Gen. Barry McCaffrey on MSNBC said there should be Prosecutions for those who ordered Torture!

[KoKo]

Pat Buchanan said we needed to do it and it stopped a terrorist attack in LA. General McCaffrey said it was wrong, it hurt us internationally and while the Cia who did the torturing shouldn't be prosecuted those at CIA and up to Jutice Department elsewhere should be held accountable. Said "those who ordered this never had themselves hit on the head." He said it was against the Geneva Conventions and International law.

Surprised to hear that from him since he is one of the Generals criticized for being paid by cables who also gets provits from the Military Industrial Complex.



It was a very strong statement from him.

2. And then he left out Bush and Cheney

[KoKo]

3. No...he said those responsible but specifically mentioned CIA Top and Justice

and if you go after CIA Top and JUSTICE then you find WHO ordered it..the Top of the Top.. That's what I saw him say...

8. Reminds me of what Bush said to Gonzo...

"Keep the Faith". I think someone's going down, but it certainly isn't Cheney. Maybe Bush. Seem like he's been a patsy from the get-go.

4. He has been adamantly against it from the very beginning. Go, Barry! nt

5. I've always found McCaffrey to be candid.

And I agree with him.

[Captain Hilts]

11. I find him refreshing in a tactless sort of way. nt

[Pirate Smile]

6. I heard him. He agreed with not going after the agents but wanted a commission of some

sort to look into the matter and possibly go after the people who ordered the torture.

I think the next step is for Congress to set up some sort of Commission to look into the issue.

7. If there are investigations it should be into those who ordered them

and anyone who went outside what was endorsed - for any sadists out there.

[KoKo]

10. That's what McCaffery was saying. I was glad to see him speak out about it

really...

[Supersedeas]

12. Military Commissions Act completely removes the option of prosecutions
