we're definitely sexier and stronger.

Sexier maybe.

Stronger? World's strongest men are almost always nordic or Slavic.

Are we?

[jonesthecurl]

Well, I'm mixed race - English and Welsh. And I'm as sexy as hell.

[2dimes]

Come on Jones. I was on a roll here. You had to derail it. Good thing you're so sexy.

MMM-whah.

Mix of five nationalities/regional backgrounds? Check.
One being Norweigian? Check.
Welsh? Not to my knowledge.

Every time I say you're Welsh you flat deny it.

The protester who just got thrown out of Gina Haspel’s confirmation hearing used to brief Ronald Reagan every morning.

Former CIA operative turned activist Ray McGovern got up at the Wednesday hearing on Capitol Hill and demanded answers from Haspel, acting head of the CIA and President Trump's nominee to replace Mike Pompeo as CIA chief. While she promised not to create another torture program, she also wouldn’t condemn the previous one, including what happened at a CIA black site in the years after 9/11. When McGovern spoke up, at least five Capitol Police officers quickly detained him, warned him to stop resisting, and threw him out of the hearing in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Yes, America is very free and that is why the rest of the world should be more like America.

I've got an odd sympathy for Haspel- she clearly doesn't want to throw other CIA agents under the bus, especially those she was in charge of. I also understand why she would be unwilling to take the blame for the crusader torture that the government allowed.

That said, she's a war criminal, and she's been nominated by Trump specifically because he likes the idea of torture. She shouldn't be anywhere near a position of leadership.

"Crusader torture"? This "torture" which is carried out on US soldiers during their training and some guys even have done to themselves voluntarily as a demonstration?

They underwent that training so that they could resist torture. Also, torture isn't really voluntary.
