Lies, Freaks and Videotapes

October 29, 2009

Remember back in May of this year when the tender and delicate feelings of some Republicans were bruised when Speaker Nancy Pelosi said this….
Pelosi said that she was explicitly told in her September 2002 briefing that waterboarding was not used. We've since learned that Abu Zubaydah had been waterboarded 83 times by then.
She accused the [...]

Torture Defenders: Self-Deceived Or Gullible?

August 31, 2009

My blog buddy King last week….
What our media hasn't bothered to tell you is that the early interrogation and Enhanced Interrogation Techniques (EIT's) used against terrorist monsters like al-Nashiri, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, and Abu Zubaydah worked, just like former VP Dick Cheney said they did. Cheney was ridiculed endlessly for saying that, but the CIA [...]

Perception Of An Investigation

August 25, 2009

As the Obama administration continues to do everything it can to cover-up for Bush/Cheney-era crimes against the American people, we now learn that Eric Holder, Obama's Attorney General, has appointed Republican, John Durham, as a "special prosecutor" to investigate "alleged detainee mistreatment"….
Holder has named longtime prosecutor John H. Durham, who has parachuted into crisis situations [...]

Schrub, The Terrorist

August 21, 2009

Over the past number of years, whenever I suggested that George W. Bush was actually an American terrorist leader, I was quickly reprimanded by those Serious and Grown-up Conservatives who immediately sought to describe the former president as "protecting us from Islamofascists."
Now, former Bush Homeland Security head, Tom Ridge, in a new book, follows [...]

A Steaming Pile Of The Village

July 16, 2009

The Washington Post's David Ignatius is a personal case study in what's wrong down in the Village. Again the AB Journal gives Ignatius top billing on it's op-ed page….and again, Ignatius lays down the isolated and rotted Village mindset.
If the U.S. federal government, according to Ignatius, holds it's agencies, like the CIA, accountable for it's [...]

Tea Parties…..The Sequel

July 1, 2009

I had almost forgotten about those bizarro Tea Parties held around tax day in April……when I came across schedules for even more Tea Parties to be held this weekend. Yep, no joke.
Parties in northeast Ohio are scheduled for Cleveland, Canton and Ravenna.
Here's a message from the Canton Tea Party organizers……
Declare and Defend your [...]

"Moral Leadership"

June 23, 2009

America has been involved in imperialistic-minded interference in other nation's governments and elections for as long as I can remember. It's what we do. And I suppose that helps in understanding why America's leading neo-conservatives, senators like Lindsey "Huckleberry" Graham (R-SC), John McCain (R-AZ) and Joe Lieberman (ASSH*LE-CT) have been calling for U.S. interference in [...]

Why So Extreme?

June 20, 2009

The modern Republican Party's plight can be compared, I think, to the experience of American Protestantism in the last half of the 19th century. I'll explain in a minute.
Today, many moderates, Democrats, Independents, as well as liberals, have difficulty comprehending what looks like an obvious and ongoing denial of reality by the modern Republican Party. [...]

Justice Sacrificed For The Obama Agenda

June 18, 2009

I've been frustrated with President Obama's resistance to investigate and prosecute the numerous war crimes and disgraceful violations of national and international law by the Bush/Cheney administration. Obama's "looking forward" justification for this resistance, however, is akin to looking straight ahead after running over a person in the street. Wouldn't want to "look back"…..simply too [...]
