How do you unscrew the pooch?
Al this talk about how the "terrorist" was "only convicted on one count" is a HUGE setback for the Obama Administration's efforts to try these guys in Civilian Federal Court only barely mention that it was the

TORTURE

sanctioned by the Bush Maladministration that puts America in this damn near impossible position. Obama's refusal to "look back" and hold them accountable for the damage that they did to America's reputation and Judicial system is more than just a crying shame.

2. Nicely stated Miss annabanana
Recommended.

Without the Bushco years get properly cataloged in history as a criminal era, forward in an of itself is what I see as a skewed vision.

8. Nothing funny about it at all.
Sorry to appear as though I were just making fun of it. I just have a very dark sense of humor and sometimes it gets away from me. That, and sometimes I am forced to try and laugh at all of this just to keep my own head screwed on, if you get my drift. :hi:

4. How was his conviction on one count a set back...
Hell, if he walked away having been found innocent or convicted of all charges that would have been a win. Torture was a crime, but so is holding people indefinitely.

Try them all, if the get off, let them take Bush to Court.

6. I'm not saying it WAS a "set back".. I'm saying it's being
characterized as a set back by CorpoMedia®

7. If getting 20 years is failure, then someone is defining our reality for us.

What we need is to discard much of what is called "news" these days. It's all about money. Elections and media both need to have the money part removed.

edit- I heard he got 20 years. But I'm too lazy to check that. OMG I'm part of the problem. :)
