the "enhanced interrogation program" has changed going forward in responst to Wolf's question:

Is it safe to say now that methods that were used early on are no longer in use? {paraphrased}

I was left with the thought: THERE IT IS! She just admitted that the techniques the used early on were ILLEGAL!

Did anyone get this on Tivo?

1. that woman irks me to no end, I cannot put my finger on why.
She never answers a question with a direct answer, but I am used to the entire cabal talking like that. But there is something more, almost like she gets wet vaginal spasms from lying in public.

2. Someone said in another thread that when she answers
a questions, she shakes her head around as she speaks, like Kindasleazy.

5. Very much like Kindasleazy ... circumlocutions, nostrums, vacuous banalities, and verbal diarrhea
No matter how direct the question, she dodges and weaves word-quilts. No matter how many times I've examined what she says, I find absolutely nothing of merit or anything to indicate insight or careful analysis. The Cheney/Bush regime is full of people with glib disregard for anything remotely associated with fact.

3. They invented some NEW torture methods
that haven't been specifically proscribed yet.. Maybe because most people don't know about them yet.

http://www.temple.edu/ispr/examples/ex02_06_23.html

An electronics company, American Technology Corp., has turned the wail of a baby into a weapon that fires "sonic bullets," narrow beams of noise that exceed the human threshold of pain. It can incapacitate people or compel them to flee.

"It gives you the equivalent of an intense migraine headache," said Elwood G. Norris, the company's chairman and inventor of the device. "It's just totally disabling."

Norris uses 50 different sound tracks, or sonic bullets, in his new weapon. For instance, it plays backward the sound of a baby crying at 140 decibels, or 20 decibels above the threshold of pain. The noise- level is similar to that of a passenger jet taking off. Pentagon officials see many uses for Norris' invention, such as controlling unruly crowds, foiling hijackers and keeping potential suicide bombers at bay. A commercial variant also may have applications in movie theaters, vending machines and retail stores.

4. No Tivo but think you got it almost verbatim.
I posted earlier in the week about her interview on the CBS morning show and how her lying and evasiveness could be used in spokesweasel training videos.
