"We followed our own protocol." Those are the words you can hear FBI Director Robert Mueller repeat again and again as Congressman Robert Wexler grows more incredulous.

The FBI knew that the CIA and the Defense Department (under authority from the highest levels of the Bush administration) were using torture on prisoners detained by the U.S. And yet, for some reason, Mueller didn't call for an investigation of these highly illegal practices. Crooks and Liars has the full transcript of Mueller's testimony.

Crucify all these criminals, Rep. Wexler! Just make sure that Bush and Cheney are water-boarded before they begin their prison terms.

Anthrax attacks, remember that? Where's the FBI Report? Gonzales said they had to keep quite about it back in 2005 because it was at "a critical junction". Now, it is 2008.

[Report this comment] Posted by: Turiye on Apr 27, 2008 2:32 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] ....is the Congressman that is the only man in the House that introduced Impeachment proceedings against the Murderer in Chief and the Evil-Doer, not Wexler. He knew what he did on the Floor that day was against protocol but said his(OUR)Peace any way knowing he would have to withdraw his remarks. Hoping someone would pick up the pieces and go after the Sociopath in Chief. Thay 'Disappeared' him, as did many other so-called supporters. I live in Philly still donate to his campaign and offer to volunteer because he was the only one that stood up for this country, WE the PEOPLE and the Constitution of the United States along with THE BILL OF RIGHTS = 10. Helen Thomas was the only Reporter to question Dana Bobble-head Liar Perino re;admittance of Torture, not a soul asked a thing. Helen threw up her hands in disgust, looked about the pressroom and said, "What is WRONG with YOU people? Why is NO ONE ASKING ANY QUESTIONS???", shook her head in disgust and keeps that front row seat. Ms. Helen Thomas and Dennis Kucinich, two that know what a Code of Ethics means. Thank You both.
