Holder Says Cheney is Dead Wrong on Torture
By Casey Gane-McCalla May 13, 2009 5:40 pm
In a wide-ranging dialogue hosted by the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund at the National Press Club this afternoon, Gwen Ifill, the moderator and editor of PBS’s Washington Week, questioned Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. on a number of issues facing the Justice Department, including the Supreme Court, torture memos, and what he thinks of former Vice President Dick Cheney’s recent media blitz.
“I respect the man for his service to the country and the fact that he’s a patriot, but he’s dead wrong,” says Holder, referring to Cheney’s assertion that releasing previously classified torture memos put the country in danger.

OHH NOO!! I completely disagree with Holder!! Thats one thing i disagree with the president about…those doc**ents should have never been released…and releasing those doc**ents definitely makes the u.s vulnerable n places the citizens in grave danger…i believe some toture tatics can be left behind…but in severe cases sometimes u have to do whats nescessary to get what u need…i mean some ppl deserve that s**t..and im just thinking on lines that if a prticular person is a threat…yes i want something done about it..because they may not cause anyone in my family direct harm but could indirectly…for instance 911..whether that was set up by the government or if it truly happened the way that its being projected to us…hell somebody need to pay for it!which i believe there things about 911 that some ppl would never believe…wont say what i mean by that..cus i know the government is monitoring everything we all say!!
but simply put…in my opinion…in some instances tortures is needed whether we like the ideal or not…cus i dnt like the ideal…but im not gonna be oblivious to the matter either
If torture is ok, why did we prosicute those Marines????
