Oh THANK YOU 707!!! perfect. I shall chuckle through the day instead of ranting.

I can’t stand to listen to those clowns, and I was trying to summon the strength to listen to the clip. Now I shant, for it is thus, as you say it. Done. Set aside to mold per usual.

Bravo to you, and deep thanks, heh heh. ;->

Peggy, Shouldn’t Newt Gingrich and republicans have left that mysterious stain on that dress affiliated with Clinton to the secret presidential scrolls. Did we really have to go through that Peggy?

And Peggy, I can call you Peggy can’t I?

Do you really feel better with out of sight out of mind?

After all, it is realy harmless to make a suspect talk about something you are not so sure he knows anything about. By finding their 5 year old child and taking a hammer to his testicles in front of the suspect you want information from that your not quite certain he has.

No of this is really required citizenship to address on the moral side of what our Gov’t leaders do in our name when they tell us they are not torturing. When accused. And as long as it is not in the citizens public eye it is fine. That a lawyer down mid way in the justice Dept can write laws this nation is supposed to abide by?

Really, Mrs Noonan?

Interesting how the argument of “deterrence” does not apply here.

Deterrence for nuclear war. Death penalty deterrence. But not torture.

These people love them some “deterrence.” Hmph.

We would do well to eliminate the mysteries that Noonan and her ilk would offer us. The mystery the villagers do provide this country that we would do well to consider and act upon is this: after promoting so much bias, willful ignorance, deception, mis-representation, and hubris so that so ill serve a functioning democracy, why does anyone accord them a platform for attention?
This mystery, like all mysteries, might be resolved with a simple acknowledgment of the truth. The villagers have given us more than enough evidence…

Doesn’t their Bible say something about this.

John 8:32 “And you will know truth and the truth shall set you free.”

Guess their faith only applies when convenient.

George Will and Peggy Noonan are a waste of perfectly good molecules.
