Prosecute Cheney NOW---or scrap all this "rule of law" nonsense you're still
feeding the kids in school.

We can prosecute Dick---OR---we can abandon the notion of "equal justice under the law".

The nation I grew up in would have called that a "no-brainer".

1. the nation you grew up in didn't mainstream torture and collective guilt, either
Edited on Tue Feb-16-10 09:22 PM by MisterP
every time we let the thugs go (Ike's CIA goons, LBJ's Vietnam planners, Nixon's domestic spies and roided-up psychopaths, Reagone's Iran-Contra-Garden-Plot fanatics, Poppy's PR flacks, Clinton's DLC twerps, and *'s war pigs and Videla clones) they just come back worse and more virulent--and more certain of their impunity

the Shock Doctrine was imported from Latin America in the late 70s; School of the Americas tactics in the 00s; when do we get to Operation Condor?

the fundies are proving grounds (torture is OK for enemies of God, Israel is the Middle East's only hope and rightful ruler (though this originated with pro-Israel Red Diaper Babies...)), and then 30-40% of Americans adopt it, including the Sam Harrises

:shudder:

2. The current administration has their own "stuff" to take care of now.
They probably don't want a future administration looking too closely at them.

3. So, is that an effort to "derail" the post's topic?
Are you SERIOUSLY comparing Obama to Cheney?

If you are saying that Obama has "stuff" he wants to conceal that in anyway compares to the torture, elective war, warrantless wiretapping and searches, et cetera ad nauseum, please be specific and provide links.

6. YES! Past time to prosecute!
KO had Bruce Fein on tonight discussing the 'confession'..
I was a bit disappointed,
Fein didn't think prosecution likely..YET.
Try to see it, if You can.

Me, I'll continue to petition my government
at www.afterdowningstreet.org
www.indictbushnow.org
www.prosecutegeorgebush.com
www.congress.org ,etc.
& I'll continue to ask why my President isn't
making JUSTICE in this case, a PRIORITY?

They must be afraid they will be culpable too.
