I propose a prisoner exchange. Dick Cheney for Private First Class Bowe Bergdahl.

[rhett o rick]

Dick isn't afraid of a little water-boarding.

[Lasher]

1. Eminently fair.

I can salute that.

[Piewhacket]

2. (LOL) Proud to be the first rec. REC REC REC!!!!!

:kick: :kick: :kick: :kick: :kick:

[proud2BlibKansan]

3. I can support that as well

[Jack Rabbit]

4. It works for me

K/R

[City Lights]

5. Great idea!

:patriot:

[Turbineguy]

6. Cheney

and Bush and.....

[Deep13]

7. You might need to add Rummy and Wolfowitz to make it an even swap. nt

[icnorth]

9. And throw in Lt. Col. Ralph Peters

of Faux News fame as a bonus.

[cascadiance]

12. And maybe throw in John Yoo and Jay Bybee?

[rhett o rick]

13. I second that. nm

[AuntPatsy]

8. I second your proposal, wonder if he has the guts to stand behind his own words

[rhett o rick]

21. People like Cheney have no guts. They are cowards to the core. nm

[bobbolink]

23. Third it... it was my idea, too, and glad to see you got there first!

:hi:

[kenny blankenship]

10. Sweeten the deal with Rumsfeld

if they show the slightest hesitation offer them Bush.

[KansDem]

16. I agree: Give them both Rumsfeld and Bush...

Both shackled and wearing orange jumpsuits...

[rhett o rick]

20. I want bush's* punishment to be a life sentence working the counter at a McDonalds for min wage. nm

[KansDem]

24. Do you want him working at the McDonald's in Long Beach, California?

Grease spill closes part of Long Beach Blvd.

...or the one in Milan, Illinois?



Customer claims she heard McDonalds worker reveal Hepatitis A diagnosis

:shrug:

[rhett o rick]

26. No, keep him in Texas. nm

[cascadiance]

11. Maybe we can get some good testimony to put away the rest of the Bushco jerks!

The captors could do a little torture of their own to solicit this testimony. One of two things would happen then...

Either:

a) Cheney "proves himself right" by showing that they were able to get the truth out of him through torture, and basically get the goods on everyone so that we can proceed with prosecutions. That or Cheney will claim that what he said was solicited out of him and wasn't the truth, and he'd prove that torture can be used to provide "false but desired" information (like what they did to justify going to war).

or

b) Cheney can prove himself wrong by standing up to torture and show that they can't get the truth out of him through torture and that the administration didn't commit criminal acts. It would then show that this program was useless and just a criminal breach of the Geneva Conventions since it didn't work in getting the truth out of him. Of course Cheney would subsequently say that he was telling the truth and that Bushco didn't commit any crimes. Well if he will say that they didn't torture anyone, then that would reverse the recent statements saying that they did...

There's so many ways this could be used to fuel getting the previous administration prosecuted! Sounds worth it to me!!! :evilgrin:

[rhett o rick]

15. Great post. However, what good is the "truth" from a sociopath? nm

[brentspeak]

14. .

:thumbsup:

[Lugnut]

17. That works for me!

Sonner rather than later, preferably.

[felinetta]

18. I like it. At least now that he's not VP he can get out and see a little more of the world.

[dgibby]

19. Genius, you're a genius, I tells ya!

How fast can we round up the whole BFEE?

[dembotoz]

22. and a fox personality to be named latter

[old mark]

25. If I were the Taliban, I'd never go for it. Nobod would want to get

Cheney back...we'd be stuck with the fat old bastard forever.



mark

[rhett o rick]

27. You're right. They'd probably relate to him, maybe promote him. Yikes.

Brings up the question, would Dick Cheney do more damage to the US as leader of the Taliban? Naw!

[Soylent Brice]

28. 1,000 recs.

[Uzybone]

29. I'll throw in a box of baseball cards to sweeten the deal for the Taliban

[yellerpup]

30. Why not? Cheney could probably wipe out the Taliban

just by sarcasm and cynicism alone. Waterboard The Penquin! He won't quack!

[Catshrink]

31. Great idea! 5 Deferment Dick doesn't have many priorities in retirement

except to save his sorry ass. I say he's deferred long enough -- into a uniform, Soldier! Off to Afghanistan with you.

[rateyes]

32. My bet is that the Taliban could get more than Cheney.

I'd throw in the entire membership of the Republican Party, plus the Blue Dog Coalition.
