Levin, Udall, Feinstein, McCain?? Torture? The wheels are coming of this thing. WTF is going on?

[xiamiam]

It couldn't be that conscience..cosmic or individual is waking people up.?? I would be happy to at least see Cheney humiliated and in jail, and stripped of all of his money and assets. I want to live long enough to see that. I dont want him to have a heart attack or die in any way until he is treated as the psychopath that he is.

Looks like a lot of 'folks' are getting thrown under the bus. I've been waiting more than a decade to see this and I am suspicious that something else is going on.

1. I don't know what is going on,

However, I guarantee whatever it is we liberals will not be happy or satisfied. Not one will end up in jail or even censured in the Senate.

5. I think what it is

is that the GOP inner circle and their puppetmasters have finally realized it's the only way their party is going to get beyond those dismal years with Stupid and his gang of felons and traitors in office.

Cheney will likely get the most blame because he is such an unsympathetic character, but if the blame isn't spread around to Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and the brass at the CIA during that period as well as the psychopathic men with medical degrees who designed it all, then it will be worth absolutely nothing.

13. I don't like McCain but he's been against it. He lived it. He knows its

not helpful.

2. All of the people you name have consistently spoke out against torture, only now does it seem to be

Getting the attention that it should have years ago.

3. Would love for them to vote no on the big O bill also. Levin

is retiring, udall lost his seat, Feinstein--rumor has it it will be her last term. and McCain has always opposed torture saying it does not work. IMHO

[GoneFishin]

4. I would be pretty happy if Cheney were universally condemned as a war criminal outside

of the U.S.. It is pretty unlikely to happen inside the U.S..

[grasswire]

6. Levin and Udall are leaving the senate.

Feinstein is losing her chairmanship. McCain is McCain.

[ucrdem]

8. Sen. Udall is honorary chair of Third Way, the real one.

Imagine that.

[ucrdem]

7. Yeah, if McCain is in the pile it must be good, right?

Wrong.

9. If TPTB manipulate the players to globally shine a big black eye on the CIA,

yet covering Bush, Cheney et al from prosecution, will the GOP, come January, begin the process of eliminating the CIA as we know it, and move to privatize?

Isn't this their same m.o. that is used for eliminating any government function and turning it into a for-profit business?
Expose it in a very big way as inefficient, & getting the public's agreement that this government program would be better served in the hands of private corp.

US tax dollars still fund it, yet as a private for-profit corp, they can operate outside the boundaries of a government entity.

Only thing I can come up with.
And I don't doubt that such a plan may be in the works with the Oligarchs currrently in power.
Perhaps they will become the US taxpayer funded private big-brother system redesigned to support the Countries included in the TPP.
US govt funded, for profit. Like all other programs that were originally designed to serve the American Citizens.

Devalue, demonize, & move to privatize.

My opinion, of course, based only on a pattern & total mistrust as to motives being anything but self serving for global corporations.

Thank You

10. I think it was a case of now or never:

Get the report out now or see it buried indefinitely, probably forever.

[misterhighwasted]

11. Most likely answer. Let the chips fall where they may. US will let it become history.

12. Scandal.....nt

14. Kabuki Theater

They get to pontificate and spout off for a while, knowing that by New Year's it will all be forgotten by the reality show public.

Expect no long term ramifications.
