Hey, you just knew it was going to happen! Condi Rice and the other Brownshirts who worked loyally for George Bush will today lie to anyone who asks them a question about enhanced interrogations torture! Yeah, yeah, even a 4th grader has to censor his question to Condi Brownshirt for fear that some truth might get out…
From Think Progress:
Speaking to students at Stanford University last month, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice defended the Bush administration’s interrogation policies, saying that they did not constitute torture and were legal “by definition” because President Bush authorized them. Rice was put on the defensive on the issue again today while visiting an elementary school in Washington, DC. During a Q & A session with students, a 4th grader named Misha Lerner asked Rice about “the things President Obama’s administration was saying about the methods the Bush administration had used to get information from detainees”
Here’s Misha original question that ended up being censored: “If you would work for Obama’s administration, would you push for torture?”
Condi keeps whistling past the graveyard! She’s good at it too. Remember…..waterboarding is a summer sport that Americans do while vacationing! It’s not torture. And if you have to waterboard someone 183 times, that means they’re having a vacation of a lifetime! See? Condi says so.
By the way, if you want to read what Condi said, click on the ‘Think Progress’ link in the post.
That 4th grader did more in a 10 second question then the White House Press Corps(e) did in the 8 years of the Bush administration.
I know Chris! There are some kids in our nation who are dynamite.
Longtime financial backers of the 43rd president have raised more than $100 million for a presidential library to enshrine Dubya’s “coloring book” at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Much of the money was collected in the 100 days since Bush left the White House, a pace much faster than any of his recent predecessors. The goal to start construction is $300 million.
Bush favors guarding the names of donors to his presidential library in Dallas, but Congress has revived a bill that would require him to identify some of them.
The proposal, pending in the Senate after the House passed it in January, does not cover contributions Bush received during his presidency. But if it becomes law, Bush’s nonprofit library foundation would have to disclose four times a year all donors of $200 or more for a window of time: starting when the law takes effect until at least 2013.
Won’t most of the donations be in by 2013, thus allowed to be kept secret?
I wonder if the Saudi royal and the bin Laden donations will be made public?
Haen’t seen a lot of press about the teleban beheading three civilians in Pakistan but we sure see a lot of press about water droplets. We should prosecute those responsible and I am completely in favor of this. The leaders and followers who tortured should be investigated for each single person and event in which torture was done.
We should start with Hitler, proceed to Stalin, Mao Zedong, CheGuevara, Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot, Shining Path, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein, the Blood Diamonds thugs, and a few others; when those millions of cases of death and maiming are adjudicated, we can start on the embarrassment and discomforts caused by Bush/Cheny/Pelosi.
