she flips flops again in the NH debate.
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."
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.

Alas, only place you will hear of (TRUE) bad Hillary stuff is places like here or National Review....she ducked EVERY tough question from Russert, and no newspaper will call her on it, but they WILL do hit pieces on Rudy's or Fred's wives
-
Without another Ross Perot I really doubt another Clinton has a shot. Either Rudy or Fred will murderize her, even in Florida.
-
well what do you expect.....she was pandering!
Geesh typical hilllary if you ask me.
-
It was a fun debate. I couldnt fall asleep and that pillowfight they called a debate put me right out ;)
-
Why don't you like Hillary? At least she can water her own cigars and you have one problem solved. :cool:
-
LOL
Can you really imagine Mr Bill as first lady in the white house?
Hillary, well yes we've all known who wears those pants for some time now.
Count me in on the "Anyone but Hillary for 08" bandwagon.

I just hope we don't have the choice of one slimey new yorker over another.
I really hope Fred gets the nomination... he could have the new yorker for a VP to appease the socialist wing of the republican party.
Fred is a movie star.. a somewhat conservative one... he could not lose in America.
hillary is a shrill, shrew commie... her looks are really starting to match her personality too... She can't help but think she is smarter than the rest of us and she can't even hide it well. she tends to look down on people...
