No matter how thorough you might try to brand disagreement as disloyalty, Mr Bush, there are still people like Daniel Levin who believe in the United States of America as true freedom, where we are better not because of schemes and wars, but because of dreams and morals. And ultimately, sir, these men, these patriots will defeat you and they will return this country to its righteous standards, and to its rightful owners: The People.

.........

Finally tonight, as promised, a Special Comment on the meaning of the story of former U.S. Acting Assistant Attorney General Daniel Levin.

It is a fact startling in its cynical simplicity and it requires cynical and simple words to be properly expressed:

The presidency of George W. Bush has now devolved into a criminal conspiracy to cover the ass of George W. Bush.

All the petulancy, all the childish threats, all the blank-stare stupidity;

All the invocations of World War Three, all the sophistic questions about which terrorist attacks we wanted him not to stop, all the phony secrets; all the claims of executive privilege, all the stumbling tap-dancing of his nominees, all the verbal flatulence of his apologists…

All of it is now — after one revelation last week — transparently clear for what it is: the pathetic and desperate manipulation of the government, the re-focusing of our entire nation, towards keeping this mock president, and this unstable vice president, and this departed wildly self-over-rating Attorney General — and the others — from potential prosecution for having approved or ordered the illegal torture of prisoners being held in the name of this country.

Merely reading KO's special comments aren't enough, I need to see it!

:woohoo:

The country cannot take anymore of this. The phony F@#KER in the White House has done enough damage. Please Congress get a clue.
What part of 'committed a crime' do you not understand? :dem:

Because Feinstein, among others, don't want him to be!

There has to be a connection. blackmail, or worse?

And a memo to our politicians... THIS IS WHAT A SPINE LOOKS LIKE!!!

For crissakes, is it asking too much to have our representatives show one tenth this much passion and outrage about something so clear cut, so morally repulsive as torture??

Without a mask.

Fer sure. America has had enough of your lies and republicon crony corruption and sexual deviancy, Mr. Bush.

McCain's statements against torture say it all.

I only bring up McCain because, in spite of his flip-flopping, pandering of the last seven years, a lot of people value his opinion. Honestly, when it comes to this issue of prisoners/detainees and torture, I value his opinion as having "been there." Sadly, he continues to support things (Mukasey) which disappoint, but I still like to use his words when interacting with those who roll their eyes at torturing not being an issue since "they're the bad guys." A decade ago I really respected McCain but he has lost this because of his sucking up of the last seven years. Still, when it comes to this issue, his words are useful when interacting with people who don't understand the significance of Bushco's policies regarding torture.

"Mr. President, to fight terrorism we need intelligence. That much is obvious. What should also be obvious is that the intelligence we collect must be reliable and acquired humanely, under clear standards understood by all our fighting men and women. To do differently not only offends our values as Americans, but undermines our war effort, because abuse of prisoners harms - not helps - us in the war on terror. First, subjecting prisoners to abuse leads to bad intelligence, because under torture a detainee will tell his interrogator anything to make the pain stop. Second, mistreatment of our prisoners endangers U.S. troops who might be captured by the enemy - if not in this war, then in the next. And third, prisoner abuses exact on us a terrible toll in the war of ideas, because inevitably these abuses become public. When they do, the cruel actions of a few darken the reputation of our country in the eyes of millions. American values should win against all others in any war of ideas, and we can't let prisoner abuse tarnish our image."

Why, oh why, is the rest of the MSM not on this? Guess it's too important to look at Paris Hilton. Hey assholes, your ratings are here! MSNBC's ratings would go throught the roof if the entire network went left (or at least honest).
