Cheney and the Iraq-Torture Link

by Joe Conason

Defending their record in office these past eight years, figures from the last administration seem especially touchy on the subject of torture. Led by the former vice president, Dick Cheney, they have argued that there was no torture, preferring more vague and delicate terms such as "enhanced interrogation" or simply "the program."

Obama's speech was a powerful speech! If you were a Muslim terrorist. Those poor, unfortunate detainee terrorists at Gitmo you and Obama protect, actually stood up over their prayer rugs and gave "Him" a "standing ovation." I always love it when Obama "blames" the United States for "Muslim" terrorists; and then, apologizes immediately (once again) for all us arrogant, infidel, Americans. Mr. Conason, you are nothing more than an "extension" of the drive-by media, and a terrorist enabler through your blind-sided view on reporting Obama's incompetance, and his flawed view on national security issues and measures. Personally, I believe any/all terorrists should be beaten, tortured, killed, and buried. Then, they should be dug up, beaten, tortured, killed, and buried again! Look at the polls - Americans couldn't give a rat's ass flying Fuck less about Muslim terrorists! You are not only "blinded" by the truth of what is out there, post 9/11; you refuse to believe it, you deny it, you just don't recognize it, or you don't posess the good sense and knowledge to see what is coming. My opinion of your editorial & Obama as President, can be summed up in the liberal "Al Gore - Green Environmental terminology, which I'm quite sure you and the President strive for, can relate to, and understand: You both are: "Two steps above plant life."
