Yet another LTTE...
On April 9th, ABC News reported that Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Powell, and Ashcroft met numerous times in 2002 and 2003 in order to plan interrogation techniques to be used in dealing with terrorists. Shortly after this report, the President bragged about approving these measures. Some techniques were approved which clearly violate Federal law and International treaties and have been historically punished by sentences of years at hard labor.

Unless those responsible are fairly investigated and prosecuted the United States will continue to be held in contempt by the international community, and rightly so. These acts have seriously damaged our security and the price will be paid in blood by our children.

Clearly these acts among others demonstrate that our leadership have conspired to break the laws that they are sworn to faithfully execute. Where is the outrage? Where is the Grand Jury? Oh, that's right, it's all "off the table!"


We shall see if this stirs anyone.

3. Frederick Md. The fringe of the red zone in this state.
It's hard to whittle it down and focus, there are so many crimes.

Thanks for both!
