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 [...]

A week ago we learned about new evidence confirming that Richard Cheney directed the Bush administration's disclosure of Valerie Plame's covert CIA status…..
A document filed in federal court this week by the Justice Department offers new evidence that former vice president Richard B. Cheney helped steer the Bush administration's public response to the disclosure of [...]

The Rogue Bush White House

July 11, 2009

If you don't read Glenn Greenwald's blog at Salon.com regularly…..I highly recommend doing so. I have been reading Greenwald for a few years. He is a constitutional lawyer with a razor sharp writing style that's easy for laypeople, like me, to follow. Of all print media, Greenwald's blog ranks 9th in a list of the [...]

Distractions For The Gullible

May 30, 2009

How "reality" is created in 21st century America…
The aide said that guys like me (author, Ron Susskind) were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me [...]

President O-bush-a

May 23, 2009

First, let me state without reservation or qualification, that having Barack Obama as President is a far superior situation for America than if John McCain, with his full-throated, neo-conservative military and foreign policy ideology, were guiding the ship of state.
That said….not only has Obama followed Bush/Cheney footprints on state secrets, transparency, and, now, indefinite [...]

Bush/Cheney Worse Terrorists Than Bin Laden

May 13, 2009

Why Bush/Cheney chose to torture…..
The military agency that provided advice on harsh interrogation techniques for use against terrorism suspects referred to the application of extreme duress as "torture" in a July 2002 document sent to the Pentagon's chief lawyer and warned that it would produce "unreliable information."
What "unreliable information" did Bush/Cheney want produced?
"While we [...]

How Many Americans Must Die For Bush?

May 6, 2009

Philip Gourevitch of The New Yorker writes…
"When one of the prisoners resisted, (Corporal Charles) Graner later told Army investigators, “I bashed him against the wall.” Running hooded prisoners into walls was also standard practice at Abu Ghraib, but this prisoner fell to the floor, and blood ran out from under his hood, and a medic [...]

Obama On Torture & State Secrets

May 2, 2009

All the Very Serious People in the Village, as well as all the usual-suspect Rush-Fox-Dick-Newtie types, have proceeded to build mountains out of the tiny molehill Obama gave them to work with in his answer on Wednesday night about torture. Obama seemed to agree with the 'for-torture' crowd when he said this….
"not because there might [...]

Gangsters, Banksters, & Serious News People

May 1, 2009

Soon, the new revelations about the criminal gangsters of torture, aka the George W. Bush administration, will quietly, and with the whore-media leading the way, be swept under the rug. Of this, I have no doubt.
Our representative democracy will, as it did during the Ford administration, set yet another precendent in defense of lawlessness, [...]

Torturing Detainees Cost American Lives

April 29, 2009

Conservatives, arguing that Bush era torture crimes should not be investigated or prosecuted, have chosen to resort to a slogan in defending their position. Torture, "saved American lives". Therefore, the slogan implies, torture should not be prosecuted as a crime.
Not only is the slogan not factual, the truth is just the opposite of the slogan. [...]
