Here's Another Shocker For the Clueless: Dick Cheney Lied to Us

There is a lengthy article in today's WaPo about how the CIA tortured Abu Zubaida and all he told them was stuff he made up to get them to stop torturing him. Contrary to the lies of Dick Cheney and George Bush (both of whom may be arrested some fine day), there were no plots disrupted, no terrorist attacks averted.

You might remember the Summer of 2004, when the DBP was changing the color of the Stoplight of Death from yellow to orange and back again on a weekly basis. There were security sweeps and increased police patrols. Millions of dollars were spent on those clusterfucks. And it was all based on information given by a torture victim who was making shit up.

Sooner or later, the Administration of War Criminals will be called to account for their crimes. Maybe not all of them, but some of them will most certainly live to hear a cell door slam shut behind them.

  2. I like Obama a lot and I appreciate his even temperament, but in this instance I wish he'd say, "Like it or not, war crimes were likely committed by the past administration, and I have instructed the Justice Department to launch a full scale investigation."

  3. Second Karen Zipdrive, but my best hope right now is that Bush officials get locked up in the confines of the US. If any of them want an international vacation, I think they have at best a couple of months' opportunity. But I'm not optimistic that, barring an ill-advised trip, any of them will actually face jail... how ever richly deserved it may be.
