It is ridiculous that they are defining what torture is, should they not be citing court decisions that pertain to war crimes and torture.  I think they’re just trying to sound tough as idiots.  The Army doesn’t subscribe to this idea of gain from torture, doesn’t subscribe to what he is having done either.  It’s a tangled web.

It’s like a different country doing all this.  Seams like everything they did clearly violated the law.

this piece is incorrectly captioned. the “justice dept.” is unaware of the word shame,much less it’s definition.

Just define torture as a looong slow death and then if the guy survives, then he or she was not tortured.

Simple!

And our Congress stands for it.

How do we gain back control of our government?

“It’s the zombie jamboree!” (Non Credo, #104643) sung about by, of all people, The Kingston Trio way back in the fifties.  Theamericanpeople, even then mostly caught-up in the self-cancelling Brownian movement that was already grotesquely over-inflating their self-image while the Living Ground of their very existence was being yanked out from under ‘em, still tend to think their infantile obsession with comfort and convenience actually signifies in the cold-blooded calculations of the “global” imperium.  Most haven’t a clue their hollowed-out “democracy” exists nowhere but in their own fevered imaginations.

Sincere and well-meaning commenters here cry-out they “....want (their) country back!” This was never their country.  It’s Indian Country....occupied militarily and “settled” illegally by mostly European Christian peasants doing the dirty-work for the ruthless plutoligarchy that still rules over them....and which is now prepared to dispense with their services and dispose of them, in wholesale lots, as being “redundant,” on the cooked books of the privateering criminal enterprise.

For a preview of their own immediate future americans should take a good hard look at Iraq.  Only in their case it’ll be tens of millions of “internal” refugees, more millions of disappeared “detainees,” more yet of uncounted victims of internecine conflict and false-flag state-sponsored “terrorist attacks.” As for flight over the borders and across the seas, more recent immigrants might still have people who’ll take them in, in their countries of origin.  Most more “permanent” americans, however, shouldn’t expect warm welcomes among peoples thoroughly soured by the things the subject/citizenry here have permitted to be wrapped in their flag.

Mollycoddled americans will surely be getting “back” what they’ve got coming to them.  It is not going to be OUR Country, though.

HokaHey!

The Justice Department under Bush is close to Omerta law.

What did you expect?

We now live in a society where a completely harmless young student can be tortured with a taser gun right in front of a “liberal” senator for asking a very good if long-winded political question. The Alberto Gonzaleses of this world could not do what they do without the John Kerrys who enable them.

We are a corpse of a democracy, dancing hideously on puppet strings.

Impeach them all.  Try them for crimes.  Try them for war crimes.

As a Republican, I am glad I never voted for any of our administration.

Are our Representatives as guilty as the administration?  Is that why they don’t impeach?  What gives here?

This is an outrage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
