The Clowns of Torture

If you find yourself strapped to a gurney or appliance moving dolly and see this crew approaching, especially if Condi is outfittted in her thigh high black high heeled boots, you should probably hope that the morphine is just about to kick in real good. According to ABC News:

 

President George W. Bush's most senior advisers approved "enhanced interrogation techniques" of top al-Qaeda suspects by the Central Intelligence Agency

 

....../snip

 

ABC reported that the so-called "principals" discussed interrogation details in dozens of top-secret talks and meetings in the White House.

 

Then-national security adviser Condoleezza Rice chaired the meetings, which took place in the White House Situation Room and were typically attended by a select group of senior officials or their deputies, ABC said.

In addition to Rice, the principals at the time included Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Colin Powell, CIA Director George Tenet and Attorney General John Ashcroft, the report said.

 

Not surprising none of the "principals" could be reached for comment on these revelations. John Ashcroft of the lovely tenor voice so easily offended by Lady Justice's bare bosom was quoted by another official as saying at the time -

 

"Why are we talking about this in the White House? History will not judge this kindly."

 

No doggy biscuits for you today however Mr. Ashcroft. I'm sure you were fine with what was being proposed actually happening, but only concerned that by discussing it in the "White House" you had all perhaps lost "plausible deniability." But I'm of the impression you are a religious man, John, so in that case God will billet you in the lower reaches when that time comes. I hear torture is kinda the Soup de Jour, everyday, down there, if you catch my drift.

April Fool's Day

For the last eight years including today, the incumbent in the White House has had the honor of having his very own holiday. It may not be a statutory paid holiday, but it is a time we can reflect on the man it was named after and hopefull laugh a bit rather than the more appropriate gagging and crying. For the First Fool, well this is your day.

 

I wonder how often the executives over at CNN thank their lucky stars for the existence of Faux News. I mean if it wasn't for Faux, CNN would very likely be the worst, most condescending, most patronizing and in general the biggest chancre on what passes for media in the Land of Nod I mean Amerika. Only Faux can consistently outdo CNN at catering to the lowest common denominator while they guarantee to lower that denominator almost daily.

 

I guess it shouldn't be surpising that the comment board of the second dumbest channel would attract a somewhat less than intellectually stellar group of commenters. However some genius using the handle xxxxxxxxxx (Mod - name removed to protect the mentally challenged), which come to think of it almost sounds like a real name. Maybe I should look up her phone number and give her a call, just to remind her of the importance of remembering to breathe. Anyway, this is in serious contention for being the very, very, very BEST reason to NOT vote for Obama - ever! Are you ready? Here's the reason, not to vote for Obama!

(He even bowls like a girl. lol)

 

Remember, you read it here first, that is unless you are a mouth breather that reads the comments over at CNN.
