Hillary Clinton "Flip-Flopping"?

Last October, Clinton told the Daily News: "If we're going to bepreparing for the kind of improbable but possible eventuality, then it has to be done within the rule of law."

She said then the "ticking time bomb" scenario represents a narrow exception to her opposition to torture as morally wrong, ineffective and dangerous to American soldiers.

"In the event we were ever confronted with having to interrogate a detainee with knowledge of an imminent threat to millions of Americans, then the decision to depart from standard international practices must be made by the President, and the President must be held accountable," she said.

Last night...

HANOVER, N.H. - Sen. Hillary Clinton scored with a Democratic audience last night by contradicting her husband's belief that a terrorist could be tortured to foil an imminent plot - but what observers didn't know is she was contradicting herself, too.

"It cannot be American policy, period," Clinton (D-N.Y.) told debate moderator Tim Russert, who asked if there should be a presidential exemption to allow the torture of a terror chieftain if authorities knew a bomb was about to go off, but didn't know where it was.

When Russert revealed ex-President Bill Clinton advocated such a policy on a recent NBC "Meet the Press" appearance, Hillary Clinton won huge applause from the Dartmouth College audience with a deadpan comeback:

"Well, I'll talk to him later."

(Hmmm.... Looks like she'll have to give herself a strict talking to as well...)

No, I watched the debate. I thought you'd have to be brain-dead not to understand what she was saying. She was saying, I'd do it, but never say I was going to do it.

She would use torture. If you watch where she answers this question, especially after how others answered it with clear "NO's" she specifically did not do that. I thought it was one of her most disengenious moments
 
I have never seen it except in ads but 24 looks like this is weekly scenario so given the brain washing of Americans by TV, maybe Hillary was just recognizing reality or the lack thereof.

That in and of it self is a good reason to vote for her! LOL

You know I'd been against Hill from the stand point that it's just so plain obvious to anyone with an IQ of 3 or higher that the Republicans need to be booted out of office until they reform and marginalize the wing nuts now in control of their party. My opposition to Hilliary is that of the major Democratic candidates she is the one that would most polarize and motivate the wingnuts.

But having said that, if she were to win......why that would be the absolute best possible form of "Just Dessert" outside of Jesse Jackson geeting elected president!

Oh how they will scream and wail and nash there teeth! I love it! :-)
 
Mottley no offense but dems must shake off the pussy male syndrome.
Oh lets dont pick someone that will pissoff the big bag republicans.
Fuck the republicans we need to pick the best strongest dem to unwind there clusterfuck regime.
