VICE PRESIDENT VALACHI:

EU panel probing alleged prisons may call on Cheney, Rumsfeld (AP, 1/26/06)

An EU committee investigating alleged CIA secret prisons could call Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to testify, a senior member of the panel said.

British Liberal Democrat Sarah Ludford, a member of the EU parliament and vice president of the investigative committee, said "very senior people" would be asked to answer questions about the alleged prisons.

"I don't see why we should not invite Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney," Ludford said.


Between them they know where every body has been buried by the Europeans for the past thirty-five years. They can embarrass every country, party, and politician on the continent and would be 0only too happy to do so.

Wouldn't it make more sense to talk to someone who might actually oversee such a program?

Who will be the first Democrat to endorse such an "interrogation"? Kerry? Albright? Carl Levin?

Yeah and televise those hearings. I can see them now...

Rumsfeld: "Well, goodness gracious! When the President of France offers to let you move suspected terrorists through French airspace to..."

Ms. Ludford to technicians: "Go to commercial! Go to commercial!"


(Muhhahahahaha!)

Who'd be foolhardy enough to interrogate Rumsfeld?

"I thought all the frogs were dying from the drought or something." Uh-uh. They were dying from the cold snap caused by Bush's global warming.

I nominate Senator Byrd.
