Lynndie England

the Hutton Enquiry had such narrow terms of reference that there could only be one outcome, Blair not lying...The other enquiries were also a joke.

Don't forget the high quality George Bush inquiry where he had to go nito a private room, not take an oath, have no transcript taken and have everyone sworn to secrecy. Surely the actions of a man telling the truth, of course...

[hamish]

Yeah, Pineapple Stu, I'll say one thing for the Bush/neocons - the fact that they can keep straight faces everytime they make statements is an astonishing achievement.

Anyone see the Dutch made programme on her on RTE Sunday night??

Seen a few minutes. She came across better than normal but seemed to very focused on her side of the story. Real rednecks though. However think they made valid point about small group of reservists been blamed for everything & silence from everyone else.

[hamish]

Put a human face on her to some extent.
I've no doubt, Pete, that the likes of Rumsfeldt and, today, Gonzalez have set the tone as it were, for rules of war etc etc etc to be er.....adapted, for the US's convenience.
Remember Gonzalez and his comment that the Geneva Convention was "quaint"??
That neocon shower - y'know, just when you think how low they are, they somehow manage to sink even lower.
Pond life, the lot of them.

Well, I suppose we could always try England and her superiors all the way up the chain of command in an international court or law.

Oh, wait... Wonder who's holding that up?

Hey Pineapple Stu - just got my regular Amnesty pack today and right on Q - a devastating report on the good ol' USA.

That moron Bill O'Reilly on his Factor (out the truth) show on Faux "News" promptly took umbrage.

All us Amnesty members are now radical, far left, Trotskyites who hate the US and will get Yanks killed all over the world.

I tried to remember more, when I wasn't p!ss!ng myself laughing (will have to get rid of that habit ) but the above is about the most coherent part I could understand that eejit mouthing.

Maybe some day when he gets stuck in some hellhole prison in some crazy part of the world, he might be grateful to some far-leftiess fighting to get him out (like.....er...Amnesty) before some big guy called Pedro or Michael or Whang decided to make him his "friend".

The again, a chickenhawk like him and all his friends in power (White House etc) would not find themselves in dangerous places, would they?

I love it when he (repeatedly) says "I've been in combat" - even to army guys - he spent time in Central America spewing pro-US propaganda which I'm sure was spent in a safe place like the nearest US embassy when all he needed was PR handouts.

The Lyndie Englands of this world are, in part, moulded by clowns like O'Liley and his ilk.

And we wonder why 50% of the US is fcuked up and right wing??
