Call to Action: INDICT FOR WAR CRIMES!!! |
|
This week marked a milestone. The War Crimes Administration made it official, they openly admitted that they torture.
On Super Distraction Tuesday, CIA Director Hayden admitted that they tortured at least three individuals. They were authorized to admit this by the WH, who it seems gave the original authorization to commit the War Crimes.
On Wednesday, the WH said they did, and could torture again. All that is holding them back is Mukasey and the other lawyers are having a hard time coming up with the legal argument to justify War Crimes. The UN says its torture. Geneva says its torture. AMnesty International says its torture, and now the CIA admits further that it "may be illegal".
The CIA did not act on it's own. And since the WH has confirmed that they may "RE-authorize" the use of Torture, they are confirming that they had previously authorized Torture. We know Gonzo wrote a mealy mouthed justification on the use of Torture, but that does not make it legal.
Gonzo, Addington and chimpy(at a minimum) have been implicated in War Crimes this week. As criminal as this administration is, this takes the top. Our President authorized/ordered Torture. It is no longer speculative or even likely. It has been openly admitted.
The DoJ will not pursue this, because Gonzo's DoJ already blessed it. It is high time for Congress o stop the Madness of King George!
DEMAND IMPEACHMENT OF THE WAR CRIMINAL!!!
Please call John Conyers, your Representative, and you Senators.

2. The only advantage to waiting is they lose Pardon Power. |
|
And you run the risk of the next President and AG of wanting to look ahead, not backwards.
I really would like one of our candidates to take a strong position on holding every criminal in the War Crimes Administration to the full extent of the law.

6. I feel your rage tekisui |

But we have to come to terms with the fact that these fucks are gonna get away with all this shit. The lies, the war crimes, the wiretapping, New Orleans, Plame...we have got to come to grips with the reality of the situation...our elected officials for whatever reason are NOT GOING HOLD THESE CRIMINALS ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY OF THE CRIMES THEY HAVE COMMITTED. That much is clear. I suggest we accept that and work on plan b. Not sure what that is but to keep screaming for our stupid leaders to do anything only brings us turmoil. They are not going to hold up their oath...lets just accept that and move on. I recently came to terms with that reality and actually feel much better.

7. I am forced to come to those terms with each new crime. |
|
But, this is beyond that. Open admission of torture is disgraceful and disgusting. I am sicken to my stomach at what this means.
