2. sheesh, what DO these people smoke? interrogation is, by its very nature,

coercive. duh!!!

[tekisui]

3. He lied a lot yesterday.

But torture most certainly is coercion. Waterboarding most certainly is torture. They take the victim to the death spiral and resuscitate to do it again.

That is coercive.

4. The interogation is coercive just by virtue of being "enhanced." n/t

I am so disgusted with congress right now I wish the whole lot of them would just resign and we could start over completely

6. Was Gen Hayden wearing his uniform again?

I saw him with it on recently. Didn't he have to retire from the Air Force in order to be CIA Chief?

[Wizard777]

7. Yes he was wearing it. No he didn't have to retire. n/t

[Disturbed]

8. Is Hayden getting paid as an AF General & CIA Chief?

Does he get two salaries?

[Wizard777]

9. Oh how to put this?

That's double dipping and that's a no no in Government. But this is the Bush administration and nothing is a no no for them.
