Yo people in my mentions: US assistance for Saudi Arabia's genocide in Yemen started under the Nobel Prize winner. It has gotten worse, but it started under Obama.

I see your point and Obama bears some responsibility. But like saying War on Terror belongs to GWB because 9/11 occurred on his watch.

I think all these issues are incredibly complex and cannot be assigned to a single President. Read Company Man by John Rizzo re torture
-
Company Man, the book that completes its first lie at word number 64? That book? https://www.emptywheel.net/2014/04/17/a-guide-to-john-rizzos-lies-for-lazy-journalists/ …

You can take issue with specific dates/facts, that's fine.But he was in the middle of the torture pgm so I'm take his word over yours.Sorry
-
He. Is. Lying. Per public CIA documents. So by all means take his word over mine. But if you do, know that you are deliberately choosing to believe in outright lies. That's how genocides are allowed to continue.
-
Not a truthful word in his book? Come on. Be reasonable. I'm not arguing everything he said was factual. But he was in the middle of it
-
All the more reason for him to lie.
-
It doesn't matter what his sources are if his statements are verifiably false. Credentials mean nothing if the facts are wrong.
-
Depends who is saying he is wrong. These are spooks. They can alter docs.

Yes. The torture memos justifying now-prohibited practices were introduced under John Ashcroft, who then recanted and refused to renew the legal endorsement, even after Bush and Cheney sent people to visit him in his recovery room at the hospital. Talk about tone-deaf.
