2. Your 12th post.
Is that a case where something occurred and it was not in the news.

Or are you saying that did not happen.

My point is, if it did happen, or did not, would you have heard about it?

From that you don't support a person, but instead support a concept, that idea would fit within ideas of justice and compassion, although you would also have to assume it had something to do with Bush, so from there it would not be about Bush either.

So, someone that sues another person, of illegal war, and torture, would be the type of idea I would support, although it would seem to be needed to be in a criminal court.


Unless it could be shown that the action of the person was done by someone else, and not his action. Or if such an action could be shown not to be torture, and that only being a way someone sees it from there own mind. And ample explanation of how to correct that flaw that gets them to see that. For instance, break up the consolidations, support justice with compassion.

and I am due beer and travel money, and that will be sent.

3. I remember Congress voting on the IWR and someone subsequently introducing ...
articles of impeachment and most Dems remaining silent.

4. I'll go and tell him on twitter. I love to go there and challenge almost everything
he says. You wouldn't believe the lies all day long tweet after tweet. I saw someone else, GOPonzicon really telling Ryan, McConnell and Boner off for a couple of days. That guy is vicious but completely righteous.

5. The irony: Iraq as legal under US law since Congress approved it, but illegal under
international law. Libya is legal under international law (the UN authorized it), but (at least arguably) illegal under US law (depending on interpretations of the War Powers Act and its constitutionality) since Congress has not approved it.

A question: What would it be like if our government and people insisted that acting in compliance with international law was paramount. Iraq and Afghanistan would not have happened, but Libya (Ivory Coast, Darfur and others) would.
