Didn't you get the news??

108. I like this remark by Turley

That’s part of the whole beltway mystique--is that they protect their own and parties mean very, very little. They’re all denizens in the same city and it’s about power. And principle has very little role in the city and I hate to say that and it may seem cynical but these are not principled people in this city and many of them are really bad people. Not all of them, but many of them are bad people. They don’t really believe in principle. They believe in power and once they get power I don’t think they’re going to be pursuing principle.

[hootinholler]

115. Only a waste of bandwidth if

you click on it and disagree with possibly discussing it.

133. Rule of law is still important, isn't it? nt

[Octafish]

153. pocoloco is using sarcasm as a rhetorical device...

...Very well, in fact.

[gratuitous]

2. Since the news broke that crimes may have been committed

I've been in favor of an investigation, development of evidence, and if warranted trials of the likely perpetrators. I've been told, however, that such wallowing in the past is unseemly for a robust democracy such as ours, and that punishment of wrongdoers is not justice. Shooting unarmed men and summary execution is justice, though, according to no less a personage than our Secretary of State.

It's confusing and I'm still trying to figure it out, but I am confident that I am being told the absolute truth. There could be no motive whatsoever for the people who appear to be committing crimes against humanity to lie or shade the truth. They told me that, too.

37. It's so nice to see that you've got your mind right.

To question our Glorious Leader would be unpatriotic.

4. No. We bring on our own crisises (as these things would like us to be.) and fail to

prosecut bush, chenney, et al, still, the fingure would only back at us! Why isn't this finger pointing at them?

9. again I sign in favor

thanks for caring, Bob

[bvar22]

10. Here. NOT pursuing a credible investigation and prosecution...

is ALSO a War Crime, according to several international treaties.
"Looking Forward" is NOT an option in any of those treaties.

[LooseWilly]

46. sounds like a plan

[JDPriestly]

47. I support real investigations and prosecutions. Yes.

George Washington must be turning over in his grave. He set up the tradition that we treat our prisoners well. And remember, George Washington was leading an "army" that was not representing a country. They were basically insurgents. Yet George Washington prohibited torture.

If George Washington did not need to torture the German and British troops who treated our soldiers without mercy, why did George W. Bush resort to torture? Oh, of course, because George W. Bush is not even a thousandth the man or soldier or leader that George Washington was.

[Enthusiast]

59. Damn, JDPriestly, once again

with the excellent posts.:fistbump: :applause: :woohoo:

[sce56]

48. If you dont think he has blood on his hands listen to Trans. Sec Norman Mineta Testimony 911 Comis

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDfdOwt2v3Y

The lowly Airman questions the VP's orders! Officially no shoot down order was given until 10 O'clock on Flight 93 so what was the order the Airman was questioning? Planes were scrambled from Langley 200 miles away yet 2 squadrons of fighter jets were 10 miles away at Andrews AFB why did they not scramble?

On Edit glad to be the 100th rec!

49. rampant impunity has become the norm

Many of these culprits have been let off the hook before, such as with Iran-contra, and even in business a conviction results in a fine that merely amounts to a modest tax on the ill-gotten gains, such as with Bank of America, recently.
Waiting for Karma to get them in the next lifetime isn't Justice.

[Enthusiast]

60. Sort of appears that

the C.I.A. has had their hands in domestic politics, events and affairs ever since Iran-Contra doesn't it. Well how else can they make the world safe for capitalism?

[Enthusiast]

58. I have a lot of questions.

We can start with the 2000 election. You know, the first one they stole. This is not a settled issue.

I don't think Gore would have gone along with allowing an attack on 9/11. The neo-cons would never have achieved this messed up state of the nation without 9/11. Can we please quit pretending that the Bush/Cheney Administration didn't have adequate warning to prevent 9/11?

[MissDeeds]

62. Still here

Still waiting.

64. K & R

They`re war criminals

[tclambert]

65. Should the wealthy and powerful be above the law?

That is the key question. I thought King Arthur settled this, that even a king should be subject to the law, but no, we have to keep fighting this fight. Since the Magna Carta, kings have officially had their "divine rights" limited. Yet the Magna Carta has faced many challenges. Our Declaration of Independence was mostly a list of complaints against the tyrannies committed by King George III. Every so often, we have to defend the law against the privileges of the powerful. Since Ford pardoned Nixon, we have needed to fight this fight.

Imagine for a moment the example it would set our children and the world if George W. Bush went to prison. No one, NO ONE should be above the law.

[pacalo]

127. Absolutely

Those people robbed us blind and their actions in doing so caused massive death and destruction. They deserve time in a real prison, not the country club type.

War profiteering is the lowest of the low to begin with, and when you throw in the fact that Iraq was a completely unnecessary war it's even more heinous.

At this point the only people willing to go after them are other countries and that's a sad commentary on where we are in the USA at this point.

132. It is all about impunity

The right is in full meltdown mode right now because they enjoy impunity.

Impunity for corporations and republicans will bring down this nation. Torture, cheating, lying...etc have become the new normal. This is because failure to prosecute legitimizes what they did. Impunity for Bush/Cheney on crimes against humanity gaurantees the next GOP president will be far worse. Why do you think the GOP governors are acting as dictators? Because they know they wont be prosecuted no matter what.

If the GOP governors are any indication, the next republican president, and yes the two party system guarantees there will be more GOP presidents, will push hard toward dictatorship.

Sorry, but this can of worms will never get opened.

Remember, we have freedom on our side and the good ol red white and blue! That makes killing brown people and occupying the world OK.
