And that’s the worst part. Unless there is some accountability for the treason there will be nothing to stop the next despicable petty fratboy from repeating history.

Look at Ollie North. He is a criminal, but he is a hero to the right wing scum.

Bush and the Boyz should all be thrown in jail until the last one dies. And they should be forced to acer batelw80l8h battery,acer batelw80l8 battery live with the rotting corpses of the first ones to die as a reminder of the death and filth they were responsible for.

Yoo’s legal opinions are just that: opinions, and not good ones. The only “legal cover” they give is to people who pretend that they give valid legal cover, i.e. Bushco, the MSM, and the loyal opposition, the Dems, who will keep their eyes and ears closed for as long as it takes for this criminal conspiracy to go away. It’s up to us to see that these people are brought to justice, because our current government of elites and aristocrats will never do so.

The (current) maladministration consigliere says that he will not prosecute because these people were acting in “good faith” reliance on an “OLC opinion”.

You’ll have to wait until 2009 when we sweep the psychopaths out of the executive. But Dubya will probably pardon everyone before leaving office….

Cheers,

At the very least, since the maladministration destroyed the tapes, maybe the folks that were asking for the tapes can subpoena Addington and Gonzales instead….

Cheers,

Great, so now we get the ideas for governing people from TV dramas and movies. So, the strategy for the Iraq invasion was taken directly from SpongeBob Squarepants, probably.

BTW, in 24 some USA cities end due to an atomic blast. Not a great strategy to follow, either.

Not prosecuting the Bushists is criminal negligence.

So,
What makes any of this legal and correct?
Why no action from “proper” authorities?
Whatever “proper” means now days…

“…no country can be well governed unless its citizens as a body keep religiously before their minds that they are the guardians of the law and that the law officers are only the machinery for its execution, nothing more.”
Mark Twain – The Gilded Age

There are reasons to hope (FISA, polls, response to the ABC debate, the internet vs. the MSM, youtube etc…) just as there are reasons to despair (no impeachment yet, stolen elections, torture, halliburton,…… etc……. etc….etc….etc…etc…etc…)

ok there are far more reasons to despair but tides might be turning.

Oh, I agree completely on this point..my only question is, what is really and truly going on in Yoo’s mind. If he really and truly beleives that his advice is in accordance with the law and the constitution..well…I do feel very ambigious about accusing him of being a criminal..delusional, yes, ignorant yes…criminal..im not entirely sure..

but if, in his mind, he’s really just saying “I know this is illegal, how can I make something up to say its legal”..then yes, throw him away, he’s knowingly aiding and abetting criminal activity in that case…

> Yoo needs to be marched
> in lockstep right into prison

I’m ethically struggling with this…I think its really, really important that lawyers of all political persuasions be able to give honest legal opinions, even if that advice doesnt necessarily cohere with mainstream legal discourse.

I have no problem whatsoever. When a lawyer is a public servant they have a duty to their country which supersedes the legal tenet of “freedom to advise” an individual client.

And, when that client is the President of the United States, they have a solemn responsibility to advise against policy which violates law. Their primary reason for existence is, in fact, to tell a President the limits of power. So far as I can tell Yoo failed on all counts.

I’m ethically struggling with this…I think its really, really important that lawyers of all political persuasions be able to give honest legal opinions, even if that advice doesnt necessarily cohere with mainstream legal discourse..however, i do question whether legal advice can be so delusional and detached from reality that it can become intentionally maliscous advice on how to commit a crime…Yoo’s philosophy can be summed up in a nutshell as “the president can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, as long as he asserts ‘we are at war’”..basically, yoo sees the president at deciding the limits of his own power, which cannot, by any reasonable person, be construed to be anything but the exact equivalent of absolute tyranny..

Please hop a plane overseas you sickos, hope you get what you deserve.

Eight long years ago a citizen of any nation on this planet could make an appeal, to the reputation of the United States on human rights issues, and could expect a fair hearing on cases of merit. The United States could raise human rights issues before the U.N. and expect quick action if not results. Other nations turned to us as mediators of dispute.

Eight short years ago the good people of Planet Earth didn’t live in fear that the United States might drop a bomb on their apartment in a mad quest to kill suspected terrorists.

Now? We hold foreign nationals, incommunicado and without charge, in facilities far from the eyes of independent regulators. We occupy a sovereign nation with a force of exhausted U.S. military personal and a shadowy mix of mercenaries. We torture prisoners and we drop bombs on apartments in a mad quest to kill suspected terrorists.

Even if the guilty are punished the innocents will pay for the crimes of Bushco. That fills me with great sadness and shame. And it was all for nothing but greed, revenge and Islamophobia. The Bush administration, from top to bottom, will exist as a blight on our nation’s conscience long after the babes of Today are grandparents.

As if the mountains of disgraceful acts by this horseshit administration isn’t enough , you can now add definite evidence tampering to it …………..
