The title is deceptive in order to bait Truthers into watching this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqSZDW1osJQ I've searched through other youtube videos and only found one debunking the stupidity of the 2.3 trillion "missing money." They didn't go over the speech in detail like I did though...

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article7092435.ece I can see where this might be more appropriate for the Politics forum, but if detaining "terrorists," known to be innocent, to establish a link between 9/11 and Iraq isn't a conspiracy theory, I don't know what is...

From Huffington Post: I keep going back to the way torture is defined (in the CAT and in U.S. law), which includes that it be done by government officials. The obvious intent of the law is to prohibit governments from committing torture. (Non government torture, is a matter for state...

I recall reading a conspiracy theory about why the Pentagon was hit on 9/11. On September 10, 2001, Rumsfeld announced in a press conference that several billion dollars in Pentagon transactions could not be accounted for (or something of that sort, feel free to correct me on what he was talking...

According to Richard Clarke, Bush and Rumsfeld conspired to ignore terrorism and focus on PNAC agenda (attack Iraq): http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/03/19/60minutes/main607356.shtml

Rumsfeld was making a speech and the Center for Constitutional Rights, among other groups, took the opportunity to indict him for "ordering and authorizing torture." He has scurried back to the US, but since he was in France at the time, the case can be prosecuted. Oh, my.

Little hard to believe that there isn't a thread going on this, but in the off chance that the reason I couldn't find it was because there wasn't one, I started this thread. OK, for anybody that hasn't read it yet here's a link to it...

CNN just announced that Rumsfeld is stepping down. More to come, no doubt.

Tells 60 Minutes Mrs. Bush, And Ex-Chief Of Staff Called For Resignation I don't see what the big deal is. Millions of men don't listen to their wife, what difference does one more make?

I was reading the paper this morning, and what did I see? Seems that Donald Rumsfeld is at it again! What do I mean? This: http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2006608300381 He compares Iraq war critics, to Nazi sympathizers!! Excuse me, but WHAT THE (edited, as Rule 8 restrictions...

A former Navy seal, (who also happens to be an Iranian-American filmmaker) was detained in an Iranian prison for two months because potential bomb parts were found in a taxi in which he was riding. The only reason he was released is because his family sued the federal government. Now it looks...

Oops. According to the New York Times, September he did say it, on September 27th, 2002. A month later, he admitted saying it. Oops.

Probably many of you have seen this article in today's New York Times "Top Retired General Rebuts Critics of Rumsfeld" by Christine Hauser. (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/16/washington/16cndmilitary.html?hp&ex=1145246400&en=46571ab513b7bb32&ei=5094&partner=homepage) I was more curious about...

Oral arguments via tape delay has just started on CourtTV now for those interested in listening in. I'll post more later.

I was wondering what folks have to say about this. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11371281/site/newsweek/ Frankly my opinion of the Bush administration has gotten so low, that I really thought that it had bottomed out and might actually go up a little. Maybe confirmation biases were leading me...

Didn't we conclude in some threads here that Hitler was not elected but appointed? Not to mention that the opposition was being assassinated as he rose to power. So, what is Rumsfeld trying to say here? This line is used very offen when talking about unsavory, elected foreign officials.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051208/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/us_iraq In the above story, Rumsfeld says that troop reduction can likely begin in 2006 (just in time, of course, for the Congressional elections). Will this be because the situation in Iraq will have stabilized or because the...

Tonight the cable news channels were covering Rumsfeld's unwillingness to go to Germany for some purpose, e.g. attending a conference, reviewing the troops, visitng the wounded, etc. at U.S. bases and hospitals there. The reason some gave is that he is afraid he would be arrested for war...

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20041216/ap_on_go_co/lott_rumsfeld Trent Lott wants Rumsfeld gone. John McCain thinks Rumsfeld sucks, while not specifically saying he wants him gone. Rumsfeld gave weaselly answers to the questions at the press conference. What the f*ck...

From AP on Rumsfeld's visist to troops in Kuwait: _______________ "Rumsfeld said the Army was sparing no expense or effort to acquire as many Humvees and other vehicles with extra armor as it can. What's more, he said, armor is not the savior some think it is. "You can have all the armor in...
