Rep. Dana Rohrbacher, Torture Apologist Extraordinaire
Watching Maher Arar’s Congressional testimony last week — via satellite from Canada, because the Bush administration still refuses to allow him entry to this country despite being acquitted of all terror charges — made me sick to my stomach. Putting aside what the administration has done to this wholly innocent man — which is deplorable and cringe-inducing enough in and of itself — for Rep. Dana Rohrbacher the ends justify the means. He has the audacity to defend the rendition and dismiss the subsequent torture of a family man who was guilty of nothing but having a similar name with a suspected terrorist and being in the wrong place at the wrong time as a “mistake.” Absolutely shameful.

I couldn't listen to the whole thing, my monitor was beginning to melt from the heat given off by my boiling blood. I love the way it goes back to the children - we have to do this so our children are safe. I wonder who's saved more kids: The US Government, through this rendition program, or Chris Hansen, with his To Catch A Predator series. What are you doing here?
"Yes, we should be ashamed" of what happened in the case, Mr. Rohrabacher said.
Should be -- but apparently, we're not.
"That is no excuse to end a program which has protected the lives of hundreds of thousands if not millions of American lives."
So remember: torture good. Mistakes bad, but not really that bad, considering: torture good.
"That is no excuse to end a program which has protected the lives of hundreds of thousands if not millions of American lives."
I must have blacked out before this program existed becaue I don't remember thousands if not millions of people being killed.
Well, Corms, since the program has been put into place, we've had no attacks on our soil. And according to Rudy, we've prevented 23 attacks. 23*3,000= at least 69,000 lives saved.
How many attacks were prevented before the program went in place? Off those alleged 23 attacks this program has prevented I'm pretty sure that 23 of those would have been prevented without that program.
There are literally dozens of attacks not going on right now. Maybe more.
