    • Top Bush aides directed torture from the White House

      Posted by Sandyenglish

      Speaking to the WSWS, Francis Boyle, a professor of international law and human rights at the University of Illinois, said, "Clearly this was criminal activity at the time they committed it. At the very least, it violated the Geneva Conventions, the Convention Against Torture, the War Crimes Act, and the federal anti-torture statutes. Clearly these would be impeachable offenses."

      Is that really a naked woman in Dick Cheney's sunglasses?

      Posted by Jeff from Mcclatchydc

      Since Wednesday, the blogosphere has been atwitter over a photograph on the White House Web site of Cheney with a caption that said he was fly-fishing on the Snake River in Idaho. Apparently, some people think Cheney's hand looks like a naked woman. Difficult for me to parse the psychology behind this!

      Top Bush aides approved interrogation tactics: report

      Posted by Jeff from Rawstory

      "Highly placed sources said a handful of top advisers signed off on how the CIA would interrogate top al Qaeda suspects -- whether they would be slapped, pushed, deprived of sleep or subjected to simulated drowning, called waterboarding," ABC reported. War crimes trials in the future?

    Bush claims executive privilege on CIA leak

    The approval of Mukasey’s appointment was another act of doubling down by the Democrats in Congress. There were warning signs about Mukasey – but the Dems approved the appointment because they were saving the real battle for November.

    Iran Top Threat To Iraq, U.S. Says

    I can almost at this point garuantee that the sabre rattling will spill over into a declaration of war some time around Fall, at which point the administration will insist that the only group capable of dealing with the (manufactured) threat are, naturally, the GOP.

    Anyone not voting for McCain will be branded a terrorist sympathizer, and the U.S. will wind up with either McCain at the helm or a seriously handicapped democrat, because, face it, when the xenophobic part of the average North American’s conscience is stimulated, it tends to come out in full force and steamroll any chance of cooler heads (diplomacy) prevailing.

    I do hope I’m just being wildly cynical, though.

    Dick Cheney Inc. Micromanaged and Orchestrated Torture Interrogations | BuzzFlash.org

    tiger-I agree totally, but if our elected reps in D.C. won’t move to impeach over a treasonous act such as outing a CIA operative, this latest revelation will wind up being swept aside by the corporate media for more up-to-the-minute report on "American Idol". Sad, isn’t it?-watching what once was considered the greatest country on the face of the planet; sink to the depth of a local banana republic. Hey cheer up, can’t wait til next weeks revelation of corruption within this Bush Cabal reaches the light of day!!!!!!

    I think we should waterboard all the "principals" until they confess.
