The CIA Torture "Cover-Up"


Earlier this evening, I saw a report on NBC Nightly News regarding the "supposed" CIA Torture Cover-up resulting from the admitted destruction of video evidence by the CIA of the CIA torturing a terrorist. First of all, Teddy Kennedy appeared complaining about the CIA breaking the law and trying to cover-up the crime.


Let's ask Mary Jo Kopechne's family if Teddy has any right to call anyone a criminal for attempting a cover-up. In case you have forgotten, back in 1969, Teddy was driving drunk with Mary Jo out on a date (yes, Teddy was married but not to Mary Jo) when Teddy lost control of his car and drove off the Chappaquidick Bridge. Teddy managed to get out of the car but Mary Jo didn't. Teddy spent nine hours trying to figure out how to cover the incident up. In the meantime, Mary Jo died. Teddy walked away with NO CHARGES FILED.


TEDDY BROKE THE LAW AND ATTEMPTED TO COVER UP A CRIME !!!! WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS TO QUESTION THE CIA FOR THE SAME THING. PEOPLE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULDN'T THROW STONES. HE NEEDS TO SHUT UP AND GO HOME.

Can you tell I am not a big fan of Teddy Kennedy?

Next up to the mike was Senator John McCain, whom I salute for his service and his time served as a POW during the Viet Nam War. However, serving as a POW does NOT automatically make him an expert on the Geneva Conventions, although he would like you to think he is. I know the tenets of the 3rd Geneva Conventions of 1949, but I won't ask you to take my word for it, you can read it for yourself.

Here is a link to the document: http://www.icrc.org/ihl.nsf/FULL/375?OpenDocument

OK, I apologize, it contains a lot of whereas and wherefore legalese but if you wade through it carefully, particularly who qualifies as a prisoner of war under Article 4, you will find that TERRORISTS ARE NOT PROTECTED UNDER THE GENEVA CONVENTIONS. They are terrorists and are subject to torture if we want to torture them. Terrorists act ILLEGALLY and as such are not afforded any protections. Terrorists who are NOT U.S. CITIZENS, have NO PROTECTION UNDER OUR CONSTITUTION.

John McCain and members of the Defeatocrat party may not like it but lying about it does not change it. The lying about it is a standard LIBERAL TRICK: If you repeat the same lie often enough, the uneducated and/or uninformed will eventually believe the lie to be true.

Don't be tricked by the lies. Torture is what the terrorists deserve because it is NOT ILLEGAL, and torture is what they should get. I will continue to repeat it, terrorism can only be defeated by a position of strength.
