"Just following orders...I mean our own protocols"

1. I am getting so sick of hearing the same damn answer time and time again.

Do any of these guys have a conscience? Any of them? Just one?

"I can't comment."
"I respectfully decline to comment."
"Not to my knowledge."
"All I can tell you is we followed our protocol."

Throw them all in prison and let them rot.

2. This is why we need our next President

to actively go after the Bush admin. and not cover their crimes up. We can allow them to get away with torture.

3. Wexler..thank God for this guy...at least he tries and tries..I am proud of that

It has been such a dark time, I find myself hanging on every word Wexler says, just to feel that yes! there are normal good people in our government.I know how naive that must sound but its just the way I feel about it.

4. "Just following orders...I mean our own protocols"

I loved that movie with Spencer Tracy; Judgment at Nuremberg.

6. I would like to see all the other Congressmembers cede their

time to Congressman Wexler in a situation like this so that he can follow through on his line of questioning until he gets an adequate response. The witnesses know that if they can just play out the clock, they can avoid giving satisfactory answers. It has become a game: Beat the clock. The Congress needs to revise its rules in these hearings so that witnesses can't play the Congress for fools. Wexler was on to something. But he was not permitted to have the time to trace it down. I'm so frustrated with this. I have seen it over and over in hearings. These hearings are a travesty.
