Softening up America
That's what this is really all about. The BushCo Fascists always intended to make this public. Why do you think they so carefully recorded everything?

This sets the plausible scenario for another terrorist attack.

MIHOP Part II...

Then, the Patriot Act will be set loose upon America...

Then, those of you whop are caught up in the Gulag will REMEMBER QUITE CLEARLY the penalties for not signing false confessions of guilt.

2. Everything is NOT the result of a conspiracy
Don't be silly.

Sometimes the truth gets out despite the Cons' best laid plans and machinations.

3. Gen Smith said something about , they thought they had got them
I am sure they will try to hold down cameras from going over seas from now on. This is going to be hard to stop this stuff getting out even if it took months to get to TV . It seems it has been out in Iraq and getting to others. One is sure the DOD knew and I am willing to bet President did but they just could not shut it down.Seems to me they just let it go on (DOD)

4. Only the things that involve human beings
those are pretty much all conspiracies.

Everything else, though, is most likely NOT the result of a conspiracy.

5. Well, to clarify,
everything is not the result of ONE single conspiracy. The fast that people communicate (con-spire) together is many ways does not mean that every human act is due to one single case thereof, no matter how powerful.

8. I don't know if the bushgang leaked the photos intentionally
as part of their sinister plan or not.

The Iraq Invasion and occupation is part of a conspiracy

9-11 was part of a conspiracy (no matter whose version you believe)

the coup of 2000 was a conspiracy (of at least 5 supremos and most likely others as well)

Are there connections between these conspiracies?

6. There's a reason they "trial ballooned" torture
I remember quite clearly the way this issue was floated all over the Media immediately following 9-11.

Just today I heard Dennis Miller say that if he were a GI, he would torture someone if it "would save one of my buddies..."

That it doesn't work, as former Military Intel officer Representative Simmons of Vermont CLEARLY stated (they learned that in Vietnam) today in the afternoon hearings, doesn't cross the mind of "True 'Muricans" who are steeped in the propaganda of revenge - a culture of racist, bigoted views that the political and media establishment has incessantly whipped up.
