As usual, you're wrong...dumbfuck. WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee chairman has withdrawn a subpoena to compel a retired diplomat to answer questions in private about an independent investigation of last year's attack in Benghazi, Libya.Rep. Darrell Issa (EYE'-suh) says he acted after Thomas Pickering agreed to meet with the House Oversight and Committee Reform Committee behind closed doors. Pickering and former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike Mullen led the investigation into the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. diplomat mission. Four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador, were killed. Pickering had offered to testify before Issa's committee in public. But Issa said a private meeting was needed first so the committee could understand how the investigation was conducted. Issa had summoned Pickering to appear Thursday, but his appearance is now being rescheduled.http://bigstory.ap.org/article/benghazi-review-leader-oks-meeting-committeenotice that he still needed Pickering to agree which he could have chosen not to do the subpoena would have required him to testify before a congressional committee ....not in private and even then Pickering could have invoked his 5th amendment if he wanted to Pickering agreed to the private meeting to avoid the subpoena but he could have chosen that option and avoided a private meeting

"A new classified policy guidance signed by Mr. Obama will sharply curtail the instances when unmanned aircraft can be used to attack in places that are not overt war zones, countries like Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. The rules will impose the same standard for strikes on foreign enemies now used only for American citizens deemed to be terrorists.
Lethal force will be used only against targets who pose “a continuing, imminent threat to Americans” and cannot feasibly be captured, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said in a letter to Congress, suggesting that threats to a partner like Afghanistan or Yemen alone would not be enough to justify being targeted. "
Meh...I'm not big on these guys hanging out with terrorists and then claiming American citizen rights. GMAFB
totally agree Al-Awlaki could have voluntarily made himself available to talk with US authorities and could have avoided being killed and his son would still be alive today today. Bad choices on his part. He was a member of al-Qaeda and called for jihad agains the US He was involved with the Fort Hood shooter and the underwear bomber and was The Yemeni government began trying him in absentia in November 2010, for plotting to kill foreigners and being a member of al-Qaeda. A Yemeni judge ordered that he be captured "dead or alive. What are we supposed to do. Sit around and wait for this guy to have a successful terrorist attack (and he actually did given the Fort Hood shooting). This guy got exactly what was coming to him and how 333 or anyone can defend this guy is beyond me.

lol...holy shit you're dumb. No wonder you're too chickenshit to tell anybody what you do, lmfao.
Well, Issa feels it is needed. I doubt this is going anywhere as I don't think they can force them to do it privately (but I don't know for certain).
Tough shit for Issa (and OF COURSE Issa can't force them to do it privately moron) Tough shit for you too I don't know what you do nor do I give a shit Why would you give a rats ass what I do

Being the leftist tyrant and communist you are - im sure you have no issue w this at all so long as its the celebutard cult icon obama doing it
I have an issue with the fact that you love terrorists and are constantly apologizing and defending them too bad that an innocent kid was killed but then I never heard a peep out of you when the US was responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths of innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan so I'm having a hard time believing you suddenly give a shit

The comparison is what I'm offering. Do you dispute the comparison? Second time I ask you, but you avoid the question.
How does it "contradict reality of the christian fundies who commit acts of violence."? Was Jesus Christ a violent man? Did he teach violence? Were his disciples violent men? Did they teach violence? No.
The Amish are Christians, and they are stuck in the past much like many Muslim communities around the world. Are the Amish violent? No.
I have no idea if the comparison is valid or not can you post a link to the study As I've already said a couple of times in this thread and many many times before, I think that certain people in many different religions sometimes let their religious beliefs drive them to the point of committing violence. It seems that those people often believe they are more devout or that their deeper beliefs drive and justify their actions. These people might have already been nuts or been on the cusp or perhaps something in their learned beliefs have triggered it.

I can't remember who did "this so called study." I will have to watch the video again. Can you dispute the comparison above? How in the world would I know if these Christians would be surprised to find out that they are less devout than their non-violent brethren? Find one and ask him yourself, since there are so many of them, according to you.  you don't know who did the study but you're offering it up as some sort of conclusive proof that Christians become less violent as they become more devout. That claim seem to contradict reality of the christian fundies who commit acts of violence.

Republican Darrell Issa must be in on the scam since he let Lerner get away without forcing her to testify BTW - what's up with Dictator Obama even letting Issa hold these phony hearings We elected Obama to be our dictator so when is he going to start acting like one. How about throwing some of these Republican Senators in jail (or even worse). That's what a real dictator would do

It is quite clear that some religious texts encourage murder under certain circumstances. Whether that religious text also includes a passage or two about loving thy neighbor is only relevant in so far as it demonstrates a inconsistency, hypocrisy and contradiction. In my opinion, a propensity for violence is inherent in religion itself.
I don't disagree with that point of view Most people who choose to follow a certain religion find a way to navigate around the bullshit and obviously there are many who don't do that

So in your estimation it is the individual and his misinterpretation of his religion and not religion itself that is dangerous?
yes, I don't think religion is inherently dangerous some people let their religious beliefs drive them insane (or they were already insane before) For example, some christians believe it's perfectly acceptable to blow up abortion clinic, murder doctors. etc.. and in fact they HAVE to do it due to their religious beliefs. I think they are nuts and possibly were even nuts before they became Christians or just coincidental to being christian

The idea that religion is at the very least a contributing factor in violent behavior.
I definitely think religious fundamentalism leads to some people going nuts pick any religion and you can find examples of this when your religious belief leads you believe you need to commit acts of violence then your religion has driven you nuts (and for some people I suspect it's a very short drive)
