by Lee Stranahan

I got a call last evening from Moveon and about 15 hours later they got it uploaded. Written by MoveOn, the rest by me.

    I thought that sounded like you. I signed the petition.

  • Lee Stranahan

    I thought a female VO would work better but at about 4:30 in morning they decided to go for more gravitas…

    My voice always has the most gravitas at about 4:30 a.m.

    Damn, Lee. What’d you do, gargle gravel to get your voice that way?O/T: There’s breaking news this hour that the CFO of Freddie Mac has committed suicide. Wingnut comparisons to Vince Foster in 5,4,3,2,1…

    Thank you, Lee. This is on so many sites now that I imagine it is getting a lot of response. I signed earlier, too. Here is what I wrote:Without the rule of law we are nothing. We must investigate the torture and prosecute those who broke the law. There is no way that we as a country can move forward with this albatross around our necks. We have to do what we know to be right by holding criminals accountable or we share the shame of the authorities who implemented a torture program.

    Shit, the real “Albatross” will now be around the necks of the people who’s job it is to collect important (Life Saving) information. (Let’s follow the Geneva Convention for a bunch of un-ricipricating, un-reformable, evil, throat cutting Terrorists.)Now, how does the International Community, and the American Government deal with people who clearly have no respect for Human Life?This particiular “Witch Hunt”, is nothing more than politics, very dangerous Politics. Not, only are the Extremist, Islamic Fundamentalists laughing at us, they’re actually taking over another country while we investigate, and eventually prosecute ourselves according to the rule of law.Waterboarding?……..don’t the Navy Seals, and the Delta Force both use the technique to Train our own troops to resist enemy interragation?

    No, Titan, it’s called Protecting the Constitution, something some of us believes is more important than political expediency.You don’t have to like it, but as a citizen of this country you have a duty, an obligation, to protect it.If not, it will no longer protect any of us…

  • GItheJOE

    Titan,I don’t want a witch hunt. I just want a fake trail with the threat of jail time placed at the feet of the people responsible for the legal opinion. I can promise you that nothing will come out of this.As for the Islamic extremists, if you are supporting torture you need to be careful throwing around the term extremist.

  • Titan

    Protecting the “Constitution” of the UNITED STATES?LOL!!! Ha!Ha!Ha!I haven’t had a “Belly Laugh” like this one in a long time.

  • jackcrow2001

    Hrmmmm….TitanI respectfully disagree with you on, well probably every level. I’ve been through SERE (twice sadly)and Advanced SERE training. Some of it is pretty hard scary stuff, but I knew the entire time that it was training, and barring an accidental injury (hence the twice) painful bruising, embarrasment, mental and emotional pressure, were all I had to fear.Bottom line on torture. If I did something wrong, my Mom could care less what the bad kids down the block did. Wrong is Wrong, Evil is Evil. If I cannot condone “enhanced interrogation” being practiced on American service personnel, I cannot condone American personnel practicing such on othersLater DaysJackcrow2001

    GI,If you’re so sure that “nothing will come out of this”, then why Politically Waterboard those that were entrusted with our national security, and those pressured into a situation of “connecting the dots”.This is just another Extreme Left Agenda for the purpose of “Political Torture”.

  • thespacecowboy

    The analogy…it makes no sense.

  • GItheJOE

    Titan, I don’t acknowledge extremist. But in your case I will make an exemption.This is NOT politically showmanship. THE ADULTS ARE IN TOWN NOW! The last 8 years were all about controlling the Pentagon Propaganda and political posturing. Now is a time to clean up 30 years of laissez faire free market bullshit.I said nothing will happen because at my young age I have seen a nation OUTRAGED over a former President getting his dick sucked and yet nothing happen. Well, I guess we did elect a moron fake cowboy but that is for another time. The truth needs to come and it is the PROCESS that I care about.No one has to go to jail. It is just important for future totalitarian presidents to know that they can’t hide their corpses. A Torture Amendment would be nice. This can’t happen again.

    Interesting commentary on McClatchy on Fujimori’s conviction.”And as for the rule of law – it is alive and well – in Peru.”
