The Noose Tightens

They Needed Their First Amendment Zones for their Nuremburg like Rallies. Now lets give them their well earned Nuremburg like trials the earned. Ban the GOP . Send them down with the National Socialists and Baath parties forever.
No more GOP plotting cabals and Enclaves harming us from within . Ever!

If the American people were as lawless as the Bush administration the social order would breakdown in a single day and chaos would reign supreme.

Torture, abuse, maltreatment, call it what you will, this "administration" has been nothing but homicidal, criminal, and abusive in all of its arrogance. If the coven of thugs headed by W, is not held accountable for its crimes, we move on to yet another chapter in American history that tries to make us all forget it ever happened. Much as the blame for 9/11 has never been established officially, so will all of this torture talk step aside for the next set of horrors or terrors. This "administration" has seen the most convenient, circumstantial, and coincidental series of events to make everything go its evil ways. How does anyone trust the truth from these war profiteers who slipped into office twice by means of voting fraud and manipulation. This is the same group of traitors who predicted a "Pearl Harbor type of incident" would be necessary to get its hegemonic dreamworld underway. And guess what happened nine months into their power trip? The rest is a chapter of history that will torture all of us for generations to come. And how's this for another guess: These evil bastards will get away with it.
America the beautiful.

Oh, Jonathan: Stop whoring for the Bush dictatorship. You have abouut twenty-five excuses for them burned into your first paragraph. It reads like a Bush attorney's opening statement:
BTW, it's not *abuse,* it's *torture.*

According to CCRJustice.org, ???The Center for Constitutional Rights is outraged at President Obama???s choice of the right wing Rev. Rick Warren to lead the convocation at his inauguration. This is ???change??? we can neither believe in nor support. Many of us have been looking forward to this inauguration as we have no other in the past, with great hope that the new administration will restore our Constitution and its place in a nation of laws.???

How does the convocation relate to the Constitution?

Lets see, why did Pres Elect Obama keep President Bush Defense intact, after he was privy to all the info that a President sees everyday. I hope they get the Medal of Freedom for keeping this Country safe.

I'f I remember correctly Captain Henry Wirz--the Commandant of Andersonville prison during the Cvil War was hanged for war crimes. This could be a precedent for prosecution (without the hanging part)

Just like Michael Jackson, Cheney will relocate to another country to avoid prosecution. I agree that Bush will pardon them all (including himself) of all future charges... Yes, he can legally do this

Hell, give them a medal.

Hey, what's all the crying about. What's a little torture among cowards. After all none of the "chosen one's by the Supreme Court of December 2000" will ever serve in the military and ever have to endure "enhanced interrogation" if captured. Kidnapping of citizens of the US and other countries is ok, you bettcha,; because lawyer Yoo says so. So, I guess until 1/20/09 we will have to get over it; then the fun for us true American's who have been embarrassed by this bunch yahoos will begin. Maybe Lawyer Yoo will come up with a defense strategy. Nah, that takes brains.

George will pardon everyone, including himself. Nothing is too low for that man to do. The only thing more embarassing than his leadership these past eight years is the morons who voted TWICE for him.

Torture is clearly defined for the Military in thier code of conduct and it has been quite clear that water boarding is torture and we have actually prosecuted people who have used it....so it is not some gray area we are dealing with it is clearly black and white and if Cheney gave the ok he should be prosecuted.

At the very least someone has to be publicly admonished. If Cheney is guilty the Congress should pass a resolution stating so for all the world to see. He and others who broke the law should be treated as any other citizen and if jail is necessary so be it. Cheney needs to be investigated for many other things as well. For eight years we have had a mafia like bunch running the Whitehouse, breaking any rule they wished to and they need to pay for it.

If extreme measures are ever necessary, it is necessary that those who take those extreme measures know that what they do is regarded by civilized people as shameful, inhuman, barbaric; it is necessary that they accept the taint and the guilt of doing what must be done; and it is necessary that they feel great fear of punishment for taking extreme measures; they must keep such things silent, secret, and hidden. The problem with these individuals is they believe it to be a proud thing that they did--they boast of it in public--they seek to render legal the blatantly and categorically illegal. And by doing so, they impugn all of us in the actions that they took.
If Mr. Cheney, Mr. Addington, and Mr. Yoo are to order torture, and then have the chutzpah to suggest that the law supports their actions, then the law must make itself clear that it never can support such actions, for if it does not do so, then the indelible stain of torture be upon us all. The law must try them and punish them, for, as a US court once said, "like the pirate and the slaver before him, the torturer has become hostis humani generis, the enemy of all mankind". Torture is an abomination upon the Constitution and the honor of the People of the United States.
And Mr. Yoo, Mr. Cheney, and Mr. Addington have forced us into the place where if we are to remain silent in the face of what they have admitted, it is to give our acquiescence--nay, not just our acquiescence, but our sanction, indeed, our approval, of the crimes that they have committed.
So, fellow Americans, whose side are you on? Do you or don't you support torture? Declare yourselves. Do you support the Constitution, do you support the rule of law, do you support our ancient civil liberties, and the concept of inalienable rights? Or do you support torture? And, if you do not support it, know that your silence is just as much a declaration of support as declaring so loudly, publicly, without shame, and with self-righteous, pretentious piety.
So, on the one hand there will be the torturers, and those who are their apologists (they are one and the same); on the other hand there will be the Americans.
Torture is terror, and with torture and terror, those who harbor and support them will share in their fate.
You're either with us Americans, or you're against us.
There is and cannot be any middle ground.
There can only be punishment.

If these crooks face any charges it should be for the patriot act (should be called the traitor of the constitution act).

This is like any other crime. Anyone who even contemplates such actions needs to know bad things will happen to him if he carries these acts out.
