The Inquisition, Part II

by

More evidence of the moral repugnancy of the Bush administration and Dick Cheney. Nobody should imagine that these men, elected by the people, were not responsible. The torture program was not about information, but about sadism. Report Shows Tight C.I.A. Control on Interrogations – NYTimes.com.

Not only did it not make you safer, it made you (all of us) complicit. How about we open the torture program to the light of day? Let’s uncover all the grim details and the bodies and evaluate. If it was as successful and moral as its proponents claim, then they have nothing to fear, do they?

Dick Cheney, Rogue VP?

The Progressive puts it well. Bring on justice; let’s investigate, roll the dice, and see where things land. If we as a society can do this honestly (fat chance), I think that the former vice president would land in jail. Does the trail lead to the former president? That is an interesting question; I think that Cheney shielded him, playing bad cop.

Boy, I hope that I’m alive and kicking when the documents of the Bush/Cheney administration see the light of day. Incidentally, open archives (esp. Presidential Archives) are important in free societies.
