Now that The New York Times has finally come out for a full on war crimes trial, naming Cheney et.al (but not Bush?) it’s only a matter of time before justice is served. Looks like “enhanced interrogation” is about to get a new definition. The old one. It’s a curious omission not to have included The Decider into the mix though. Very curious indeed. I can just see Cheney trying to cop a plea by giving up Bush as the “mastermind” behind the whole ordeal! Maybe it’s just my fantasy.

I joined the Army two days after the 9/11 attacks. I joined the Army because our country had been attacked. I wanted to strike back at those who had killed some 3,000 of my fellow citizens. I did not join the Army to go to Iraq, a country that had no part in the September 2001 attacks and did not pose a threat to its neighbors, much less to the United States. I did not join the Army to “liberate” Iraqis or to shut down mythical weapons-of-mass-destruction facilities or to implant what you cynically called “democracy” in Baghdad and the Middle East. I did not join the Army to rebuild Iraq, which at the time you told us could be paid for by Iraq’s oil revenues.

There is no statute of limitations on war crimes.

The trend to put everything in a click-bait listicle has led to the invention of the word itself.
Would it be too much to ask for a listicle of the doctors who scientifically decided exactly how hard we could physically abuse prisoners-of-war?
Did they strap an iPhone onto the prisoners and capture the data on a “health and fitness” app as they bounced them off the walls?
I dunno, but it seems kinda ‘war crime’ish” to me and I want to avoid those doctors who engaged in this type of medicine in any case. Who has the list? Is it left for me to come up with a listicle of listicles that have been overlooked for far too long?

While many Americans struggle to pay off their student loans, at least one group of favored foreigners are not belabored with such debt:
American officials agreed to send the two terrorists from Guantanamo to Saudi Arabia where they entered into an “art therapy rehabilitation program” and were set free, according to U.S. and Saudi officials.
Set free. As in “free to return to attacking America”. Heckuva job Bushie. Worst president ever.
BTW Obama, war crimes trials are LONG overdue.

“The company’s autopsy will be a complicated affair, entailing numerous lawsuits. What is already clear, and will come as a shock to millions of trusting individual investors across America, is that the financials of a Fortune 500 company were essentially a mystery. Enron’s death watch began last month when it grudgingly disclosed that $1.2 billion of its market value had vanished as a result of “related-party” transactions with private partnerships that enriched company insiders. Then Enron admitted that it had overstated its profits over the last five years by $600 million. Dynegy cited Enron’s lack of forthrightness as a reason to walk away from the merger agreement.
Not very long ago, competitors and Democrats in Washington were worrying whether the close ties between Enron’s chairman, Kenneth Lay, and George W. Bush would give the company too much influence. Enron has aggressively lobbied, with some success in recent years, to limit regulation and disclosure of its trading operations.” #seenontheweb

Creative accounting and “deregulation” allowed millions of American’s to be duped into furthering the wealth of the few at the expense of the many. Republicans continue to stifle all information that would make them look bad under the guise it’s to keep our kids safe from terrorists.
Republicans have already figured out how to save our children from prosperity. Will they attempt to figure out a way to shift the blame to the Democrats? Count on them to give it their all.
The Republican party, headed up by the Bush family, is as intellectually corrupt and morally blind as the Enron Corp was financially irresponsible. It’s no wonder they’re best barbecue buddies are Saudi Arabian Muslims who like to inflict barbaric public floggings on irreverent bloggers. Bush probably wishes he could strap Michael Moore to a post and beat him bloody too. He can always count on Colin Powell to testify Moore had yellowcake in his pocket.
