Why do you think Pelosi won’t allow impeachment to come up in the house? They are all scared of ending up imprisoned and their assets seized with no legal recourse to free themselves.

I watched Townsend on CNN and was just appalled by her indifference to what she was actually describing, i.e. torture.

Remember the brouhaha over Hillary, the painstaking analyses of inches and angles? A woman trying to address serious issues in a responsible way was hit by a trivilization campaign over a wardrobe decision.

A woman turning and twisting, using absurdities to defend the indefensible is treated with deference. If the Left and the “liberal” press were truly as deranged as the Right constantly proclaims, you’d be seeing all kinds of stories about Perino’s fashion sense and speculation she’s deliberately trying to distract the press.

One could speculate that the Bush administration is hiding behind a young woman hoping that aggressive press questions can be portrayed as an assault – should reporters ever actually ask them.

I repeat,
When attorneys violate ethical and disciplinary rules in my state, they are investigated and disciplined. What is the sanction for government attorneys who sign off on legal opinions that have no legal foundation, yet consequences far beyond any that are imaginable for most lawyers? What say ye Messrs. David Addington (Counsel to the Vice President), Mr. John Yoo (formerly OLC, now dispensing legal education at Boalt Hall), and Jay Bybee (formerly OLC, now Justice, 9th Circuit).
In the past our nation has erected monuments memorializing great men and events in our nation’s history. The debacle in Iraq and the breathtaking usurpation of power by the Bush administration as enabled and given cover by these counselors is something deserving of memorializing too; “Never pass this way again!”

I would be curious to learn how the American Bar Association and attorneys generally would respond to your question.

Professional psychologists might be feeling a wee mite uncomfortable with the decision of their national ’society’, as well they should. Any ‘justification’ for participating in torture ’sessions’ rings very hollow. It were better to stand against the practice(?) of torture altogether (all, together), than to pretend to keep it within ‘bounds.’

I hear “Gossip Girl”s getting good ratings and hey, “America’s Next Top Model” has some lovely contestants this time ’round.

I don’t wanna think about torture. That’s a downer! It’s only brown people & furriners anyway, & a few might be terr’ists.

Nancy & the Demos say impeachment’s off the table ‘coz all they care about is winning the next election. At that pt., as Clinton I (wanna bet we’ll get a Clinton II– that’s what the SCM (State Controlled Media I’ve decided is more accurate than MSM) wants anyhow) did w/ GB I, the crimes of GWB will be slept under the carpet to be forgotten.

“i got back a canned email from my Rep John Tierney which said he thought impeachment would tie up the country and nothing would get done” …

That policy may have been good enough 6 months or a year ago, but today things have not become more normal with legal behavior from all around. Things have gotten worse and worse and the public is learning more and more and we don’t like what we see.

Congress might’ve been elected as much to be rid of immoral Republicans as it was to end the war in Iraq, but things have come to light since then.

How can we look at the picture of abu Ghraib and then hear of this ’secret AG opinion’ authorizing it and not respond? That wouldn’t be American!

No, it’s time to set proceedings into motion — time to investigate towards impeaching and removing Cheney, so we can then get on to Bush.

Anything less and we have to consider America a failure.

WE have to hold BushCo responsible, how else can we regain the respect of the world?!

or have respect for ourselves.

If we don’t “America” is done…toast.

Ms Perino in her doublespeak parsing way is so young to be such a tool for the evil elders. She should repent as she’ll never work again in DC once the democrats get in town for good.
