ONLINE ANTI-BUSH SCHOLASTIC RESEARCH: LISTING OF MAJOR ISSUES

R E M E M B E R:
The President of the USA is obligated to “preserve” the laws of this land.

Had George W. Bush ensured that laws concerning torture had been “preserved” and not shredded by him, I have faith that Mohammed al-]Qahtani would have stood trial.

And yet, a failure to be faithful to one’s Oath of office is an acceptable excuse to do nothing by Congress?

No one could have foreseen that torturing prisoners would lead to not being able to proscecute them.

Note: That is sarcasm. I actually seem to remember that argument being brought up a long, long time ago.

Exactly. It was indeed. Several legal scholars said torturing detainees would lead to letting dangerous people go because they would not be able to be prosecuted as it is obvious that information from torture would not be allowed into court. How many times will we do this two step dance.

Left tells the right dont do A because it will cause B

Right denigrates left, dismisses left questions our patriotism

Left turns out to be absolutly correct Right snivels and blames the left.

This dance is OLD. Time for the right to wake up and stop screwing up AMERICA.

Another thing we do know is that since the tortures of Abu Graib came to light – more people were recruited into committing “terrorist” acts and possibly as many as 1000 American troops have been killed because of torture.

Heckuva Job, Georgie!

Is this another line in the old Pete Seeger song?

BACON. It’s still great.

so is ice cream but thanks to bush they both now cost too much.

1) It was bad enough that a loyal Bushie called it torture / coerced confession ?

Must have been pretty bad.

2) The Bushie says we can’t prosecute and has blocked efforts to refile ?

Must have been pretty bad.

3) So now we have a guy that at least Bush thinks is a main person plotting 9/11. We can’t prosecute them. We can’t hold them indefinitely without filing charges and having a trial. So as anyone knows who watches CSI and “24″ when you goof up on their rights you have to release them.

Must have been pretty bad.

I don’t think it would take a Clarence Darrow to make the link between war crimes and treason, though I believe Bushco is more guilty of sedition.

Trolls, here is your chance; Is there one thing the Cheney/Bush regime did not totally make a mess of? Just one thing!

I hope I’m never perceived as a troll, but here goes:

BACON. It’s still great.

So, the question remians — can the president pardon someone for something that has not been brought before a court in an official accusation? It is highly illogical, and an admission of guilt, and an admission by the president that he was accessory to the action (by knowing of it and ignoring it, and then pardoning it). The safety net of pardons is getting smaller.

Where have all the good journalists gone?

So thier desire to torture has undermined their ability to prosecute……who would ever have thought that might be a problem?

The Bushies knew this would be a problem. That’s why they had John Yoo and his friends try to redefine torture. When this didn’t work, they tried to invent a new legal system bypassed the question of torture.

This was all very deliberate, and very sick and twisted.

The saddest part is this logic isn’t just immoral, its stupid.
