C-Span! Waxman/Pelosi Just called for Independent Investigation/Gitmo! |
|
Edited on Tue Jun-21-05 12:13 PM by KoKo01
170 Members of Congress (Dems) have signed on for a Bill. Pelosi, Waxman, Harmon and Skelton are speaking about the need to keep America Safer by holding and investigations and establishing critera and accountabilty for our policy in holding these detainees. Also investigation into abuses and how high up the chain of command they go.
They are calling for us to Petition our Representatives to call for the immediate establishment of a Commission to investigate this. What is the "chain of command" Pelosi says.
Reporter asked how can Dems get support since they can't get anything done even though they petition. Pelosi said that the citizens have petitioned in the past and the 9/11 Victims managed to force a Bi-Partisan Commission to investigate what happened there.
Pelosi and Waxman were great when a coupld of the "Media Whore Press" kept trying to get her to attack Senator Durbin for comments and to defend accusations by Delay that Pelosi and Durbin were unpatriotic and not supporting the troops. Both Pelosi and Waxman said "This is nothing but diversionary Repuglican Politics to take the heat off the publics disapproval of a war we went into without proper intelligence, preparation or planning to get out of. Waxman said Delay uses McCarthyite tactics to tar anyone asking questions as unpatriotic.
Both of them really gave it back to the two slimy reporters who kept trying to get them to defend themselves against Delay.
They need our help with contacting our Representatives and more petitions.

game of responding, just use the face/camera time to slam them down for the bad things they've done to this country and keep on pressing "the people of the US want...."
Well done!
