The destruction of key, critical, and crucial evidence in a terrorist investigation by the U.S. government is a :

FELONY VIOLATION of the USA Patriot Act.

Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism

That is what the Acronym 'Patriot Act' stands for.

DESTROYING Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism

is a FELONY VIOLATION of the USA Patriot Act

The media could DESTROY the Patriot Act by forcing bush and his administration to attack the Patriot Act in the courts to protect themselves.

The tool to bring those to justice who destroyed the CIA tapes is HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT, right in front of your noses.

I mean, what are they going to do if we all point at them and accuse them of UNAMERICAN crimes in FELONY VIOLATION of the USA Patriot Act.

Read the Patriot Act, prosecute with the Patriot Act for freedom's sake.

Biden: I don't trust the Justice Department to investigate itself over destroyed CIA interrogation tapes

"I don't have confidence in the President, I don't have confidence in the Vice President, and I don't have confidence in the Justice Department. That's as simple as I can put it."


Senator, Foreign Relations Committee chairman and 2008 presidential hopeful Joseph Biden (D-DE) says to CNN's Wolf Blitzer that special counsel is needed to oversee the investigation into the destruction of 2002 CIA interrogation tapes to avoid a conflict of interest.

The Bush Administration has said that, while they were ordered to safeguard evidence of torture and abuse of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, the recordings in question didn't fall under the rule, as the interrogations in question were performed at secret CIA prisons before the two suspects were transported to Guantanamo.

The very people that are accused of destroying the tapes should not be trusted to oversee themselves, says Biden. He rejects the argument that independent counsel would compromise whatever internal investigation the Bush Administration, especially an Attorney General who refuses to clarify his position on the widely criticized interrogation practice known as "waterboarding," is planning, as head of a heavily scandalized and politicized Justice Department.

The Senate Judiciary Committee has already been stonewalled by Attorney General Mukasey on the matter.

"This calls for a--totally independent forum, which the law calls for, to find out what happened here," says Biden, "because there are criminal charges that are likely to flow."

No one knows how high up the chain the investigation could go, says the Senator."

"these recordins are protected by nashinul secure-itee, and should not be availbull to judges or anyting like that. Or the internets."

first a senator who kept his word and did his job now a judge doing his merry christmas

i thought bush had bought all the judges he needed to protect himself.

Mister SH*THEAD at the podium!

pajeff got scrubbed!

Ye-hah!

With a bit of luck, he'll be banned for a few days.

What a tool.

This judge better watch his back, Voganstroll has a gun!

President Romney?

Go ahead, Republicans. Nominate Mittens. He's probably the worst of all your candidates, other than the fringe ones like Tancredo, Hunter or Paul.

The fundies don't trust him because he's in a cult, so there goes any enthusiasm from the Jeebus people.

As for the others, can you imagine how many ads there will be with Mitt debating Mitt?

Pro-choice Mitt vs. pro-life Mitt.

Pro-gay Mitt vs. anti-gay Mitt.

Mitt was for everything before he was against it.

BJ, I'm surprised you can't see it. It's like I've been saying for months -- McCain/Huckabee is your ticket, so get used to it.

Unless it's McCain/Jebya.

Papa Bush says no way to Bill's diplomatic mission for Hillary to help restore the USofA's image. He believes his boy chimpanzee has made America the envy of the world and a role model for every planet in the universe.

Love how the trolls are screaming about how Kennedy is an activist judge and the case will be thrown out. So:
>Destroying the tapes was not a clear violation of law AFTER this WH was ordered not to destroy them.
>An investigation as desired by the GOP senators after the recent NIE report was nixed by Cheney due to not wanting the conversation to turn to the 2002 NIE report on Iraq doesn't seem "unusual".
>Losing over 1 million emails in direct violation of the record keeping act and the Hatch Act is "liberal mumbo jumbo".
>Subpoena's to Rove, Miers, and Bolten not being honored is OK to the trolls. Wonder how they would feel if Clinton's staff did the same thing?
I.e. a systematic disregard for any court or congressional ordered "issues" is not the least bit suspicious and merely a liberal MSM ploy to draw negative attention to this WH and a distraction on the war on terror. Any questioning is unpatriotic. Finally, be thankful we have George Bush to protect us??
Anyway the country could be divided up? Liberals can have the west coast and the trolls the east? I'm NOT JOKING. It is time for a "divorce" from these clueless ASSHOLES!

Troll alert!!

Voganstroll says he knows what the judge will do in this case. In reality he is full of nothing but speculative postulations. What a clown!

Poor trolls. Their brains simply can't handle the thought that there may come a time they won't be in power again.

Trolls live in the present. To them, Bush has always been president and always will be, so it doesn't matter what he does.

The best way to judge whether something is right or not is to ask yourself how you would feel if the other party did it.

That's why I couldn't get too upset about Clinton getting head from a fat girl.

Of course, I didn't consider the possibility of Gannon.

How many Divisions does Judge Kennedy have?

Little Georgie doesn't kow-tow to some two-bit judge.

GOOD!!

The criminals who currently hold the WH need to be tried for their crimes. Their inept and FAILED leadership has dragged this country down. They would (and have) lied to their own mothers to get their criminally insane acts to move forward. Enough!
