Default Delahunt To Addington: Maybe Al Qaeda Will See You On C-SPAN


Delahunt To Addington: Maybe Al Qaeda Will See You On C-SPAN

Quote:
One of the most curious exchanges in today's testy hearing in the House Judiciary Committee was this exchange between Rep. Wiliam Delanhunt (D-Mass.) and David Addington, chief of staff to Vice President Cheney.

Addington had acknowledged earlier in the hearing that he took part in discussions with CIA lawyers over the agency's interrogation policies. Delahunt tried to find out what Addington knew about the use of waterboarding on suspected Al Qaeda terrorists, or more specifically, whether Addington knew it was approved as an interrogation technique.

Addington told Delahunt he couldn't discuss specific techniques being used, or even discussed for use, by CIA agents because terrorists may be watching his appearance and would gain insight into what U.S. intelligence agents are up to.

"You kind of communicate with Al Qaeda if you do. I can't talk to you because Al Qaeda may watch C-SPAN," Addington said.

Delahunt responded: "I'm sure they are watching. I'm glad they finally have a chance to see you, Mr. Addington, given your penchant for being unobtrusive."

Republicans aren't too happy with Delahunt's joke.
Ummm...Ya think!?!?!...

Let's see...A Congressman just told the vice president's chief of staff he's glad the enemy now knows what he looks like...

Delahunt will no doubt say it wasn't a threat, but if you listen to Addington's response (not shown by cbsnews in the article, but the video clearly has Addington saying "I'm sure you're pleased") he definitely took it as one...

Delahunt is frustrated by these freaks Addington is a freak. Just like John Yoo. And Cheney and Scooter. These are people that would have been better suited working in the kremlin.

Another case of ignoring your own problems by trying to shift the discussion to an attack against the right...

So you're OK with Addington's comment???

The cloud of secrecy they insist on working inside, while the American people lose their privacy but the government gains barriers to common man knowledge of how his government is working.
It's disgusting.

Quite frankly, I'm sick of the stupid double standard.
Hasn't the White House ALREADY ADMITTED to the country that water-boarding HAS BEEN USED in a select few cases???

I mean, the cat is ALREADY OUT OF THE BAG!
For some reason, the knowledge OF the act is supposedly NOT going to damage the country, but knowing whether or not specific Republicans HAD that knowledge of the events, or were party to planning it, is somehow a country secret???

The only interest here is obviously partisan Republican covering their butt.

Do you support his comments? I haven't heard a word from anyone on the "left" that isn't either a defence of Delahunt or an attack on the "right". Does your crap not stink? Do you not care about problem within your own leadership? Your a pretty basic liberal, the folks who spent the last 50 years marching in circles, carrying signs demanding justice. Where's your outrage at this?

I am a little tired of republican whining. They do an awful lot of it lately. Oh someone said the McCains getting shot down doesn't qualify him to be President. And the right gets their panties in a mess. After the swiftboating of Kerry you guys have no standing. You know perfectly well that if getting shhot down qualified you to be POTUS. Hillary would have gone down in flames to win.

Republicans. The touchy whiny party.

The presumptive Democratic nominee actually put up a website because of perceived smears and you say the Republicans are whining...

Ummm...Yeah...

So refuting inaccurate smears is now "whining"?

Maybe we should all chip in and figure out which Republicans need new dictionaries...
