We all are just not evil enough in our thinking, seems like...

The discourse over the past week did go to serve what many were thinking about torture programs anyway. Only it seems it was much, much worse. Some allegations, if true, turned my stomach. But have yet to be verified. And the Clown cars of the right scrambling to give 'justifications', and ooo, it was such a perilous time. Poppycock. BS! This stuff isn't going to go away, and the sooner the POTUS realises that fact, the better.

Can't pretend to know what sort of balancing act the POTUS has to master in order not to get into worse of a situation than he already is in. His 'caution' and 'reluctance' to take some steps and put the sunshine on this festering issue have both sides
clutching their panties, and that isn't good. And will, in the long run make him look indecisive and weak.

Americablog linked to this last nite. With the original link. You do not want to see the original link... It reveals the most paranoid fucked-up world-view.... well I knew they were crazy, but holy shit, hey! And I am KICKING myself for not having marked the only video I ran across from the DC Press Corps dinner, and TWO women in high fashion started SCREAMING at Rumsfeld when he walked in, 'War Criminal! War Criminal!' And not in tandem, mind you....

Found it on YouTube. Here is the link. It was the ladies from Code Pink. But look at this asshole's face. He thinks he is gonna live for fucking EVER. And I hope they RUINED his evening.

I'd like to CRUSH his balls in front of his wife and see how he likes it. With pliers. (I wouldn't touch him for a million Euros.) And that is one of the allegatgions which made me sick to my stomach. Doing that---allegedly---to a child in front of his father to make him 'talk'. Please note---alleged.

And THEY got arrested, of course. And he just kept walking along, smiling and bobbing, smiling and bobbing... It was eerie. (Note to self, RenB, throw in bookmarks for the things you find at three in the morning, you idjit... It wasn't anywhere else, but was on video...)

To say I am sickened by the apologists who somehow think they are going to keep their jobs by using the dumbest defenses of torture I have ever heard, ok, goes without saying.... Right, 'Have a nice night'... Class act on some poor guy who got to escort people in...

And am only going to say: you all got hijacked by some of the greatest criminals of all time, and the motive was just greed, paranoia, fear, and the ends justified the means for them.

I would very much like to see it dealt with. Make some noise, damn it! (I know, some are, but it isn't enough, the noise machine from the right is set too high. Cyberblast their broadcasting antennas, or something.... Which is only meant metaphorically....)

Just saying.....

The women of CodePink have been my greatest American heroes for many years now. Them and the Raging Grannies. These are women you DO NOT wanna fuck with. And not because a lot of veterans groups have got their backs but because they are tough on their own accord.

The crushing balls with pliers was graphicly described in one of the Yoo memoes which pretty much means it had already been used. So yeah it may only be an allegation at this point technically but I'd put money on it being true.

Rumsfeld IS sleaze! If his picture isn't next to the word in the dictionary then they aren't properly describing the word. And he's been hand in hand with Cheney since the Nixon years. Have you seen the story at GQ yet about the Bible verse's on the SecDef daily briefing reports to Bush? Fucked up!

Yeah, Terrible, I DID see Donnie's very odd memos, and linked to one of the reports, in fact...

And I did see the pliers reference before, but did not want to believe it... among other things... How do people think those things up?

And I think that might be the problem, things that are so horrific to everyday folks, you WANT to look away, and not believe it.

The Code Pink ladies are cool, and get treated by the media as bat-shit crazies, so far as I have seen...

Did you ever see the film 'The King of Hearts' around 1968? A French town gets abandoned in WWII, the people in the local insane asylum break out, and the inmates take over the town? (I think it was with Alan Arkin.)

And turned out to be more sane than the people who abandoned them?

The past eight years seem to have been similar, but the asylum was for the criminally insane.Parallel universe on the dark side, friend...

Just sayin'...
