New 9-11 News

November 27, 2009

The 9-11 tragedy has been in the news recently because of the announcement by the Obama administration that the U.S. would try a handful of 9-11 conspirators in New York City.

Tea Partiers: The Incarnation of Dick Cheney

September 15, 2009

Updated below Humans will lie about almost anything…..check that….Humans will lie about anything. I'm not sure whether the human habit of lying can be attributed to evolution or not. Perhaps we have been programmed over 15,000 years or so to deceive other humans for self-preservation purposes. Whatever the reason…..dishonesty, lying, deception….have always been human traits.

Pride In The President, Part 2

June 7, 2009

Today I continue with Part 2 of my appraisal of President Obama's speech from Cairo, Egypt…. To those Muslims in Hamas, Hizbollah, al-Qaeda, or Iran,…Obama spoke honestly and directly about Israel… Six million Jews were killed – more than the entire Jewish population of Israel today. Denying that fact is baseless, ignorant, and hateful. Threatening [...]

Pride In Our President, Part 1

June 6, 2009

The Obama speech from Cairo, Egypt… The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of co-existence and cooperation, but also conflict and religious wars. More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies [...]

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."

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 [...]

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 [...]

Why The Bush Administration Ordered Torture

April 27, 2009

We now know that the Bush/Cheney administration ordered the torturing of detainees being held in U.S. secret prisons, in direct and repeated violation of national and international law. That is no longer in dispute. We also know now that the Bush administration ordered torture to be done BEFORE any Justice Department "legal" memos defending those [...]

The Reckoning

April 23, 2009

Today's Akron Beacon Journal editorial has it wrong. That comes as no surprise to me. Those who write the editorials for the Beacon have been way behind the Bush curve for years. There would be no reason to expect a change now. The editorial calls the Bush-Cheney torture regime "a failure of imagination". Sorry…. it's [...]
