The torture defense begins and ends with the credibility of Bush and Cheney

[noise]

The foundation of every torture defense rests with the idea that Bush and Cheney acted in good faith. This is the essence of authoritarianism. The public is supposed to go along with the ruination of the United States because the leaders said it was necessary. Now we are supposed to look forward because President Obama tells us desperate actions were taken by officials who wanted to protect the country from attack. The obvious question--why is the current President trying to convince us of something we know is complete bullshit? Bush and Cheney are not trustworthy.

1. Bush and Cheney are not trustworthy.

President Obama is not trustworthy.

His actions prove this.

Him and Jamie Dimon making phones calls yesterday was beyond nauseating.

Political criminals always seem to cover for one another.

Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon.

They are in a club that we will never understand or get into.

My mother replied that maybe her great great grandson, my great nephew may become president someday.

I replied I would never want him to associate with the corrupt garbage in DC.
