I'm fully in favor of exposing those in Congress and the Administration who supported torture, who failed to object when they should have, who used water-boarding to coerce captives to say things which were politically expedient and/or desirable for the drumbeat for war. I think those people who endorsed illegatlity should go to jail, no matter what their party.
And that makes me profoundly different, it is what makes most liberals profoundly different, from Republicans. Republicans want Pelosi investigated, are beating their chests and crying "foul" over her possible support of torture, even though they wholeheartedly support torturing people, would object with every fiber of their being to any Republican being investigated much less being held accountable for torture. They purely want the political "win" over Pelosi, a win on something, or an accusation of something they absolutely do not think was wrong.
And that is what is wrong, not Pelosi. They could care less what Pelosi actually does - they just want the investigation because it suits their purposes at the moment, to which I say, "I agree! Let the investigations commence!"
Fair is fair.
ReplyDeletePelosi should be investigated. Karl Rove Richard Armitage L. Paul Bremer Paul Wolfowitz Tom Delay Dick Armey Haley Barbour Dick Cheney George Walker Bush, all of them should be investigated, many of them ahead of Pelosi, given their part in the effort to perpetrate torture.
And who could imagine anyone in the US Intelligence Community lying to congress? Oh, wait, anyone recall Iran Contra? So lets check out how well the CIA has kept records, and how much of their information is verifiable, while we are at it.
Just a thought - Cheney is going to have a new book coming out soon. Could all of his speaking engagements been just thinly veiled self-promotion, so that he generates more book sales? Given the timing, and his past lack of communication, it is a reasonable question.
She's an embarrassment. So are three-quarters of congressional Republicans these days.
ReplyDeleteFor instance, did you hear Senator Inhofe's comments regarding "Europe" the other day? I put that word in parenthesis because I'm sure he's never been there in his life.
What a hick.
Oh, yeah, that's right--I'm being "elitist." That's so old and flabby a response that it's officially very pathetic, but I'm sure a lot of folks will say it so that they needn't think about...anything, really.
Pathetic.
Keep up the good work, Penigma.
