I think the CIA just rounded up a bunch of men and said they were Al-Queda and that's all.

Making them "Prisoners of Her Depravation."

Impeachment for torture could have them home for the Holidays.

We CAN still force it in spite of Madame Squeaker. Just keep talking impeachment to anyone you can.

And if you are still making any excuse or wasting effort on anything else -- including (genuflect) The Sacred National Election Horserace -- then you (yes, you personally) are part of the problem, not the solution.

the impeach now campaign. Bill Moyer/Jonathan Turley are never seen running up & down the street with their hair on fire. The extent to which the movement has gathered steam has not been via histrionic tools and forms of guerrilla theater; but by cooler heads holding cold, blue legal briefs. Guerrilla theater, while based in tradition, had only been utilized not by Peolsi where guerrilla theater itself is a cause for cause celeb...but by the Cheney/Bush Admin, where they behaved as though they seen it coming all along *and* in advance declaring it "hysteria" they dismissed all of it out of hand. What a waste of time; years.

Nothing like telegraphing your intentions to a group that had no intention of playing along in either event. It's easy to put a tag Pelosi she's just standing there. The ones need be tagged, having little respect for "talking" or for that matter legal briefs; are already rolling down a war torn road half way round the world.

And if that is not understood, that is not merely "part of the problem"; that is in great measure the problem itself.

This Bush guy's inaugural limo should have been made to labor beneath more than just rotten eggs the first time around. It should have been rocked, rolled & tipped over...if ever so gently, if we are so peaceful here. To say nothing year after year while the world is disassembled in the waiting for Godot is not claim action but acquiescence imo. Pelosi is current news, acquiescence to dictatorship is quite nearly antique. And no one cares to look in the mirror to see themselves shaking hands with despot.

It therefore must feel better; it must make you (yes, you personally) feel better, to sit on the beach of a breezy blue day with puffy white clouds floating past the sun on your shoulders, while private aircraft looking down upon your handiwork, like God, snap jpegs for your website.

...by your definition. But I'd sure like to sit Madame Squeaker down and force her to watch it. Then ask that she explain her oppostion to impeaching the torture regime to that man's family.

And it's my best guess that the impeachment movement has gathered steam more on the basis of its obvious necessity -- rather than either legal briefs or beach walking exclusively. And I would imagine -- since I engage in neither myself -- that both bring with it the personal satisfaction of doing what one is able to bring about justice.

What I can't imagine is by what mechanism one would would think that bushcheney could be "tagged" -- or even stopped from chuckling -- other than impeachment itself. Since, as you say, we can clearly include "blue legal briefs" -- and court rulings, and passed legislation, and decades-old treaty obligations -- among those things they "dismissed...out of hand."

Which leaves us with only Pelosi -- who's hardly "just standing there." It was she who wasted years claiming to be "ratcheting up the pressure." And she who now falsely and bizarrely maintains that impeachment requires "cooperation from the Administration" (?!?) And FWIW, it is also she who "put a tag" on herself, when she accepted her powerful place in the US Gov't.

But it's still not "easy" to come to the conclusion that Pelosi is the last bushcheney firewall against accountability. No one enjoys wondering if someone in their own party sat in a classified briefing and willingly joined the torture team. Or that she's craven enough to abide it all for a bit of electoral/political advantage (which is arguably worse).

That's just the reality of it. And being angrier at bushcheney than at Pelosi doesn't change it.

Impeachment remains our ONLY moral, patriotic option. Pelosi remains the largest obstacle -- along with Obama -- in the path of achieving it.

I think posting this video was helpful. Sorry you don't feel better about it.
