If Torturegate is whitewashed here, will the U.N. officially condemn US
I suspect the Pukes in Congress will make sure this torture horror is swept under the rug. Rummy's crocodile tears and *'s pathetic "apologies" will suffice to quiet the American sheeple. How this and the U.S. is perceived by the rest of the world, especially Muslims, is another matter entirely. How far do the * fascists need to go before an international reaction by the U.N. (NOT just protesters on the street) occurs. Its way past time imho. And, frankly if the U.N. does not at least condemn us in the General Assembly, I believe it really is a useless paper tiger.

Stop the train! I want to get off!

2. They truly should. . .
our behavior is reprehensible and inexcusable. But I fear that we may own them.

3. Rethugs and UN


Let's remember that they have said the UN is no good and Annan is a thief. They will keep trashing the UN so that people will believe that the UN is no good.

5. I have little faith in the American public.
Well, actually, I have faith, but I don't think the fullness of our(dissenting) voices can be heard here. But the U.N. is supposed to represent all the world's nations! How can such an outrage against humanity be ignored?????????

4. I think that will be the next step...
...but BushCo and the neo-cons want that so that the U.N can be rendered irrelevant, just as Hitler wanted the League of Nations to die in Europe in the 1930's. That assured Hitler and Nazi Germany could pursue their political ambitions of European conquest. The similarities are astonishing.
