MSNBC Countdown w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - April 3, 2008.

MULTIPLE high crimes and misdemeanors. No impeach. Welcome to Bizarro World.

Oh, by the way, those DUers who in the past have defended the right-wing wet dream known as '24' as just entertainment...

5. Before I die
I want to see all of the war criminals in this (mal)administration in orange jump suits and shackles. Then I can die and believe that God may in fact exist. What will if finally take for some kind of justice to be meted out? Future history books will compare the USA with Nazi Germany.

6. The difference between us and the Nazis
is that we still have people like Olberman speaking out against it and he's not taken by the gestapo.

17. Not yet
But Richard Durbin was severely trashed after speaking out about torture at Guantanamo. The right wing falsely accused him of comparing the troops to Nazis. Durbin apologized in the face of a public uproar.

Fascists can't send people to prison yet but they can definitely punish those who speak up.

8. Round them up, and send them to the Hauge (spelling?)
if US won't arrest and prosecute them, maybe another country would.

Delahunte, the other author of the memo is here at St. Thomas University.. and the rest will be here at the Xcel Center in St.Paul, MN in September. The public will help hold them down

19. Yes..that is actually very possible...
There is an article at VanityFair website. The Green Light. It reveals why Bush needed the Military Commission Act...but it looks that there is no immunity for them, including Yoo, outside the US.

10. Turley should be running the Supreme freaking Court.
For being a beacon of truth, justice and the American way in this land of the blind.

11. Congress Has Made Itself Complicit
Edited on Fri Apr-04-08 01:47 PM by fascisthunter
for not investigating this. Bush committed war crimes and he should be convicted of War Crimes. So should those who were active in carrying out torture or defending it in any way.

18. Much worse than that......... Cheney wanted to secure Iraqi
oil, criminal but understandably, pure greed, Bush went along because he was told to and he's only a puppet. The rethugs went along because they either "believed" or were afraid to buck their brethren.

The dems, the fucking cowardly dems, were only protecting their re-election and some still are today. They were/are the worst of the lot in my opinion. After this election when Democrats are truly in power there should be a purge of the party and a lot of them should go. We can find real AMERICANS to take their place.

14. DoJ doesn't make the laws but they certainly can be arrested for breaking it.

15. All law enforcement agencies are controlled by Bush...think about it
They all come under the executive branch and there are no agencies to enforce what congress might decree. No one to arrest Bush administration except those it already controls. The Judiciary branch has joined with the executive branch against the legislative branch. Let them pretend it's still a democracy while in secret we do whatever we want and control those who would be able to stop us...the Bush administration.
