4. Outside of progressives the majority of people out there |

could care less about torture let alone who ordered it. Sorry but from what I been hearing lately torture should be used down at the local police station to get people to confess to crimes they are accused of. Heard one numb nut say after hearing yet again DNA set another man free from death row that before letting him out of prison the prison guards should torture him to make sure he was innocent.

in fact, my dad was a cop decades ago, back in the bad old racist days. he told me. Torture has been "normal" for well, ever. But it has never been "policy" until now. Now we are all guilty as a nation, not just guilty of allowing criminals to do it.

5. Isn't it curious how they subtly make the Iranians the bad guys |

again today what with all their intimidating buzzing around in rowboats yet absolutely no mention of human rights violations committed at the highest levels of the United States government?
I thought human rights violation stories were a favorite of the MSM. Oh, yeah, that's just when other maniacs do it.

6. have to agree with MrCheerful |
|
I think most people don't care. Or as Cheney would say "so"? People seem very removed from all that is happening regarding the war. Ignorance truly is bliss. or as mama bush said -- Don't bother their pretty little heads with torture......
now go watch american idol

just called my congress critter, and the staffer gave me the usual platitudes of why we cannot pursue this
I mean at this point BOOSH could kill a baby on national teevee and eat him, raw, and they'd do nothing
After all there are elections you know...
At this point both parties are the imperial party and the constitution is something you use to clean your behind with
