"If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.” ~ John F. Kennedy, 1960

An Iraqi who died after being tortured with a power drill….
(image found HERE)
I remember many times under George Bush’s regime Iraqis being found in groups in Iraq on the side of the road bound, blindfolded, and tortured with power drills. Now we’re finding out today after the CIA’s Inspector General released a report that techniques used by the CIA included the use of power drills to terrify the prisoners in their custody. The report does not say that the drills were actually used on the prisoners, but what has been nagging at me for years now are the questions: WHO HAD POWER DRILLS IN IRAQ TO TORTURE IRAQIS WITH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT (after the nightly curfew was imposed each night) TO BEGIN WITH? AND WHO HAD THE MEANS TO PULL IRAQIS OUT OF THEIR HOMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT SO THEY COULD TORTURE & KILL? (in some cases the bodies were found in the morning which meant they had died somewhere between curfew the night before and dawn the next day)
I’m telling you…..the American contractors had the means to do both. And maybe some of our soldiers did too. We just found out recently that the CIA had hired Blackwater as an assassination squad who were SUPPOSED TO KILL TOP LEADERS IN AL-QAIDA. Sounds good, right? Well, I think Blackwater thought everyone who had brown skin was a top al-Qaida member and this is why Iraqis were found on the side of the road dead with power drill marks on their bodies! Spit.
I’m not saying all were tortured & killed with power drills by Blackwater, but I would like to know how many incidences they are connected to!
George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and the rest of the war criminals should be in prison!
By the way, I’m not happy either with President Obama for keeping Blackwater on the freaking payroll! It’s time to cut ties with these thieving vicious monsters!
From Democracy Now:
Report: Blackwater Involved in CIA Renditions
The German newspaper Der Spiegel is reporting the CIA used the private military firm Blackwater to transfer foreign prisoners to secret jails. Two former Blackwater employees reportedly claim Blackwater helped move the prisoners to secret prison camps in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. The news follows last week’s disclosures Blackwater has played a major role in the CIA’s drone attacks in Pakistan and in its aborted assassination program. According to the New York Times, Blackwater currently has over $400 million in State Department contracts. On Friday, the veteran journalist Helen Thomas asked White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs about the Obama administration’s dealings with Blackwater.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs: “I asked for an update, which I have not yet gotten, on where we are in different contracts. I would—as it relates to CIA’s use of contracting, I would point you specifically to them for responses on that.”
Helen Thomas: “I don’t think they would tell us.”
Gibbs: “They may tell you, Helen. If you use that sweet voice on the phone, you never know what you could get.”
Thomas: “I want them to stop killing people.”
Gibbs: “You should let them know.”
Thomas: “You should, too.”
President Obama gave a speech at Camp Lejeune on Friday where he told our troops that all but 35-50,000 troops will be out of Iraq by August 2010 and those soldiers held over will be returning to America during 2011. I’m sure the jackboot licking Bush neocons will consider this move by President Obama to be ‘cutting & running’ without stating America had won the illegal occupation of Iraq hands down, but we have to remember it was George Bush who signed a deal with the Iraqi government that our troops will be home by 2011. How come Bush didn’t do a press conference stating we had won the war and that he had signed this agreement as the proof? Coward.
Personally, we never should have gone into Iraq because this country had absolutely nothing to do with the attack on our nation on 9/11/01. Going into Iraq was the dream of Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George Bush, and the other PNACers who desperately wanted the oil, because whoever controls the oil controls the planet. Basically, it was a financial transaction for the Oil Maggots and their contractors played out live for all of us to see. Many of our soldiers and Iraqis died for this financial transaction and still are. How much money have we spent in Iraq since the first boot hit the ground? Almost a TRILLION dollars and by the time we leave Iraq, it could be close to $3 TRILLION. And what have we gotten back? Nothing. We have a new nation in Iraq that is becoming very chummy with Iran (you know….America’s ‘enemy’) and the American contractors who got their no-bid contracts did shoddy work to leave behind for the Iraqis. In other words, it’s embarrassing!
Last night on Rachel Maddow’s show, she brought up the fact that Blackwater has changed it’s name to “Xe” which apparently is pronounced as, “Zee”. While Maddow made fun of the change and pointed out how the religious right and other neocons are NOW renaming & redefining names/words in their lives to make themselves feel better, she also made the point that “Xe” doesn’t sound so ”law breaky at all” (LOL) and then rolled her eyes…
So why out of all the names they could have renamed their company to, why the hell did they chose “Xe”? Tah dah! I know why Blackwater changed their name to “Xe”! Go to Google and type in ‘xe’ or ‘Xe’ or ‘XE’ and tell me what you get. That’s right! You get close to 100,000,000 hits of nothing! Yep, ole Blackwater who wants to change it’s tarnished image has now made it so you’ll never find out what they’re doing in a million years and it will take you just as long to find an article written about them if you wanted to try!
Unfreakingbelievable. After 8 years of George Bush, apparently these assholes think Americans are still stupid. Well, just so the criminals know, we can most certainly type in, “innocent civilian killed iraq contractor” or “diplomat contractor” or something to that effect and will still be able to find ya!
And we all know ‘blackwater’ is actually another way of saying ‘oil’, now don’t we? Oh how the right wing nutcakes of the American Taliban think the rest of us are stupid! Nope. We’re not. We figured you assholes out a long time ago. Spit.
