So with the memo's released and the proof before us ... not prosecuting amounts to rubbing our nose

[thunder rising]

in shit. No prosecution? fuck that!

Every person that enlists in the military knows that an unlawful order can get them hung. Same is true with NSA, CIA and the rest of the alphabet soup. They are no better than the rest of us ... these sick asshats fucking tortured people, enjoyed it and now they are going to walk?

We have to get the sick perverted psycho's out of government service and into hospitals where WE are safe.

Fuck

1. I'm sure congress is just busy with other stuff.

There's that whole "steroids in baseball" thing they're tied up with quite a bit. Priorities, you know.

2. Yeah, and a "Sense of the Congress" congratulating that Brit singer. Busy busy

3. Here's my letter I wrote today...

Dear Congressman Tierney,
I am writing to you regarding the torture memos that were just released. We've been reading these stories for years, and I didn't think it was possible for new information to phase me one way or another, but I was wrong. These memos reveal a cunning, devious, intricate legal finding to allow a nation to wholly act with brutality and disregard for any human life. The controlled, specific directions to provide the thinnest thread of legal cover for what the whole world considers torture is mind bending. It's one thing to torture. It's quite another to legalize it in such minute detail. I have no idea how to make this right. But I do know that some action is necessary. It is impossible to look away. The totality of the destruction to our country and from our country can not be reconciled in any way. There isn't enough rationalization in the world. Believe me I've tried. Past empires have behaved with human cruelty and depravity, and they all suffered their fates. I believe we will too. I just wish there were some way to at least have our government appear to care, appear to have a conscious. I hope that you and your colleagues can find some way to act. Do anything, but do something. Thank you.
