Torture by any other name...

by: Jay Stevens

Okay. So it looks like torture was, in fact, mostly used to extract false data to justify the invasion of Iraq. So much for the righties' ticking time bomb theories or all of those Philosophy 101 conundrums about the ends justifying the means, etc & co.

And now, with the cover sheets of Donald Rumseld's reports on Iraq to the White House published, it looks as if somebody thought the Iraq War was a big game, a new religious war, Christians vs. the infidels. And as Kossak LithiumCola noted, the release of these pictures are as likely - if not more likely - to inflame Islamic opinion against our troops than any pictures of torture would, it's pretty obvious the concern about the torture is really just a way to protect the Bush cabal.

So. Can we talk about prosecuting our nation's torturers yet?

Prosecuting the planners of torture would be the second best way to provide some cover to our troops, (0.00 / 0)
other than bringing them home.


Only if Nancy Pelosi knew about it, (0.00 / 0)
and if she knew about it in time to do something about it. ;-)

If there was "something" for her to "know" about, doesn't it make sense to find out what that something is?

I love how the politics of D.C. is going to backfire into forcing the very thing they are all trying to avoid: investigations and prosecutions. When you have both Nancy Pelosi and Dick Cheney on the same side of wanting the CIA to validate their personal realities, you know that things are about to explode wide open.

Ready the klieg lights. It's going to get very entertaining as the cockroaches scurry for cover.


All crimes happened in the past (0.00 / 0)
The claim, coming from both Republicans and Democrats, that it's time to look forward and forget about the crimes committed by the Bush-Cheney gang because they happened in the past is ridiculous.

All crimes that are prosecuted occurred in the past.
