Hey, DICK! Guess What? You've Earned 15 Years Behind Bars!
So, ya say waterboarding doesn't constitute torture? Ya say nothing you did was illegal? WRONG!!

"In the war crimes tribunals that followed Japan's defeat in World War II, the issue of waterboarding was sometimes raised. In 1947, the U.S. charged a Japanese officer, Yukio Asano, with war crimes for waterboarding a U.S. civilian. Asano was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor."

And this was for just one incident. You, on the other hand, authorized wholesale implementation of this particular torture technique. And, you were stupid enough to admit your guilt on national television!

Better pack some extra batteries for that pacemaker.....

I mean. I like to hold out hope that we'd see something that looked like that at some point..

...I just don't have confidence that we will.

2. And to go With IT - the bumper sticker that never was but Should Be


(I really should do something for Darth as well)

If we are a nation of laws, it will happen.

If it does not, well, at least the truth will be out and we will know what type of nation this truly is...

6. Really
Cheney's attitude shows he is an anarchist.
Yes: The VP and his puppet are anarchists.

They really think they can make up rules as they go along.
And what better definition of an anarchist is there than that?

And I know whereof I speak, for I am one.
But I am not the VP. He is. He has a certain responsibility to follow the existing rules.
And his failure to do so means he should pay a heavy price. 15 years may not be enough.
