concludes that torture occurred at gitmo. This is a must read.

"But the official, Susan J. Crawford, told Bob Woodward of The Washington Post that she had concluded that his treatment amounted to torture when she reviewed military charges against him last year. In May she decided that the case could not be referred for trial but provided no explanation at the time.

“His treatment met the legal definition of torture. And that’s why I did not refer the case” for prosecution, Ms. Crawford was quoted as saying in an article published in The Post on Wednesday."

    COMMISION????  

    Fuuuuuucking hell.  I've never been there and I could have told you with 200% certainty that torture occurred at Gitmo thingy.

    Why?  Because I have at least half a brain and I use it to observe and understand how some things work - EG, the US Military and the Republican-Nazi Party.  Rule #1.  Assume the worst.  Easy Peasy.......

    What does this mean to you, the viewer? 

    That Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are WAR CRIMINALS among others and justice and humanity has been seriously compromised yet again by the Bush Administration of gangsters and criminals. 

    What should happen and what will happen as a result are as different as Mars and Venus are in terms of being good holiday destinations..... although still better than being stuck at Gitmo.

    Remember my American  friends from across the Pacific Ocean, this reflects on YOU.  Demand that Bush and his thugs spend eternity in prison and I'll forget the whole Gitmo thing.


    Now.... About Iraq..........  tsk tsk.....

    I'm not holding out much hope that Bush, et. al. will actually do real time in prison, but from what I'm reading there is quite a bit of buzz that people are not willing to just let them walk away from these crimes and excesses.

    I guess it's time to start writing letters with checks attached to make sure the issues don't get forgotten.

    I strongly suggest to all patriotic Americans who love justice to acquire voodoo dolls in their image and stick pins in their respective butts and other sensitive regions.

    At least it may provide some small measure of satisfaction on a personal level.

    I shall be using coarse, rusty pins dipped in venom........

    May they feel the wroth of my pricks!!!
