The speaker for the undergrad class of 2006, however, was the one and only Condoleezza Rice. Many protested and some even quit over it. John Gibson at Fox News was even kind enough to write about it. I was shocked by it. I’m very passionate about social justice because of my Jesuit education, and I couldn’t believe they had invited one of the architects of the socially unjust Iraq war to speak at my school. I’m still angry about it.

Now they have Mukasey speaking to the law school, an AG with contempt for the rule of law. I know that high profile speakers bring a lot of attention to the school, but does Boston College want that to be associated with that kind of profile? They shoud have rescinded the invitation, but at least this is something.

Sorry troll, you are wrong on both points. Here’s the proof:

Asked whether they think waterboarding is a form of torture, more than two-thirds of respondents, or 69 percent, said yes; 29 percent said no.

how can Catholics go against the directives of their Pope and support torture and this war? Benedict has repeated time and again that the war in Iraq is morally wrong.

Catholics are quick to call abortion murder, yet overwhelmingly support capital punishment, which goes against Benedict’s pronouncements. Catholics are in favor of waterboarding. how would they have felt if Jesus had been waterboarded by the Romans.

and whatever happened to the doctrine of Papal infallibility? is your Pope wrong? or are YOU wrong. both of you cant be right.

Boston College is to be commended.

How about removing the “mission” part and replacing the whole concept with his position on enabling the shredding of our constitution.

As a law student, you would think that that mattered. But, apparently not.

Shame that.

Any college that would even let this scum bag soil their ground is not worth the powder to blow them to hell.

Bush/Cheney
Hague Trials ‘09

Perhaps Laurence Tribe or Gerry Spence, then you can give them the a letter in frame, a new car, the hope diamond, and know that your students heard the rite thing.

A recent list of cases presided over by the former Judge Mukasey:

Jose Padilla: He said Padilla, an American citizen, could be held as an enemy combatant (indefinitely), but was entitled to see his lawyer.

Larry Silverstein v. the insurance companies: Larry got richer when his World Trade Center got knocked down.

And, he reversed his own ruling in a case where plaintiffs had sued an Italian insurance company for damages for nonpayment of proceeds to beneficiaries of Holocaust victims, giving deference to the executive branch policy of voluntary resolution of Holocaust era policies.

No worries, he’ll get his medal…

No wonder the regressives hate academia. People who think are dangerous to their agenda.

The neo-cons hate anything that they can’t be part of and if they throw money at it or use neo-con ranking and the folks still don’t fold over they get even more pissy.

They always want control.

Real Conservatives IMHO on the other hand seem to know their place. course we haven’t seen to many of those around lately.

Anybody see a real conservative, please point one out.

The tone is Frank M’s, but this one is much more loquacious. Perhaps the performance artist behind Frank is creating a new “character” and we’re witnessing its birth.

This one is a parody, right?

Who is it? Frank M? Gin? I say Frank M.

The average Joe could not care less about waterboarding members of al-Qaeda, so let’s not lose focus. America’s Human Rights record remains unblemished. There are other fights to fight. This one’s just lame and only serves to embellish the image of progressives as weak-keed Casper Milqtoasts.

On a positive note, great wins by Hillary last night.

The “average Joe” being you, of course.

Unblemished? You must mean other than the syphlitic facial sores caused by Bushco’s hard-on for torture, dissapearences, and unjust war against a civilian population (how very Chilean of us, no?).

Milqtoasts? We know a punk and a bit(h like you when we see one. You freekin’ poorly disguised toll.

Unblemished?

The United States of America, the land of the free, has admitted to torturing people. This is inexcusable in the 21st Century. It doesn’t matter what they’re suspected of doing. We’ve violated international human rights law and turned ourselves into utter hypocrites.

The fight for human rights is never lame. It is at the heart of the progressive movement. It’s a fight for the very soul of our country. If we rfall so far that we regard torture as acceptable, then the United States of America is dead.

Which is why net neutrality is one of the mot important issues facing us today.

Among them are these famous intel no-nothings whose opinion I guess Nettles would discount- Valerie Plame, Joe Wilson, Coleen Rowley, Ray McGovern, Larry Johnson, & Col. Pat Lang:
