Reply #2: You won't ever hear me say Powell didn't know [View All]

or wasn't actively a part of the process.

His own words give him away.

First he says: "'There was no meeting on torture,' Powell told Maddow"

Then he says:

"The only meetings I recall were where we talked about what is it we can do with respect to trying to get information from individuals who were in our custody.''

Well, Duh! Powell is playing the word game here...we didn't talk torture...we just talked about what we could do to get information out of the detainees.

And what they talked about was which "enhanced interrogation technique" to use...and we all know that those "enhanced interrogation techniques" were torture, as well as cruel, degrading and humiliating treatment (all war crimes)

He knew. He took a role.

And some of us have always said so
