they thought and his end of the vanity fair please senator
the thought
well it's no problem because we'll pass a law
and this sucker democrats will go along with it
will halt the military commissions act
inside military commissions that
will put it that uh... clause that says were in the nicer any of this and can
never be held responsible
in the united states core
and they get and democrats not all the muslim morgan said but enough of them
went along with it before to passed by the word two thousand six election
so hot their community than ever had
bodies for
but very fair when talk to their rights
uh... judges and lawyers
not just like he read was was that actually force the law
international law
in new york
and one of the lawyers but then said
all that was a stupid mistake on their
nanny for
fair writer for the chance that some why was that stupid it seems like they got
immunity
she may be at the weapons that
now because this goes to show exactly will be
to prosecute them somewhere else
who's the person we have to prove is that they will not be prosecuted in
their home country
and military commissions packed guarantees that they will not be
prosecuting the united states
so if they make a mistake to go to another country
where they are clear violation of international law they can get
a cap on the shoulder
mr rumsfeld
you're under arrest
or breaking international law
plaguing the geneva conventions during torture
when is that offer
as flip says this was an article you might think that sensible
but they don't
they've done it before they did the other augusta piche of chile
and it's not on precedent in a definitely abhisit might not have a
moral
but they got out
dogfight
done once felt
by the u
pains in his as legal counsel gone wrong spelt
all the people ashcroft all the people who signed up and insults rights all the
people who signed up on those torture memos
for the rest of their lives they better be careful what country they go to
because they did tap on the shoulder somebody says you're under arrest
yes
