It would be just terrible ...
... if voters got to make their own choices in primary elections.Dem Congressman Steve Israel Won't Challenge Gillibrand In Primary -- After Obama Phone Call
Wouldn't it?
Pissant politicians!
| "... the complaint is that [US President Barack Obama, theoretically a Democrat] has actively and affirmatively embraced those very policies as his own -- the very policies which Democrats and liberals almost unanimously claimed for years they found so offensive and dangerous -- and he has vigorously defended them and repeatedly applied them in numerous circumstances." |
| A Truly Shocking Guantanamo Story: Judge Confirms That an Innocent Man Was Tortured to Make False Confessions by Andy Worthington, HuffingtonPost.com |
| When Torture Kills: Ten Murders In US Prisons In Afghanistan |
| This is a crucial and oft-overlooked fact in the debate over whether we should investigate and prosecute Bush crimes. The very same pundits and establishment journalists who today are demanding that we forget all about it, not look back, not hold anyone accountable, are the very same people who -- like Broder -- played key roles in hiding, enabling and defending these crimes. ... [...] |
| To paraphrase: Per United States Attorney General Michael Mukasey, torturing Mukasey would be torture (to Mukasey) but not necessarily torture if Mukasey weren't Mukasey. Got that? |
| Pertinent details: waterboarding is torture except when it's not, torture is illegal except when the Justice Department says it's not, the administration doesn't torture except when they do, and if anyone has a problem with that, the Justice Department investigate, except that they won't. Got that? |
| ... "we start with the least harsh measures first" and stop the progression "if someone becomes cooperative." ... that is, Frances Fragos Townsend of Homeland Security is telling us that the US doesn't torture once those doing the torturing are satisfied with what the victim has said, what the victim has turned into, or that the victim is completely incapacitated or dead! |
