Bill Tierney ("torture" & "sadism" are "fun") outside Schiavo hospice
Bill Tierney...

..."a former military intelligence officer in Iraq who works as a translator and investigator for private companies"...

...who spent "eight months working as an interrogator for US forces in Baghdad"...

...who's publicly stated that when it comes to "torture" and "sadism": "There's a part of you that will say 'this is fun.'"

This Bill Tierney felt "an utter need to be at the hospice" and so he's out there, standing watch, waiting for Terri to die.

Details via Billmon.

3. He was an arms inspector TOO....
This definitely deserves more attention....

Tierney was also an arms inspector who helped lie us into a war with Iraq...here he is on Sean Hannity's show on 3/24/03:

"Former weapons inspector Bill Tierney... said on the Sean Hannity radio show that we will be shocked with what we are going to find in Iraq. He has no doubt we will find huge amounts of what Iraq swears it does not have.
In addition, Tierney said that he has told our government where Hussein has hidden an underground uranium plant. Tierney said "I can drive there with my eyes shut.""

And how did he know where that underground uranium plant was?

"Tierney's methods of ascertaining this location were rather unconventional. "I would ask God and just get a sense if something was valid or not, and then know if I needed to pursue it," he said. His assessments through prayer were then confirmed to him by a friend's clairvoyant dream, where he was able to find the location on a map. "Everything she said lined up. This place meets the criteria," Tierney said of a power generator plant near the Tigris River that he believes is actually a cover for a secret uranium facility. "

And AFTER the war, where did such a specimen find a job? Why, he was given a post at Gitmo...where he had FUN with torture...

"Bill Tierney . . . had just returned from eight months working as an interrogator for US forces in Baghdad, and had come to talk, on the record, about torture.
''The Brits came up with an expression – wog,'' Tierney said. ''That stands for Wily Oriental Gentleman. There's a lot of wiliness in that part of the world.''. . .
After explaining his various psychological tactics to the audience, interrogator Bill Tierney (a private contractor working with the Army) said, ''I tried to be nuanced and culturally aware. But the suspects didn't break.''
Suddenly Tierney's temper rose. ''They did not break!'' he shouted. ''I'm here to win. I'm here so our civilization beats theirs! Now what are you willing to do to win?'' he asked, pointing to a woman in the front row. ''You are the interrogators, you are the ones who have to get the information from the Iraqis. What do you do? That word 'torture'. You immediately think, 'That's not me.' But are we litigating this war or fighting it?'' . . .
Asked about Abu Ghraib, Tierney said that for an interrogator, ''sadism is always right over the hill. You have to admit it. Don't fool yourself – there is a part of you that will say, 'This is fun.' "

4. let's see--a torturer, a convicted sex offender--who else is
in the ranks of the self-rightous, meddling, sanctimonious, hypocritical, self-serving scum that are disrupting the final moments of the hospice patients as well as the neighborhood in Pinellas Park, demanding martial law, essentially, to serve their own twisted agenda, monopolizing the media with their utterly useless bullshit??
I wish I had the time and resources to track every one of their attention-seeking pathetic asses and expose them for the ignorant waste products they are. Obviously none of them works for a living; these are undoubtedly the same wingnuts who went ape-shit over a stupid rock in a courthouse and apparently will continue to be paid well for useless disruptions over non-causes ad nauseum.

7. Some loser guy was there with 8 of his 11 kids and the wife
over the weekend. He wanted his kids to experience the event. WTF? How do you support 11 kids? More to the point, why wasn't this man at work instead of hanging out at the hospice freak show? These people are sick.

:wtf:

9. Registered sex offender also protesting outside hospice
Scott Heldreth is a registered sex offender in the state of Florida, marked as "absconded from registration."

Lots like all kinds of whackjobs are coming out of the woodwork to bring Terri back from the undead.

14. Someone, please, throw a net over these wackos
and take them away somewhere else to hold their sick vigil. They are not protesting for any kind of civil rights, rather, they are denying dying people and their families peace and quiet.

If this was an anti-war protest (anti-killing innocent Iraqi people protest), by now, everyone would have been herded into fenced "free speech zones",tasered, beaten with billy clubs, maced, pepper sprayed, hand cuffed and hauled off to the clink.
