The Senate version has Senator John McCain’s amendment prohibiting torture of detainees by the U.S. government.   

Incredibly, the current President of the United States of America has threatened his very first veto because of that amendment.     

Vice President Cheney and CIA Director Porter Goss urged Sen. John McCain to support an exemption because “the president needs maximum flexibility” to torture people in secret dark places.     

The issue will in all likelihood be decided in private by four key members of the committee:  

  
Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska)

 These are all too familiar names, and we know where they stand on the terribly Anti-American support of torture. 

But where does Klondike Sarah Palin, the VP nomination from nowhere, stand on the issue? 

Wanna place a bet!?!

What do you suppose Darth Cheney does in his spare time in that undisclosed secret location?    

What does Klondike Sarah Palin, the VP nomination from nowhere, think?  Where does she stand on the issue of torture, and Cheney in some black undisclosed location???

Of course he does.  It’s time for DICK to come forth from his secure undisclosed location to face the music.

 […] 

… a bipartisan report by the Senate Armed Services Committee has made what amounts to a strong case for bringing criminal charges against former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld; his legal counsel, William J. Haynes; and potentially other top officials, including the former White House counsel Alberto Gonzales and David Addington, Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff.

The Torture Report

The Noose Tightens!

Do you think it is any coincidence that the Republicans have said they are going to make Eric Holder's confirmation to the AG spot difficult?  Hummmmmmmm.........

I think someone is afraid.  Very afraid. One might even say "tortured" over the thought of this new administration.

They need to be afraid – very afraid indie616.  This movement is all of a sudden gaining some momentum.  I think it will be the subject of a committee investigation for a couple of years so as to not give the Cretins ammunition to derail our reunification under Obama.  But then I think the awful truth will be spread out on the table in the light of day for all of us to see, and it will be on to the Hague and war crimes trials unless we clean our own s***house domestically.

The Noose Tightens!

Impeachment Hell!  Too late for that.  Duck walk these war criminals in the name of what makes America America – our Constitution and the human rights that flow from that sacred document.

For you Bear!

Letter to Senator McCain:

[…]

It bothers me greatly that many Americans think a little torture is OK for the “greater good”.  Some argue academically about torture’s definition.  I’ll wager they would broaden those definitions considerably should torture become reality for them.
 
Your heroic resistance to the obscenity of torture in North Vietnam’s POW camps, an ordeal most of us cannot begin to imagine or probably endure, unequivocally earns you the moral high-ground in defense of our American Values. 
 
We need you again, this time against domestic enemies.

McCain, along with the CIA and most professional interrogators, insist that it is NOT EFFECTIVE.  I don’t know who is right on that score, but it doesn’t make any difference.  If we are willing to give up that for which America stands for whenever it is expedient, or convenient, to do so the military that represents America is no better than the Hun, Mongols, vandals, Roman Legions, conquistadores, or most any other military outfit down through the history of mankind. 

Our military makes mistakes.  That’s to be expected with the best of intentions as it defends our Constitutional Republic.  But those mistakes must not become policy.  That is just one piece in the unforgivable mosaic that is the Bu$hite legacy!!! 

Strength with Honor my friend.
