It still matters
Just because there seem to be more pressing concerns with other issues, does not mean that torturers get to walk free.

Really good to see you, PCAnts; how are you? You are missed.

Nor is there any reason to believe we will not torture in the future when none are held accountable.
To regain integrity there must be accountability.

Not just walk free but walk among us. These people and their enablers and their colleagues are un-chastened and even encouraged with every passing day.

And not just walk free, but get prime time air time to argue that torture is good and an imperative tool in keeping us "safe."

I'd rather live dangerously than give up any pretense to honor.

Thanks for the reminder, Cyants. It won't hurt to mention it in letters and phone calls regarding those other matters.

I have thought of you often, and hoped you were doing ok. How are you? Yes, as usual; you are right, but not right as well, because they ARE walking around. In fact Dick Cheney is being interviewed ad nauseum as though he has something to say. He and his spawn are everywhere, being given credibility by those who don't know the meaning of "balance," yet claim to honor it.

(And since Obamabots like CVIlle Dem are all too happy to assign blame for all crimes ever committed, including crimes which are being committed at this very moment, to Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, and in general anyone except their hypocritical Messiah, I'll paste in a little parable about Barack Obama...)
(This parable was originally published by "the prophetic wonder-man of political blogging," Jacob Freeze.)

And LaScala has soooo much to do with torture. Of course root vegetables have a very low IQ.
"retarded tenor?"
Every pathetic thing that you post reminds me of a dolt reciting the phone book.
Your point is that Italians know nothing about opera? You give yourself away, once again.
You really need to spend some time reading some books.

Well put. I was royally ticked off to read that MSNBC considers Liz Cheney "a great guest". Barf.

If it was not for her father's name, her personal achievements are so less then stellar as to be laughable. She does not merit any national platform. Who of equal position in the bureaucracy has EVER has this much attention? If one were to deduct her family name from her rise in the bureaucracy, I believe she would be in the mailroom. No disrespct is intended to people who work in the mailroom. I cherish those who make an honest living. I do not see that Ms. Cheney does that.

Yes, it's too easy to get sidetracked. Thanks for putting this out there.
Like Wendy said, you are missed. I emailed you a couple of days ago.

Too many Obama apologists and not enough people looking to do the right thing. It is all about partisan politics.
I screamed about how we tortured when George Bush was president and the practice still sucks under Obama...Mr. President stop the torture now!!! Restore the rule of law and habeus corpus to our legal system...stop the madness!!!
And while we're at it stop the spying that is being done on the American people. On all of these issues I don't see much difference between Bush and Obama.

You have been missed PCA! Now that's what I call making a point.
ps. If you have time and energy, could you drop me a line so I have your email address again. My computer crashed twice this summer requiring reformatting my drive and the loss of my address book. (Grr)

Justice must not be denied.
September 29, 2009 11:52 PM | Reply | Permalink
Yeah but how can justice be served when the same injustices are still ongoing? That is the dilemma we face and why justice probably won't be served any time soon...

I share your cynicism to a point. Things are very much the same in a lot of ways but the things that are different will matter over time.

I agree Libertine. We were inducted to moral destruction and are now told to get over it and move on. How will we ever rekindle our hearts without justice?

Your not going to stop torture, without stopping wars. This has been going on in every war. Get real, it doesnt matter if we like or not, it is going to happen. Getting to the one's that allowed it to happen, would be just. To many lower ranking officers lost their careers over this, because they took a stand against it.
