A footnote?

Cough, Judith Miller, cough, cough.

I mean, she couldn't say that if it weren't true, could she?

Mr. Kiriakou . . . now works for the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
Your tax dollars at work.

9/11... it was guys off in a cave somewhere, and now we can't find them. This guy here told us everything. Yeah, in 83 seconds. I mean, 83 times.
We kept checking, just to be sure.
You believe us, right?
Hijacked jets were able to roam around American airspace for so long after the first attack because, uh, drills... we were doing drills, and it was confusing. Yeah. And then one hit the Pentagon.
You believe us, right? We're telling you honestly, now.
Everything. Really. That's what happened.
Drills can be confusing and, yeah, suddenly a missing airliner that's been off course and cruising around the nation for nearly an hour can hit the most protected building in the world.
You believe us, right?
Normally, we'd have fighter planes and military satellites and yadda-yadda-yadda... but it was just a really bad day for this, because, well, you know, drills are confusing.
But you don't be confused, please. I'm telling you on television. I've got my make-up on and everything. This guy asking me to tell you, he's a journalist. He's not going to let me tell you something that's not true.
You believe us, right?
Why would we lie? Why would we ever, ever knowingly, purposefully, go on television and look you, the American people in the eye, and lie to you?

Besides, I think "annoyance" is usually a word reserved for going to the DMV or being at a party with Julia Allison, not undergoing an interrogation technique that makes you feel like you are being drowned.

total waste of everything aside from the lies and national disgrace and loss of honor and what it means for us troops when they get captured and someone wants to torture them
