    • Justice Official Defends Rough CIA Interrogations

      Posted by okami from Washington Post

      The Bush administration allowed CIA interrogators to use tactics that were "quite distressing, uncomfortable, even frightening," as long as they did not cause enough severe and lasting pain to constitute illegal torture, a senior Justice Department official said last week.

    If Korean civilians are murdered in a forest and no one hears them fall, is it really a massacre?

    Air America Radio Host Randi Rhodes Suspended for Calling Clinton and Ferraro "Whores"

    Meanwhile, Hillary’s camp praises Fox for the most ‘balanced’ news coverage, and for a ton of supposedly-democratic Hillaryites, no alarm bells are sounded. This whole cycle has gone right out of hand with the absurd disconnections from reality and unnecessarily puffed up emotions.

    I will say I was disgusted to see Ferraro on Fox News again today. No intelligent politician – nor any democrat should spend a second on that set.

    Campus shooters used same gun dealer - UPI.com

    While I am not a supposed “liberal”, (whatever that is implied to mean these days, seems more like invective in today’s modern parlance) questioning the bravery or willingness to fight and kill perfect strangers over an theological or political ideology is not necessary to this discussion nor warranted. The U.S. has a traditionally violent gun culture with many advocates suggesting that to not want a gun in the hands of anyone, (well actually, that varies depending on who you may speak to. Many pro-gun folks I’ve personally encountered are also affiliated with historically aggressive White power organisations) is akin to cowardice. And to imply that the bravery you speak of is responsible for the United States, you’ve just proved by point. Very few but the most indoctrinated Aboriginal Americans and American Africans would call the groundwork applied to build the U.S. anything other than what it was and is, genocide. To deny this reality would be like denying Andrew Jackson ever held office. Cuba, Puerto Rico, Iraq, Iran, Columbia, Nicaragua, Kosovo, and the Filipinos who still struggle to expose American atrocities during the Philippine-American War of domination. The national myth may support your views, but factual colonialist American history documents a very different paradigm.
