Thank you gentlemen.

Now please investigate why the investigation asked the White House to stop publicly commenting on the investigation when it doesn't take an investigation to figure out that they no longer benefit and are actually harmed by commenting on the investigation as opposed to before when they were commenting during the investigation on the investigation.

Go on then, investigate.

Go on.

Thanks.

Epilogue: Strategic Templates...

Even if this wasn't the thinking, it could've been, and could be used in the future to plan the same type of attack on the lies of power.

That's right: whether it happened this way or not, it could've, which means we have an ethically solid template to work from and use as a lesson-precedent for future decisions.

We can look at these actions as a success and learn from them objectively, or we can devolve into cynically hoping the Bush Boys get caught peeing on teens like R. Kelly to hold them accountable.

It's a pick'em really... I'm cool with either.

Because...

CNN video censored at Guantanamo prison

GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba, July 7 (UPI) -- Taking up U.S. President George Bush's challenge for reporters to visit the Guantanamo Bay military prison in Cuba, CNN did, but its video was censored.

In response to allegations of prisoner abuse at the U.S. Navy base in Cuba, Bush made the challenge in June, and again Wednesday while in Denmark.

However, a CNN crew that toured the facility was not allowed to see the worst-behaved inmates, who are kept in a block behind a mesh fence.

The prison holds about 520 prisoners from 44 countries, most of them captured during the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan.

CNN employees were not allowed to speak to the prisoners, and military censors demanded the crew erase video footage they said would allow viewers to identify a prisoner.

In the hospital wing, one prisoner shouted in English, "We take the torture in here," but it was not possible to talk to the prisoner about his allegation, the network said.
