If We Don't Prosecute Torture...............

If Obama Doesn't Prosecute Bush's Torture Team, We'll Pay a Big Price Down the Road

"How did it come about that American military personnel stripped detainees naked, put them in stress positions, used dogs to scare them, put leashes around their necks to humiliate them, hooded them, deprived them of sleep and blasted music at them? Were these actions the result of 'a few bad apples' acting on their own? It would be a lot easier to accept if it were. But that's not the case."

-- Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, June 17, 2008

It was a short but significant report in Newsweek last week, and it began like this:

Despite the hopes of many human rights advocates, the new Obama Justice Department is not likely to launch major new criminal probes of harsh interrogations and other alleged abuses by the Bush administration. But one idea that has currency among some top Obama advisers is setting up a 9/11-style commission that would investigate counterterrorism policies and make public as many details as possible. "At a minimum, the American people have to be able to see and judge what happened," said one senior adviser, who asked not to be identified for talking about policy matters. The commission would be empowered to order the U.S. intelligence agencies to open their files for review and question senior officials who approved "waterboarding" and other controversial practices.

The article, written by Michael Isikoff, came at the heels of another report by the Associated Press, which quoted a pair of anonymous Obama advisors as saying that there was little-to-no chance that an Obama Justice Department would try to prosecute Bush-era officials for torture. The same report quoted Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., as saying that members of the Bush administration would not face war crimes charges in the United States. "These things are not going to happen."

What The F**K!!

This Country? can't even Afford to Supply our Military personal, in Combat Theaters it sent them to while cheering about bombing others to 'Freedom' and 'Democracy', under our terms, with enough Underwear!

Here you have Combat Soldiers in a War Theater of Occupation, many living under conditions where they can't even shower, let alone Wash Clothes, using up their Allotment of undergarments and having to buy more 'With Their own Money'!

Project Underwear Needs Your Help

Often times, soldiers throw away two or three pairs of underwear while on a mission because there is no way to wash.

And

Don't forget about the ladies serving in Iraq. They also need donations of underwear.

This drive started on Christmas Eve and collected some 40bags of underwear, I'm assuming garbage bags.

Brown says U.S. Army soldiers often throw away two or three pairs while on a mission because there's no way to wash. While the Army issues underwear, soldiers have to buy extras after using up their allocation.

As the Country apparently finds nothing wrong with the 'president' and his 'puppet', which is which, hint: one smiling Rules.


Can't seem to find enough of our hired representatives who are willing to uphold the Constitution and Hold Those Responsible for their Corruption and Guilt!
