The joke is that they expect us to trust them. There would be less damage to our country, if all the show trials aided by torture were thrown out. We can survive as a nation without punishing these people further (repugnant though that thought may be, in regard to those who have committed actual crimes). But we cannot survive as a nation without the rule of law. There was a time when I thought that all we could hope for, after January 2009, would be full-really full--disclosure of all that went on. Simply appoint someone in charge of FOIA requests who would suppress NOTHING, simply because it would shine a light on the Bush Administration reign of crime. I thought that would be the best, because we as a nation weren't ready to see our President and his men on trial. Not on trial for war crimes. We weren't ready for that. I no longer think that. Bring everything into the open, and then let the rule of Law take its course--all the way to the Hague. It hurts to say it. But it must be done. [By the way--this was buried as a tiny page two article in the Washington Post. Will it get the attention it deserves?

There was a time when I thought that all we could hope for, after January 2009, would be full-really full–disclosure of all that went on. Simply appoint someone in charge of FOIA requests who would suppress NOTHING, simply because it would shine a light on the Bush Administration reign of crime. I thought that would be the best, because we as a nation weren’t ready to see our President and his men on trial. Not on trial for war crimes. We weren’t ready for that.

I no longer think that. Bring everything into the open, and then let the rule of Law take its course–all the way to the Hague. It hurts to say it. But it must be done.

We do share the blame and responsibility. Though, speaking only for myself, I never would have believed a U.S. administration would plummet to these depths. I think America is waking up, but, the question remains; will our votes be enough? There are many strengths to our system but it's never faced the challenge of such an infestation. On good days I think we're up to the challenge. But, it's gonna take a long time and it's gonna hurt in ways we can't anticipate. As much as it pains me, I can foresee a possible future where a mob has to drag "President for Life" Cheney out of his "undisclosed location". 7 years ago I would have given up on a movie with such a ridiculous premise.

As some want to place the blame on Congress or the Media it's Americans who are just as responsible. The World now sees America allows torture, rape, cover up of crimes and lies. To move forward we have to face what we have done and allowed to be done by our Government. To start we need to look at who we have to Lead and each one of the State representatives we put in office. America is We the People and it's time to take our country back. We will have alot of work ahead after this 7 year crime wave. We allowed this to happen.
