Cheney: Saddam/Al Qaeda Link? Uh, Never Mind
All the carnage. All the lives destroyed. All the billions shoveled down the rat-hole. All of this based on a lie.
A lie that Dick Cheney now admits:
June 1 (Bloomberg) — Former Vice President Dick Cheney disavowed intelligence he once cited to suggest that then-Iraq dictator Saddam Hussein collaborated with al-Qaeda to stage the Sept. 11 attacks.
Cheney said today that [...]
A Modest Proposal
Mr Cheney,
I hereby challenge you to a test of torture. Over the course of a few days, I will have trained professionals administer enhanced interrogation techniques to you. You will be subjected to nothing stronger than we have subjected the detainees that we have held in the War on Terror to. You will be waterboarded, [...]
Inconvenient GITMO Truths

Just like everybody is bored with the criminal behavior of the Bush Administration (Although said boredom doesn’t extend to the slugs in the press who are outraged that Robert Gibbs didn’t treat Dick Cheney with respect.

This ruined my day, so I thought I’d ruin your day as well.

Question of the day
If I think my 15 y/o daughter is smoking but I’m not sure of it can I use enhanced interrogation tactics on her and her friends to find out?
My arguement is yes because:
1. It is a matter of life and death
2. It is illegal
3. she is a minor and a ward of my house
4. It isn’t [...]
So my Veterans Day post caused an uproar. I want to know how pissed you are that Cheney said this
Just to refresh your memories people. I had a post a few months ago you can see it here
Well Basically I implied or at least part of what I tried to convey was this is essentially the administrations line of belief that these boys and to some extent girls signed up for this. [...]
What, they couldn’t get to a thousand?
President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.
The study counted 935 false statements in the two-year period. It found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush and administration officials stated unequivocally on at [...]
Um WOW!
George McGovern Has written an Opinion Piece calling for the Impeachment of W.

Something to Think About
A friend of mine remarked last night that, in light of Cheney’s heart problems yesterday, George Bush was less than a heartbeat away from being President. Think about that for a minute.

THIS is what we have become as a Nation
prepare to be sick
the agency hired a group of outside contractors, who implemented a regime of techniques that one well-informed former adviser to the American intelligence community described as “a ‘Clockwork Orange’ kind of approach.” The experts were retired military psychologists, and their backgrounds were in training Special Forces soldiers how to survive torture, should [...]
Like this guy knows anything!
The Post’s recent series on Dick Cheney’s vice presidency certainly got my attention. Having held that office myself over a quarter-century ago, I have more than a passing interest in its evolution from the backwater of American politics to the second most powerful position in our government. Almost all of that evolution, under presidents and [...]

It’s funny you know
How the People are that run this country
After you read this article ask yourself how funny it is that the VP goes to such lengths to save a few farmers “livelihoods”, but does nothing about all the people that get laid off by Bank of America, Astra Zeneca, Chrysler or GM. Let alone cares about [...]
Above the law
The House Oversight Committee is demanding that Vice President Cheney explain himself. Is his office part of the executive branch? Part of the legislative branch? Or is Cheney suggesting that as far as federal rules are concerned, his office essentially doesn’t exist?
