Comments on: FDL Late Nite: The Inquisition, What a Show! http://firedoglake.com/2006/07/10/fdl-late-nite-the-inquisition-what-a-show/ Firedoglake weblog Thu, 16 Feb 2012 09:55:33 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Julia http://firedoglake.com/2006/07/10/fdl-late-nite-the-inquisition-what-a-show/#comment-184097 Julia Tue, 11 Jul 2006 16:00:44 +0000 http://www.firedoglake.com/2006/07/10/fdl-late-nite-the-inquisition-what-a-show/#comment-184097 <p>I think Mel Brooks would make John Ashcroft’s “the eagle soared” into a show stopper. I see the use of military props, fallic symbols, and the required chorus line in stelletto heels. I’m sure he’d replicate the abu graib torture costumes as well as babes strutting with dogs like Ann Miller in Easter Parade. Nuns waterboarding would be a must. And let’s not forget the flags. Never forget the flags.</p> I think Mel Brooks would make John Ashcroft’s “the eagle soared” into a show stopper.

suspect Mark from Ireland has Hague procedural answers on one of his two sites

Pachacutec,

my faith as always is with the American people – they have come around and seen the light – on all but how fundamentally destructive these thugs have been with our way of governing – my only concern is the lag time – will it be too long ? The cycletime of seeing it here and hearing it as CW has shortened dramatically in the last 12 months – but will it be soon enough to stop them from removing the final lynchpins – it is truly my most fervent prayer

B Starr on CNN: DoD memo says ALL detainess will now get Art. 3 Geneva protections

The fact that this has to be spelled out for the government is horrific. When did we get to be the Bad Guy? I guess that’s for future historians, researching our crumbling empire.
