So Cheney has a problem with a foreign government

[malaise]

torturing an American while he defends torturing foreigners?
is that what he said on the Today Show this morning?
Will be discussed on Tweety with sub Smerconish.

Well fugger, that's why we have the Geneva Convention. Were I not against all torture I'd wish it on that war criminal of a Dick.

Cliff May he has on here.
Torture is torture -it is a war crime.

Thanks Bob Baer! Expose these war criminals. It is illegal.
Cheney is a fugging hypocrite.

3. Odd, isn't it?

Iran just prosecuted those two American hikers they found who had strayed over their border (the hikers' story) as spies (Iran's story). Despite their status as foreigners, the hikers were given due process under Iranian law, a trial in open court, and convicted. Now, I don't know that Iran practices the same kind of criminal law as we are supposed to practice in the U.S., and maybe it was a total kangaroo court job, getting the conviction, but I haven't heard any formal protest of any procedural irregularities. Apparently Iran has more faith in its system of justice than we do in the United States, even while trying foreigners.

The failure of the United States to investigate its actions is disgraceful, and we have no business at all dictating to other countries how they should conduct their affairs until we at least investigate these alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity.
