It's Kidnapping and Torture, Not Rendition and Interrogation
by Bill Hare | Oct 29 2007


snip//

Remember, loyal citizens, to learn the correct labeling and above all do not question your masters since they are conducting wars and engaging in rendition and interrogation to make all of you safer.

Always remember these operative code words: Perpetual War is a necessary means to achieve Perpetual Peace.

Some of us, no matter how hard you try, Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney, think that all of this nifty little phraseology is nothing more than subterfuge, cruel and tragic subterfuge.

What does all of this really mean?

It means that a government calling itself the beacon of democracy and the standard to be held up high for the entire world to follow resorts to preventive rather than pre-emptive war, ah, another labeling conflict, along with kidnap and torture, all in the name of preserving American democracy.

Shame on you, Congress, for not performing your constitutional responsibility.

Shame on you, Congress, for not convening immediate hearings on the impeachment and removal from office of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, who tirelessly and ruthlessly subvert the U.S. Constitution and defile international law.

Mr. Reid and Ms. Pelosi, your refusal to act as leaders of the respective bodies of Congress in the face of democracy’s destruction will ensure roles for you in historical infamy!

6. America doesn't torture or kidnap. Say it and mean it
if you want to be our leaders.

Otherwise, you're not in the right job, right now.

7. Exactly
just like mercenaries are mercenaries not 'contractors'. This world is so 1984, with all the doublespeak, meant to mislead the public into complacency.

8. Actually, It Was Bill Clinton That Started "Rendition And Interrogation"
Let's give credit where credit's due - triangulation isn't the only gift that the Clintons gave to America. Bill Clinton pioneered the practice of kidnapping people from one country and sending them elsewhere to be tortured.
