***Condoleezza Rice delivered the OK to waterboard***


WASHINGTON – As national security adviser to former President George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice verbally approved the CIA's request to subject alleged al-Qaida terrorist Abu Zubaydah to waterboarding in July 2002, the earliest known decision by a Bush administration official to OK use of the simulated drowning technique.

Rice's role was detailed in a narrative released Wednesday by the Senate Intelligence Committee. It provides the most detailed timeline yet for how the CIA's harsh interrogation program was conceived and approved at the highest levels in the Bush White House.

The new timeline shows that Rice played a greater role than she admitted last fall in written testimony to the Senate Armed Services Committee.

20. Maybe she's into S&M. Maybe with "Leather Heather" during the good ol' days when
her boyfriend george and everybody else with an "r" by their names was still riding high, and the proverbial jackboots were on OUR throats to keep us silent and grind the dissent out of us?

FUCK you, contradicta. You did the crime. MANY of us suspected it. Now the details are FINALLY coming out that confirm our suspicions and verify pretty much everything we said.

May you now do the time. May you be forced to trade in your Ferragamos for some prison scuffs.

6. Now how could a woman who looks as approachable and welcoming as
she does in that photo POSSIBLY endorse torture?

12. She delivered the approval while wearing a pair of
one thousand dollar shoes. I hope she goes to jail for life.
