&quot;Daddy-O, you can parse it however you want.

&quot;If America&#039;s government ordered sodomizing of children in custody, the world will see us as a shell of our former moral self.&quot;

Yes, it is parsing. But words mean something. 

I really don&#039;t think the world will see an entire country guilty where an elite illegal coup had taken place. Most of the rest of the world see Bush &amp; CO as the criminals--not the entire nation. I&#039;ll be a larger percentage of Europeans know how close the 2004 election was than percentage of Americans...because they&#039;re paying attention. 

Eh. Thanks for the replies, dude, and if we disagree, that&#039;s cool with me.</description>

&quot;For proof, if we are not to blame why are we, as a nation, debating whether or not torture is acceptable?&quot;

That proves nothing. We are debating this odious subject only because sadists governed us for eight long years. 

There was NOTHING you or I could have done to stop Bush. Not a  d*mn thing, man. He stole and murdered and lied his way through history--and was asleep at the wheel the entire time. That&#039;s quite an accomplishment, when you think about it. 

No. If we&#039;re guilty, then why aren&#039;t we in jail? If I were guilty like these evil souls, I don&#039;t think I could live with myself. And some folks, like one of the air traffic controllers who made a mistake on 9-11, go ahead and end their lives over it. 

No. It&#039;s a matter of sloppy writing, using the royal &#039;we&#039; instead of keeping the focus on the actual criminals. Sloppy writing, not mass guilt.</description>

		<description>OS Says:

How&#039;s that boot leather taste?
___________

I dunno... how&#039;s this shoe taste?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_Foster

Vincent Walker Foster, Jr. (January 15, 1945 - July 20, 1993) was a Deputy White House Counsel during the first term of President Bill Clinton, and also a law partner and friend of Hillary Rodham Clinton. His death was ruled a suicide by multiple official investigations, but remains a subject of interest among conspiracy theorists.
______________

There have been three official investigations into Foster&#039;s death, all of which concluded that he committed suicide.[17]

The first was by the United States Park Police in 1993, in whose jurisdiction the original investigation fell. Due to Foster&#039;s position in the White House, the Federal Bureau of Investigation assisted in the investigation. Investigations by a coroner and Independent Counsel Robert B. Fiske, in a 58-page report released in 1994, also concluded that Foster had committed suicide.[12]

Conspiracy theories of a cover-up still persisted. After a three-year investigation, Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth Starr[18][19] released a report in 1997 also concluding that the death was a suicide.[12]
In addition, two investigations by the U.S. Congress found that Foster committed suicide.[12]

I see you&#039;re wearing your tin-foil hat today...

And just out of curiosity, what would any of that have to do w/ BotchCo&#039;s torture  schemes?  Smoke screen much?</description>
