Toddler's testicles were not the only focus of perversion that Cheney and his minions devised.  He had also resurrected the spirit of Joseph Mengele in a more clinical pursuit of sexual perversion and enhanced inhumanity.  This happened at Gitmo under our supervision.

The 25 lines edited out of the court papers contained details of how Mr Mohamed's genitals were sliced with a scalpel and other torture methods so extreme that waterboarding, the controversial technique of simulated drowning, "is very far down the list of things they did," the official said.

This was the treatment afforded to both culpable and innocent alike.  Even if they drop all charges against you, they've grown too accustomed to having you chained in the King's Tower to set you free.

I understand that the more religiously inclined tend to be more supportive of this kind of thing?  Perhaps one of our religious elite will step forward and provide the next wave of new thinking on this recent embrace of "let's mess with his junk" science?  

I'd suggest they fund a new think tank, ala the Center Heading Reasearch In Support of Torturing Terrorists Testicles, aka The CHRISTTT Center, (see also Holy).

Watched just a wee bit (the new Star Trek rocks...) of the Cheney confession from Sunday TV.  He's a kind of antiporn.  The more you see of him, the less you want to see more of him.  Creepy, and so not like porn.

Here's my take of what I heard......

Didn't realize that (many!)of our military trainees were being subjected to 11 days sleep deprivation, joint dislocations from hanging in stress positions, death from beatings, etc. Where are all the military guys who went through dozens (90-183?) of daily waterboardings? Weeks of sensory deprivation? Endless hours and days of loud music? Just asking. I'm aware our soldiers get a 'taste' of said in SERE, but for Cheney to make a comparison to what they actually did (to a lot of INNOCENT HUMANS) is extraordinarily craptacular. To see the self-identified "best of our media" let it slide? Illuminating.

Cheney didn't throw Bush under the bus. From what I heard, Bush could use this interview against Cheney in the war crimes trials. Cheney veered around the question of Bush's actual knowledge of what Cheney was doing in a way that makes me think that he played the simpleton Bush for the fool and incompetent that he is/was. Bush might honestly not have been aware of the worst of it at the time it was being done. Those early lies about the use of torture might have been honest from his perspective. Not saying he didn't think detainees were getting "roughed-up good Mr. Preznet" but early on, he might not have known?!?

In the beginning......Bush asked Cheney to find a vice presidential candidate to run with.  Cheney picked himself as the best and Bush did his first (and last) 'decidering' when he agreed.   Cheney was the pro. He worked with Nixon. I'm starting to think that Bush was not the "decider" so much as the "gullible rube".

For the gang of you torturing and torture supporting sons-a-bitches out there:

You're obviously not very bright so let me give you a clue. If you are guilty as hell of same, don't go on Sunday morning television and admit that you not only did it, but that you'd do it again. That's gonna raise your lawyers fee at the war crimes trial to an astronomical amount.

One Last Thing......

Can we arrest him now? Is public confession not sufficient 'probable cause'? We don't have to invent any new laws or change any of our basic morality, we just need to enforce the existing law and remind ourselves that we debated on the inhumanity of these actions, under far worse circumstances, long ago.   Most confessions include some small bit of atonement, but not Cheney.  He's begging to be held responsible.  These repetitive public confessionals must be a subconscious attempt by his own psyche to punish him for the guilt that is pent up inside him.

You can't just decide that the Earth is again flat, even if you have the loud, fatman on the radio, along with the chicken-shit FauxTV crowd, endlessly exhorting the rustic nature of our beloved new flatlands.

Enjoy.
