Good read … with facts no doubt.

This stands on it’s own;
Dick Cheney’s lies about President Obama
by, Eugene Robinson
It’s pathetic to break a New Year’s resolution before we even get to New Year’s Day, but here I go. I had promised myself that I would do a better job of ignoring Dick Cheney’s corrosive and nonsensical outbursts — that I would treat [...]

According to the Talking Heads today, GITMO should NOT be closed because of the latest terrorism attempt

What a bunch of bullshit. We’re to believe still that al-Qaida or anyone who wants to set themselves on fire on an airplane or who wants to blow up their shoe over the Atlantic Ocean that America is NOT powerful enough to protect itself? Are the Talking Heads frigging serious? Yes they are! They believe [...]

Someone mentions ‘illegal torture’ and then Dick Cheney & John McCain come out of the woodwork!

Here’s what John McCain said about torture on Face the Nation:

(CLICK HERE FOR TRANSCRIPT)
Torturing Iraqis and others helped to recruit new members of al-Qaida. McCain said he got this information from an al-Qaida operative. I don’t care where he got the information, because we all know whoever is doing the torturing is the one who [...]

First GITMO prisoner is on American soil this morning

(photo)
He’s in New York City this morning and I can’t wait to hear what the right wingers have to say about this! Let me guess…the end is near now? With all the extreme criminals we have in our current prison system, the right wingers will be so frightened to have this GITMO prisoner on our [...]

Read it all ……………………… if you can

Bush and Cheney LIED as usual,
Wanna STILL claim the US didn’t torture under Bush?
Read it all …… if you can stomach it.
….then remember how bad John McCain told us all the Hanoi Hilton was ….
What makes our actions different from those who tortured John McCain?
Very similar techniques were used by the North Vietnamese and [...]

Nancy Pelosi gives us the rundown on holding the Bush Regime accountable for their crimes & abuses

A lot of liberals and neocons hate and despise Nancy Pelosi. I get that. However, over the two years she’s been Speaker of the House and as her time as a Congresswoman, I’ve given her more credit than most and I’m telling you…my support of Nancy got me in a lot of trouble online. Yep, [...]

Uh oh. Former GITMO guard has become a whistleblower!

From Harpers Magazine (emphasis mine):
Army Private Brandon Neely served as a prison guard at Guantánamo in the first years the facility was in operation. With the Bush Administration, and thus the threat of retaliation against him, now gone, Neely decided to step forward and tell his story. “The stuff I did and the stuff I [...]

Leon Panetta has been chosen as CIA Director under Barack Obama

Hey, what’s that sound coming from the current CIA offices under George Bush? Oh that’s right! It’s this….

(picture)
I guess having someone like Leon Panetta coming in as the new CIA Director, you know, a guy who is against the use of torture and is an outsider, so the sound of paper shredders has got to [...]

George Bush’s guilt-by-association this week

(picture credit)
Since the neocons are trying desperately to prove that Barack Obama & Illinois Gov. Blagojevich conspired together to sell his vacant US Senate seat and are using the ‘guilt by association’ meme to prove it, it gives me great pleasure to alert you to this criminal act that George Bush committed in the same [...]
