2. I've had it ...

This is all fine and well, but please, would someone tell me why there is NOTHING up on DU about the Torture Meetings and bush getting on national TV and saying, "Yeah, we torture and I approve of it - so fuck'n what? You whanna do something about it?"

Well, apparently not. Because the lack of attention to this mind-boggling bitch-slap to our laws and honor is deafen. Someone should be asking Obama what he thinks about impeaching NOW - not "after" he maybe gets elected. Yesterday Repukes blocked a bill that would have replaced thousands of E-voting machines with paper-trail ones, in time for election, because "it would cost too much" - $685 million. About 2 1/2 days in Iraq.

Every fiber in your being has to be singed right now. Controlled rage should be resonating from every communication you make, and we should be making many. This should make you more than just take pause - this should make you take ACTION!

Maybe it hasn't sunk in yet? Maybe we've been hit with so many broad-sides we've gone numb ... fine, "numb" I can understand - but this - this shouldn't make us DUMB too!

Get this through your heads - IT'S AGAINST THE LAW to even get together and TALK about making torture legal!!! It's like a group of people getting together and seriously talking about robbing a bank. Laws have been so relaxed now that all you need is "intent" to form a criminal conspiracy. Robbing a bank is against the law - therefore - planning to rob one is part of the act and there fore also against the law. Torture is against the law. And "torture" has been well defined for a long time, as it's been around for a long time, the definition of "torture" didn't start with a pimp of an AG and some whore attorney that thinks he knows more than the Founding Fathers. IT's AGAINST THE FUCKING LAW! You can't make torture legal anymore than you can make bank robbing legal. (although they've done a petty good job of that too) Article 4 of the United Nations Convention on Torture, which the United States has signed and ratified-and which the ACLU identifies as "the most important international human rights treaty that deals exclusively with torture" - makes it illegal for individual nations to rewrite their laws to permit torture. The article states: "Each State Party shall ensure that all acts of torture are offences under its criminal law. The same shall apply to an attempt to commit torture and to an act by any person which constitutes complicity or participation in torture."

Get off your asses folks, because if they can get away with this one they can get away with attcking Iran, and you won't have to worry about any rigged election.
