Does Al Qaeda watch C-Span? Cheney aide thinks so
Conservatives are pouncing on Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Bill Delahunt, who traded sarcastic slurs this week with Cheney chief of staff David Addington over the administration's interrogation tactics.
Addington said he couldn't discuss certain interrogation techniques while television cameras were in the hearing room Thursday because "Al Qaeda may watch C-SPAN." Delahunt responded: "Right, well, I'm sure they are watching, and I'm glad they finally have a chance to see you Mr. Addington."
"Inappropriate," said Megan Mitchell, spokeswoman for Vice President Cheney. "Inciting Al Qaeda to violence," chimed in Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa),
suggesting that Delahunt should guard Addington’s family "until the war on terror is over."
"That’s absurd. That was not my intent," Delahunt told FOX News. "And I’m sure Mr. Addington knows that was not my intent."
-- Johanna Neuman
Does anybody try and make real observations anymore? Searching for image of David Addington on "google" delivered over 5000 HITS.
While Delahunt's comments might have been unseemly they do not compare with Addington's Boss "outing" an undercover CIA employee. What planet are these people from? I am a Barry Goldwater REPUBLICan and I will never vote for the party again until all of the NEO-CONS have moved on.

Typical Liberal or should I say typical Democrat slur. Delahunt is a typical purveyor of hate for his own country and those little people who live outside the Beltway. How in hell any right minded person could vote for a party such as the democrats is beyond me. The likes of Pelosi, Reid, Delahunt is repulsive, and Barack wants to be the ringleader of their circus!

"until the war on terror is over"??? I'd really like to know when that would ever be. Do Republicans actually pretend out loud that they will end this "war on terror"....ever?

Addington's afraid of al-Ciaduh?
The real terrorists are our leaders, and collaborative foreign leaders, that manufactured terrorists and the appropriate fear semantics to rape pillage and murder for a dime and a quarter, supported by intelligence agencies, both foreign and domestic, that under the guise of national security actually provide security for corporations, government officials, and associated thugs to steal, rape and pillage as they have for over forty years.

Hey Bill! Are you really this stupid?
I wonder what the conversation in the cave between Al Qaeda operatives sounded like? Hmmmm..
AL QAEDA #1: My friend, come quickly, check out C-SPAN!
AL QAEDA #2: The cable is working again?
AQ #1: Yes, Waziristan Time Warner came out this morning. Look, it's Addington!
AQ #2: Cheney's Cheney?
AQ #1: Yes, finally we know what he looks and sounds like! We must begin plans for the attack now. Death to America!
AQ #2: Wait... let's exercise caution. We haven't been egged on by a Democratic Senator yet.
(voice of Delahunt offscreen: "I’m sure they are watching, and I’m glad they finally have a chance to see you, Mr. Addington.")
AQ #1: Congressman Delahunt gave the signal!
AQ #2: Release the sleeper cell! Insh'allah!
You're an idiot.
A sad, pathetic bedwetter.
Plastic sheets and duct tape rule your life.
Sad commentary from the masculine, manly, badass rightwing.
LOL.

OUTING A CIA AGENT IN TIME OF WAR IS TREASON AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Call Nancy Pelosi @1-202-225-0100 and DEMAND IMPEACHMENT. DC business hours only, call often, and spread it around.

Rightwingers. They are such stupid filth. It's a miracle that anyone listens to them. It's a tragedy of epic proportions that Americans are coming home in boxes because of them.
If there was any justice these corn pone Mussolinis would be whipped bloody through the streets.
For starters...

Not only do they watch they are also reading the views of people who comment of News blogs like this one, The Washington Post, etc,etc,etc. Believe me when I say they are watching and reading, and taking names. In fact if you happen to have a website they visit it.
One day when they win, many people will be getting knocks on their doors, and they won't be able to ask for a writ of Habeas Corpus. They believe in swift and final punishment.
