From SeattleTimes.com:
(Brussels, Belgium) Investigations into reports that U.S. agents shipped prisoners through European airports to secret detention centers have produced no evidence of illegal CIA activities, the European Union's anti-terror coordinator said Thursday.The left will likely experience chafing. Of course, the seriousness of the charges always trumps their veracity.The investigations also have not turned up any proof of secret renditions of terror suspects on EU territory, Gijs de Vries told a European Parliament committee investigating the allegations.
The European Parliament's inquiry and a similar one by the continent's leading human-rights watchdog are looking into whether U.S. intelligence agents interrogated al-Qaida suspects at secret prisons in Eastern Europe and transported some on secret flights through Europe.

If she loses her job she could easily find new work as a paranormal investigator - it doesn't matter who the testimony comes from or the possible motives behind it, simply because there's alot of it means the events really happened.

The US has been in Iraq for several years. Where are the weapons? If the proof is so solid, Where the hell are they?
You really think the CIA hasn't devised ways to torture its prisoners? Tweak the law? Wake up, the war is about money, not bombs. Prisoners are tortured. . . .look at what our friend Unashamed Patriot has to say.

There were terrorist attacks happening long before 9-11. Terrorists require weapons, food, clothing, training, lodging and transportation. These services are provided by people who make money. In Iraq and Afghanistan we've seen hostages being released after large ransoms were paid. Therefore I see no reason why Garner can't go over to the jihadi websites and complain about war profiteering.

Our Texan president is a doink. He manages the war like the businesses he squandered.
The republican View= Get behind the President because he must be right and someone else is wrong.
The Democrats= Question authority because those in authority likely got there simply by knowing someone.
If you don't ask questions, you end up with a Vietnam on your hands.
War profiteering? Is it any coincidence that Bush, an oil man, sits on the greatest oil concerns ever? He doesn't care about the environment, so why no oil wells in Alaska to loosen the burden on us?
His buddies over in the Saudi Arabia must love America right now. Bush the oil man preserved their interests. Bush the president "seeks" stability in rival oil market Iraq.
Gee, what a pal. Last I heard, Osama was in Pakistan or Afghanistan, and Bush himself said the evidence for weapons in Iraq was weak.
Why aren't you asking questions?

You can't be serious....... Your mind must be blind. I don't think there is anything as bad as a fool who is willfully foolish. But you have lots of company.
I just pray America can survive this attack from within of the wilfull fools. You can't all hate America this much can you?

All terrorists should die.
I favor lower gas prices.
I happen to appeciate a president who is capable of forming a complete, rational thought.
Oh by the way, I was in Iraq working for the State Department.
What have you done for the war effort?

Seems like the crazy liberal is only one who had the balls to put his ass on the line for his country.
C'mon righties. I know someone in here can back up this crap with some action. . .

Were you smart enough to buy those stocks? Or were you too busy watching CNN?

The State Department is populated by Libs, and you got SENT to Iraq, that's all. That's nothing to go around boasting about. I'm going to Iraq for KBR in August-- by choice.
And most troops serving in Iraq ARE righties, so there's plenty of us backing our shit up. Not that any of this is relevant. This isn't Starship Troopers where only the military gets a say so.

I went to Iraq the first time around, but to actually do something, not ride around in SUV's, and if we'd been allowed to finish the job the first time, we wouldn't be there now, but then as now, all the leftards were crying and screaming to get out as soon as possible. I'd go back in a hearbeat if the Army would take me, but I got too banged up serving my country, so now I must content myself with irritating nutcases like you, and dream of the day your precious revolution finally gets started.

Every redblooded American knows that the US State Dept is full of lying liberal cowards like Joseph Wilson. You guys don't give a rat's ass about America and our countrie's secure future. All you care about is stopping W anyway you can, even if it means bad things happen to America.
I wouldn't brag about your service if I were you. It defines you precisely.

You say: "how about bringing something useful to the table". Since the start of the Iraq war, conservatives have been bringing useful stuff to the table, like:
-regardless of the wisdom of starting the war in Iraq, pulling out the military now would be catastrophic.
-putting pressure on neighbouring countries to stop the flow of foreign fighters into Iraq.
-support the new Iraqi government and gain the trust of the Iraqi people by helping to rebuild the country and improve social and economic conditions.
-put pressure on Iran to halt its nuclear program
To date, here's what the liberals have suggested:
- Bring the troops home now
- Give special care to battlefield detainees
- Let the UN decided US foreign policy
- Let Iran have their nuclear program because they ain't so bad.
So how about YOU GUYS bringing something useful to the table for once.

Another thing--if you hate the State department, explain why INR's analysis of WMD and of Iraq reconstruction was so much more accurate than any other member of the intel community. If you read the prewar NIE (unclassified), it is the INR's caveats and questions and claims that come out looking MOST accurate. guess those chardonnay sipping liberals are simply smarter than the beer chuggers at DIA, NSA, NGA, CIA, etc etc.
Facts really are troublesome things...

Except that every single person serving in the military is a volunteer, and most have joined since 9/11. Yes, facts are indeed troubling, but only if one is a leftard.

He could have been attached to the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, with the State Department and that is a very dangerous job in it's own right.
They're unsung hero's for sure.
