Interesting...

Yes, I know that some people would like the whole Bush era to get swept under the rug and for focus to remain on Obama, but if Clinton's "depends on what the definition of 'is' is" moment can be brought up, Bush is still fair game

Former CIA agent exposes Bush administration fictions

Something to chew on whilst we await the pundits & shock jocks to decide certain people's opinions of the debt ceiling deal.

Australian politics must be awfully boring, awfully inconsequential.

Yeah, you're such an original, BS. We've never heard your conclusions and arguments before. . .

Interesting - not much of that sort of thing was done by our side even in WWII. Sounds a lot like the Chinese / North Korean brainwashing techniques during the Korean War (Manchurian Candidate stuff).

The psychology of this and the sale of it to the American people shows just how easily something like the WWII Japanese/American internment can be sold, even now with our instant communications and shrunken world.

Must make you proud to be an American.

So you're calling him a liar. Otherwise, regardless of how it is titled, the activities described are immoral and wrong.

It fits with what else is known and what Cheney himself has unashamedly admitted to in numerous interviews.

I'd say the correct assessment is that you are a willfully blind right winger.

a) He's a former CIA agent
b) He is pushing his new book
c) It's worthless fodder that's honey only to the MSM and gulible libs who can't seem to get rid of the hardon they've had for Bush and his admin for the better part of the last decade....... GTFOI

Oh and Sloop, in the short time you've been here you've become quit the liberial lemming yourself; If I was you I would contact Bent to make sure he wears a airbag on his ass, I'd hate to read you broke your nose the next time he stops real quick or backpeddles

Gee Pappy, it's not MY name that begins with POOP. As far as being a lemming goes, I have also had "bloody right wing rubbish" written in response to a post of mine, so?????? What's it like in Ragnars' rocket exhaust??

And just by the by, the whole lemmings off a cliff thing was exposed as Hollywood crap years ago - White Wilderness, which I loved as a child, was responsible for it becoming conventional wisdom. They don't actually do it. It's MUCH more contemporary to call us Sheeple these days.

The unsupported word of one person, with a profit motive in his narrative. But, he gets instant and unquestioned belief because it damages Bush.
