It's perfectly acceptable for other nations to torture Americans

[depakid]

That's the message Bush & Cheney sent the world- and the Obama administration confirmed it yet again today.

1. How did they do that, depakid?

[depakid]

2. Failure to hold the the architects of torture even the slightest degree accountable

Any other attorney- in any remotely similar situation would have been disbarred (or severely disciplined at least) -if not prosecuted for their behavior.

Torture on the other hand- that charge is sacrosanct and above American law.

4. Recced back to zero for the truth.. n/t

5. One of the benefits of hegemonic power. Just like Bush doctrine

[depakid]

7. The administration's actions have basically ratified what Bush et al. have done.

[indepat]

9. Does not the administration basically ratify every heinous transgression

of junior that is left to stand, be it torture, pre-emptive war(s) of aggression, evisceration of the Constitution, ignoring the rule of law, violation of our own laws, including treaties, and politicization of the Federal establishment, most notably, the Department of Justice, as is failure to pursue prosecution of the most egregious offenders? :P

8. what's good for the goose....

another sad day in america

[Taitertots]

10. Tortured logic

Along the same vein as "they intentionally killed civilians on 9-11, so we should intentionally kill their's"

Or "We nuclear bombed Japan so it is OK is someone nuclear bombed us"
