5. I think that last line is the take away point here
Especially with regards to people in power (politicians, police, etc...) who do things that are blatantly wrong and in many cases illegal where they don't end up having to pay the price for their actions in the long run. I think we need to get back to throwing people who break laws, regardless of their standing or position, in jail for their crimes.

6. The purpose of torture or...
Edited on Sun Nov-27-11 09:49 AM by FlyByNight
..."enhanced interrogation" is NOT to gain information. It's done to elicit a false confession. In this case, to justify the corporate-sponsored invasion and occupation of Iraq. So much for accountability from the current administration on this. The 1% simply aren't held accountable anymore. Law-breaking is now a matter of interpretation the higher up you go either within governmental or corporate circles.

CNN is irrelevant and staffed by ratings/access whores. They should be ashamed of themselves but that would require a conscience and some measure of non-DC-centric, self awareness.

8. CNN & the corporate MSM is just as much responsible for the Iraq War as the RW propaganda cabal.

9. Justice must be done!
This has been the single biggest mistake made by President Obama, not bringing people in issuing indictments, having investigations, and prosecutions, of the Bush administration.

11. I wish there were "like" buttons next to some of these comments. We need to prosecute and to
line the guilty up against the wall and shoot them in a firing
squad of marines.  Then we will not have this kind of behavior
surface again.

12. This includes Congress members that did not levy compulsory tax without favor and instead borrowed
money to operate with interest.  We seize their property and
cash and restore our treasure according to the rule of law. 
These people have committed fraud and treason much more than
the Rosenbergs even would have dreamed of (if they really did
anything at all)... they must pay.

of rich bankers, lawyers, former Bush administration top folks.

Unfortunately, our courts are too jammed up prosecuting drug addicts, petty criminals, and wife beaters or spouse murderers.

What does THAT say about our nation's population, ethics, drug laws and legal system in general?

Moreover, what does it say about what future politicians, like New Gingrich, and current "news" celebrities like Glenn Beck and Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity can get away with with their lies?

NOW REMEMBER THIS: according to Fox News, Obama is the incompetent President, and Bush and Cheney never did ANYTHING wrong!

How screwed this nation is!

political block.  Give them support and courage. This land is
their inheritance.  We fucked it up.  We got to fix it before
we hand it over.  It is only 400 people we need to deflate and
seize the property of... easy.  Need a Congress or 38 states
to hold a convention.  Not only Congress members need to pay
for their fraud, but also Supreme Court Judges are guilty of
dismantling our rule of law and allowing insanity to ensue
without punity.  They need to go as well.  Fuck the
constitution that they did not honor either for this one.  Use
whatever is necessary but rid ourselves of the vermin
quickly... like with the Seals or something and call it a
national emergency... they need to become very afraid for what
they have done.  Fess up, give back the loot and go to jail or
be in a line up to be shot at a new dawn coming.  We cannot be
resigned and snarky... even if you have enough.  There is a
lot of work to be done to shift this quickly and without too
much pain.  Stop being lazy voyeurs.  Who can do this?  And do
it with national honor?  The pigs needs to go.
