As Clinton made her first appearance before Congress as the nation's top diplomat, California Republican Dana Rohrbacher asked if the administration planned to heed Cheney's call to release documents showing information gained as a result of the Bush administration's aggressive interrogation techniques.

"Well, it won't surprise you that I don't consider him to be a particularly reliable source of information," Clinton said, to laughter from many in the committee room.



The results I saw were the commanders in Afghanistan constantly asking for more troops. A stronger Taliban and terrorism camps spreading into Pakistan!

While its a good comment on her part, it doesnt really answer the question.

So why didn't Bush & Cheney ever give us some of these results? Recently, all the concern was about letting the enemy know the torture techniques. They could have said "we found a nuke" or whatever.

I think it indirectly answered the question, if what she meant was that she thinks he's lying and there are no such memos.

Liberal! How dare you suggest Cheney or the shrub would ever utter a lie! Christians would never do that!

But they are politicians. Wouldn't that be conflicting?

Well, the fact that there hasn't been a terrorist attack in America since 9/11 is a result of the Bush adminsistration's defensive tactits, clearly?

That might be the most appropriate use of a question mark I've seen all week.

Maybe because they all died on 9-11? Maybe because this is the way bin Ladin operates. (he struck in 93 then 8 years later) Maybe because it's impossible to hijack an American plane anymore. And most likely that is was Cheney that hired people to show Al-Qaida how to attack America, in order to keep Military-Industrial Complex welfare programs running like the Raptor F-22.

What kind of idiotic tactic was it to allow Iraqis to loot right in front of our soldiers? Then allow that looting to become more organized? Then wait even longer for the organized looting to turn into violence?

lolwut?

1. Bin Laden is not the only man capable and willing to attack America.

2. It isn't 'impossible' to hijack an American plane, and an attack in America doesn't have to be a plane-hijacking.

3. I won't even deal with your ridiculous tin-foil hat comment.

The question mark and I are old college buddies. We know how to use each other, quite appropriately. ;)

Anyone trying to hijack an Americam plane today would be beat to smithereens by the passengers before they could get out one Allah akbar.

Cheney was a war mongering, profiteer. Practicly everything Bush & Cheney did was designed to strengthen the enemy.

Whereas before Bush, the US was regularly getting attacked by international terrorists?

When we are talking about 1 successful international terror attack in the US history, any attempt to draw meaningful conclusions about the effectiveness of security measure based purely on the number of terrorist attacks is just a little ridiculous.

I think I'm gonna like you.

Well what about the WTC bombing just a decade or so earlier? (before 9/11)

1941, 1993 and 2001 does not constitute a regular basis.
