Sen. Graham: White House Held Military Lawyers In 5 Hour Meeting and
‘Tried To Force Them To Sign A Prepared Statement’
This morning, President Bush was questioned
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/09/20060914-5.html about
Gen. Colin Powell’s letter criticizing White House legislation that
would authorize torture.
http://thinkprogress.org/2006/09/14/powell-letter/
Bush tried to downplay Powell’s letter by pointing to another letter
signed by the military’s top uniformed lawyers saying they supported
Bush’s plan:
BUSH:
There’s all kinds of letters coming out -- and today, by the way,
active duty personnel in the Pentagon, the JAG, supported the concept
that I have just outlined to you.
But during today’s White House press conference, a reporter cited
comments by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) -- a former JAG and an opponent
of the Bush’s detainee policies -- claiming that the White House had
placed extreme pressure on the military lawyers to sign a statement,
and that the lawyers had refused to sign the initial statement crafted
for them by the White House:

REPORTER:
Sen. Graham is telling reporters on Capitol Hill that the White House
had them in a meeting for five hours last night and tried to force
them to sign a prepared statement and he said reading this JAG letter
they ended up writing leaves total ambiguity on interpretation, this
is Sen. Lindsey Graham.
What’s your response to that?
Snow acknowledged "they were asked to write a letter" but said, "if
you start going into who asked whom to write letters, I don’t know."

Islamic Republic of BAGHDAD! Trenches around it against hostile neighbor
IRAQ !!! Yes, IRAQ!
If this is not enough to throw the imbecile gwb in an asylum along with
rummy,
the U.S. is really gone! And you with it!
Iraq's interior ministry has announced plans to increase security in Baghdad
by digging trenches AROUND THE CITY, and surrounding it with checkpoints.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5349398.stm
The new republic of Baghdad - free and democratic!
BWAAA HAAAA HAAAA - REPUBLICAN IDIOTS AT WORK!
This after yesterday Iraq+Iran have just made Bush & the formerly great U.S.
look like
stupid idiots.
SEE them shaking hands and smiling WHILE 2 AMERICAN SOLDIERS HAVE JUST
DIED!!! FOR WHAT???
Bush's folly ... helped by imbecile religious zealots, uneducated imbreeding
rednecks ...
"The American military today reported the deaths of two soldiers, one killed
by a roadside bomb south of Baghdad late Tuesday, the other killed on Monday
in combat in Anbar province in the country's west. " FOR WHAT????
BUT CHECK THIS OUT - UNBELIEVABLE!
"In Tehran, Mr. Maliki met with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and declared
afterwards that "even in security issues, there is no barrier in the way of
cooperation." For his part, Mr. Ahmadinejad said, "Iran will give its
assistance to establish complete security in Iraq, because Iraq's security
is Iran's security." It was not clear what form Iranian support on security
would take, or how it would be regarded by the American authorities here."
