why not? We've already got the Torture Document from the Obama administration – it's called the "Stimulus Plan."
and let's have a tea party in protest of the illegal torture methods, despite Bush's christian morals
This article brings to mind, "Why is Obama still campaigning? What is the left hand doing while the right hand shows us this...??
So many Obama supporters are regretful. At the Orlando Tea Party I personally talked to 66 people out of a crowd of a couple thousand ...that were former Obama supporters....
the grip is slipping...like most celebrities...his star is fading fast!
prosecute them!
"U.S. does not torture...." George W. Bush, Oct 2007
I guess, if ya can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. She's pathetic. Yeah, we really need politicians who run away and hide. We have enough of those already.
I am anxious to see them. I am teaching a class and want to inform my students so they understand the past and don't repeat it.
Obama is setting a new precedent by trying to smear a prior presidency by releasing documents that will damaging to the reputation of our nation. It's a radical move in the tradition of Saul Alinsky's philosophy. This kind of political activism is damaging to the entire nation, not just Bush. When this is done to Obama in a few years, how will his supporters react?
Good. Of course there have been 8 years to delete, censor, and/or destroy anything incriminating.
Uh oh
Good, let's shed some light on America's dark past during the last 8 years.
Wasn't 8 years of Bush torture enough? Have a nice day!
Great call Obama Administraton. Now let's see those memos (and have the appropriate actions taken)
The flag of democracy flies at half mast.
We will never regain our proper status in the world until or unless the Bush administration is brought to justice. Our silence is consent to war crimes.
LET JUSTICE BE DONE OR THE HEAVENS WILL FALL
Sounds like a compromise to me. Rather than totally keep everything silent, as the Republicans wanted, they will release some memos and not prosecute the CIA officials who performed the torture. I'm a little iffy on this, because I'm not sure we should offer blanket immunity to those who tortured. The bigger issue, however, is that we prosecute those who AUTHORIZED the torture. Just going after the torturer is a lot like going after the drug user or the corner dealer and letting the kingpin get away.
Oh wait, I have a suggestion before you do that, how about we here in Texas, send you gov Perry for waterboarding, then please, send him to gitmo ! THANKS
Maybe we do not prosecute them, but let's at least waterboard them to encourage their desire to allocute to their past activities.
Bout time, now lets see what those retards were up to...
good...more transparency...keep it coming...
next, prosecution...how can we seriously break things like the geneva conventions without suffering any consequences?... maybe this is the the "arrogance" that the right wing complains we DON'T have...or at the least the arrogance we shouldn't admit we have...
i can't wait until republicans die off...like dinosaurs...just need a big comet to hit south of the mason-dixon line and we'll be good to go...
Bet all you Code Pink, lib, anti-Bush freaks are poppin a blood vessel now, since Obama won't sic the lawyer dogs on the CIA for doing their job to keep the US safe.
Bet you'll have to take an extra turn or two in the bong to help you cope.
Finally the smoking gun!!
Indeed a dark unforgettable and unforgivable Republican chapter in the history of the United States.
"Administration to release torture documents from Bush era"
"Torture" documents???
Wow, can you say "loaded" headline much?
OK-Don't prosecute the CIA-they were just following orders thrown down by higher authority-Bush,Cheney, Rumsfeld Prosecute them
CNN Post this
And in 4 years the new administration can release Obamas memos on terror interrogations. Believe me there will be plenty.
