Attorney General Probes Torture



At last the Obama administration is looking into claims of torture by the CIA under the Bush/Cheney rule. After convicting low level Sargents, Privates, and Corporals it is time to go after the main criminals responsible for this idiotic and illegal policy. We have American prisoners in Iraq and Afganistan who will probably be tortured because Muslim prisoners are routinely tortured here.

It should come as no surprise that the same government that condoned slavery, genocide, and disenfranchisement for 400 years would turn to torture the first opportunity that presented itself. After all these aren't white people. They're Arabs. Muslims, not Christians. We have every right to torture them. They aren't even covered by the Geneva convention.

Hold these assholes accountable! George Tenet, Donald Rumsfield, Dick Cheney, Condelezza Rice, and George Bush should be in jail this very minute while investigations take place. Their list of crimes is certainly long enough. They leaked the name of a CIA agent to the press. They wiretapped thousands of American citizens illegally. They rendered individuals to foreign countries without charge to be tortured. They lied about weapons of mass destruction. Invaded a coutry that posed no threat resulting in the loss of thousands of American lives. Murdered thousands of Iraqis by bombing schools, hospitals and mosques. Tortured prisoners at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib.

Plaxico Burress shot himself in the ass and has to do two years in prison. Bill Clinton got a blowjob and lied about it and was almost impeached. Where is the justice?

Let Eric Holder off the chain. Appoint a special prosecutor like Ken Starr who will look for crimes even where they don't exist. Fully investigate Blackwater, Haliburton, and Cheney's role in no bid contracts. Make the Republicans run for their lives! It is not a question of politics. It is a question of justice.

Without justice there can be no democracy.
