Would not knowing about about this be the same as her comment “how could anyone imagine someone flying into buildings?”

This after they had a scenerio on exactly this? After being alerted to an upcoming attack? After the FBI tried to alert the WH that Saudis were learning how to take off but didn’t need to know how to land?

And how come we forget that 15 of the hi jackers were Saudis?

A sure fire way for the U.S.A to regain some moral standing in the world,would be to hand over Bush and others in 2010 to those wishing to try them for war crimes.

Powell remarked admiringly, as they emerged, that Rice dressed down the presidentâ€™s lawyer

And walked out of the room with a “kick me” sign on her back…

And Ms. Rice, being of sound, moral, holier-than-thou, republican character, did the right thing – she ignored it like she has ignored all the other crap that spewed out of this most corrupt, most evil administration.

Condi is out of her league. First she was a stooge for big oil and now would be dictator Bush.

Considering the fact that they don’t have supermajorities in either house of congress, and the stated goal of the repub party is to obstruct as much as they can, what would you suggest?

Read John Dean’s book “Conservatives Without Conscience”, he speaks of authoritarianism and its’ fallout. Basically, that most people follow the pack because the leader says so.

Thursday’s devastating New York Times expose of the Bush administration’s secret endorsement of torture by the CIA only served to confirm the worst what most Americans already suspected. First, Alberto Gonzales lied to Congress regarding the administration’s policy on torture of detainees during his 2005 confirmation hearings. Second, President Bush’s December 2005 signing statement accompanying the Detainee Treatment Act was expressly designed to exempt the lawbreaking he had already approved.

For the details, see:

The question has often been asked as to why Hitler, Il Duce, Stalin and other fascist leaders were never stopped prior to the destruction of the liberty of their citizens and their viability as anything other than a rogue state to be defeated by the free world.

The answer is blowing in the wind. We are a civilized people dedicated to the rule of law. We are a peaceful people who do not want to rise up and challenge the government. We are a superior people who could never allow the United States to become a criminal government.

We need a revolution. We need to change the leadership in this country. My fear is that it will not happen peacefully but only by force. If this violent state is in our future, we will only have ourselves and a weak Democratic party to blame.

Note, I do not blame the Republicans. They are beyond blame. They are the enemy that must be defeated. They are international criminals. They are traitors to our way of life.

Here is an interesting quote. Take it for what you will.

A quotation from Sun Tzu’s Art of War with commentary:

“The consummate leader cultivates the moral law, and strictly adheres to method and discipline; thus it is in his power to control success.”

“There is a very strong temptation…for government forces to act outside the law, the excuses being that the processes of law are too cumbersome, that the normal
safeguards in the law for the individual are not designed for an insurgency and that a terrorist deserves to be treated as an outlaw anyway. Not only is this morally
wrong, but, over a period, it will create more practical difficulties for a government than it solves. A government which does not act in accordance with the law
forfeits the right to be called a government and cannot expect its people to obey the law. Functioning in accordance with the law is a very small price to pay in
return for the advantage of being the government.

Sir Robert Grainer Ker Thompson, “Defeating Communist Insurgency: Experiences from Malaya and Vietnam” (1966)

What if she did? What will Congress do about it? Anything? Anyone? Or will we just have another round of oversight investigations, issue a report (based on whatever W and his DOJ voluntarily hand over) and call it “accountability.”

I’m an American. And I’m goddamn tired of hearing more and more and more each day about what has been going on, without any consequences, for years. This is shameful. And what exactly has it got us?

So, Dems, what the hell are y’all planning on doing about it? WHEN?
