Former Vice President Dick Cheney creates a new Talking Point that terrorism existed long before his Administration started torturing detainees. However, Military Interrogators and former Jihadists disagree.

1. There are two fundamental types of humans: those who think Force works and those who think Force

does not work.

The reason Neo-Con Chickenhawks don't get how torture radicalizes our enemies is because they are the kind of people who surrender their own principles under the threat of losing their Mercedes Benz, or losing their 3rd home, or under the threat of having to put their children in Public Schools. They simply cannot imagine how Coercion, even in the name of something Good, causes Contrariness to become more and more and more and more Contrary, until there is no "solution" left, but the "final" one, Genocide, and THAT'S what their religious fanatic base is hoping for, so that's how they get into office again and again.

We NEED Public Campaign Finance reform and Instant Run-Off voting on Paper Ballots counted in Public.

3. Yes they do, but republican hate people of color, more radicals means more wars- more profits

Republicans are all about imperialism, if they can create more enemies it's excellent for weapons, business & corporations...

Get Fucking Real - Republican want to create enemies, they hate ethnic people, they love to kill & create pain, they want to make money, war has gotten them elected and they love stealing other country's resources...Even though they pretend for the cameras otherwise and hide behind Christianity!
