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? [...]

Tastes Like Chicken

May 12, 2009

The script writers for the teevee program "24" should be hired by our defense department as full time military planners. Eliminate the middle men. That way our great protector-leaders can skip over all the liberal whining horsesh*t over torture and get down to protecting us like real men should. Why bother with pansy-assed anti-torture appeasers [...]

The Dick Report

May 9, 2009

Updated below While Mr. Cheney held the office of the vice presidency, about the only time I can recall him being on the teevee was during the fraud-up leading to the U.S. act of aggression against the formerly sovereign nation of Iraq.

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 [...]

'Can't Make This Stuff Up' Tuesday

May 5, 2009

Our military's role in Afghanistan? Hunting people for Jesus. I thought we were spreading freedom. That's what Commander Guy said. __________ Hell no, we're not intolerant. GOP'ers pick Jeff Sessions (R-AL) to replace Arlen Specter as ranking Republican on Senate Judiciary Committee.

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.

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".

Enhance This

War on terror. Evil-doers. Axis of evil. Islamofascists. Mission accomplished. The Patriot Act. Weapons of mass destruction. Operation: Iraqi Freedom. Phrases, words, memes,……which have no comprehensible meaning by themselves, some are even oxymoronic,…..all repeatedly written and spoken to mislead, to make Americans think one thing is really something else entirely.

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 [...]
