In an attempt to dissway the inevitable back-lash, outrage of the American people over today's Senate report on torture, George Bush and Dick Cheney along with their "neo-con-chicken-hawks loyalist began to do in earnest what they've always done, what they've been successful at time and time again whenever their criminal activities are to be revealed they go into full "propaganda mode" starting with applying of the "Propaganda lipstick" on the Pig, this time its a Pig named CIA Torture Program (which if it weren't so repugnant sounds like a game show.) However as in most cases, if not applied with a steady hand, care and professionalism too much lipstick tends to bleed, smear, making said pig to appear garish...like a bad stand-in for the late great Betty Davis (sorry Ms. Davis) in Whatever Happened to Baby-Jane. They begin touting how successful these tactics were, how valuable information was gleamed from a little thing called "water-boarding." But, as Ali Soufan, former FBI Special Agent said when interrogating Abu Zubaydah: "When they are in pain, people will say anything to get the pain to stop. Most of the time, they will lie, make up anything to make you stop hurting them. That means the information you're getting is us."
Unfortunately, as everyone knows (except Rethuglicans) no amount of lipstick, foundation, eyeliner, perfume can remove the ugly stench of what they have done in Iraq/Afghanistan to the people of Iraq, of Afghanistan. As more American read the Senate Report and fully understand what was done in "our-collective-name" they will come to know, as Malcolm X said "You've been had, you've been took, you've been hoodwinked, bamboozled." They will know that their President and his elk looked us in the eye and LIED and for that there is no redemption. And what about us, what can we do to redeem ourselves for the scourge we released on the world community..can we ask and expect redemption
