Oops - Bushco hid torture from Brits?

[malaise]

The former head of MI5 has claimed US intelligence agencies "concealed" their mistreatment of terror suspects.

Baroness Eliza Manningham-Buller said she only discovered alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was waterboarded after retiring in 2007.

In a lecture at the House of Lords, she said the US had been "very keen to conceal from us what was happening".

Her comments follow controversy over UK agents' alleged collusion with US counterparts using torture techniques.

Last month it emerged that Binyam Mohamed, a British resident formerly held at Guantanamo Bay, had been subjected to "cruel, inhuman and degrading" treatment.
In a lecture at an event organised by the Mile End Group, she said she had wondered, in 2002 and 2003, how the US had been able to supply the UK with intelligence from Mohamed and was told that he was "very proud of his achievements when questioned about it".

"It wasn't actually until after I retired that I read that, in fact, he had been waterboarded 160 times," she said.

4. I thought the Brits would turn this rock over, Obama wont

This needs to be investigated. What could be the motivation for not investigating Busho, torture, lying congress into war, etc... why is Obama shielding these freaks?

6. This is the worst part. If Obama Prosecuted Bush &Cheney.

The republicans would be too busy defending Bush & Cheney to fight health care and any other legislation Obama wanted to pass.

7. That's been my contention all year too

The Rethugs spewed their agenda and crimes so fast it was like taking a sip from a firehose just keeping track of it all.

Team Obama and Clinton-Republican Dems intentionally took issues off the table and sat on their hands. They will lose anyway by causing all of us to lose even though we got them a majority.
