WASHINGTON (AP) – Republicans easily defeated three resolutions seeking information about the Bush administration’s policies on torture after a heated committee hearing.
Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., chairman of the House International Relations Committee, said Democrats who submitted the resolutions should “at least silently confess to themselves that their actions pose real dangers to our country.”</i>
Excuse me? The people asking questions about illegal practices and deception on the part of our government are the ones that “pose real dangers to our country”?
Alice, you’ve returned to Wonderland.
