Addington and Yoo testify on Thursday

[noise]

10:00 A.M. in front of the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties.

Dan Froomkin wrote an excellent list of questions:

Q. When was the decision made that traditional interrogation methods weren't sufficient for the challenge of information-gathering? Who made that decision?

Q. What precipitated the decision?

Q. Was there any opposition?

Q. What happened to the opposition?

Q. What made you so sure you were right?

Q. Are we correct in assuming that the operating principle behind these decisions was that Sept. 11 changed everything? How would you say it changed everything?

Q. Do you consider this a permanent change?

Q. If not, what in your mind needs to happen before we return to normalcy?

Q. How much guidance did you personally give Yoo? How much of the memos attributed to Yoo, Jay Bybee, and Gonzales did you write yourself?

3. I hope they are fried.

These two are the ones, and later gonzo, who gave the "legal" cover for most of the war crimes and crimes against the Constitution that the traitors in the WH committed. They need to be the first ones locked up.

8. Nothing will come from this......

They will pull out the same old play book. The Democrats can't get their act together on anything, they give us hope then let it waste away.

The real question should be asked of the Dems: "What have you done with any of these hearings?"

Answer: "Very little"....I remember Gonzo, Rove, Meyers, etc.
