They were participants in a top-secret operation to interrogate some 4,000 Nazi prisoners of war. Until now, they have kept silent, but America’s recent record prompted them to talk to The Washington Post.

George Frenkel, 87, recalled that he “never laid hands on anyone” in his many interrogations, adding, “I’m proud to say I never compromised my humanity.”

Throw in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo and secret detention centers in Eastern Europe. Look at the banana republicanism evinced by Administration lawyers during midnight sick-bed hospital visits. Think about the hypocrisy of calling for elections in the Palestinian territories and then cutting off aid to the victors, at least as seen from the vantage point of a region vastly skeptical of our democracy-promotion agenda. The list goes on and on.

But one can see that the lying has failed.

Still can't believe she can manage to put a smile on her face for the cameras.

And putting your head in the sand about what's going on doesn't protect you from the moral consequences one bit, Condi.

won't cover up this smell!

but certainly it has seen new lows in the past several years, starting with the coup of 2000.

As do all bushies. They maim, they kill, they torture, they shred laws and the constitution and can't understand why many do not trust them.

I had high hopes for her, but she turned out to just be another of Them. What a letdown.

LMAO

She's a tiresome piece of shit

(with apologies to my English teachers for the fading memory)

senseless with the stiletto heel. :eyes:

"Denial is not just a river in Egypt."

Condi: You can't lose something you never had.

TC

how dare they accuse us of "losing" the moral highground!

She is the most disgusting woman in the world.

Putin knows that unless we do something drastic, we're in no shape to face off against him or China, and he's using that fact to great advantage lately...

They could care less about our moral authority, but they love the fact that the world doesn't listen to us much anymore.

:think:

simply shock and cower anybody and everybody who obstructs their barbarism.

In Condi's world maybe.

ontheir hands, they ALWAYS have the moral highground.

:puke:

if you haven't seen the video, you must..Amazing but as we Duers suspected all along.

speach is 47min long..I watched and was glad I took the time to listen.
