Foley waterboarded.

I don't want to hear one more word from any of the Cheney's, Rumsfield or John Yoo or any of the Fox claque defending or denying torture. This is what happens when you render the Geneva Accords "quaint and obsolete". These fools, bullies and flacks have unleashed the hounds of Hell and still pontificate on how foreign policy ought to be handled when they should be wearing sack cloth and ashes, living in cave begging for forgiveness for the heinous crimes they committed.

They exist in such a self-satisfied, hermetically sealed world of servants, yes-men, and fellow ideological purists, they're completely oblivious to the consequences of their actions.

Okay, let me get this straight:

White men aim guns at federal officials, it's a "peaceful" standoff; feds never draw weapons. (Bundy ranch)
Non-white people peacefully protest, police aim guns at them. (Ferguson)

White men waterboard brown people, it's "enhanced interrogation."
Brown people waterboard a white man, it's "torture."

But as Bill O'Reilly says, there's no white privilege in America. Ummm... yeah, ok.
