Impeach President Bush Now

Impeach

President

Bush

Now

The part that really says "petulant jackass who doesn't actually give a rat's ass about anything other than power" is the part where he threatens to stop all CIA interrogations of suspects if he doesn't get to torture people. And the "clarity" bullshit has to stop. There's been 50 years of work on understanding, very clearly, what does and does not violate the Geneva conventions on this issue. It's very clear now. The idea that this legalisation of torture effort is some sort of attempt to "clarify" anything is a giant lie. Do not let that abuse of language, history, and American principles stand. It was torture when the Soviets did it; it was torture when the Hussein regime did it; it's torture if we do it. Period.

How do we determine which detainees have been faithfully following the Geneva Conventions?

It's not about the detainees, it's about the state/organization they are a member of.

Hm!

I'm too emotionally involved in this discussion. I'm stopping it here. Apologies for starting a conversation thread and then dropping it. ^_^
