I Really Wish I Didn't Have to Keep Posting This

The Bush administration is still torturing people.

"Later that year, as Congress moved toward outlawing “cruel, inhuman and degrading” treatment, the Justice Department issued another secret opinion, one most lawmakers did not know existed, current and former officials said. The Justice Department document declared that none of the C.I.A. interrogation methods violated that standard."

Even after Congress specifically passed a law banning it. Which shouldn't have been necessary in the first place.

What's it called when the President breaks the law? And gives up our moral authority, and oh yeah, tortures people? I'd call that a High Crime or so. I think there's even a specific clause in the Constitution about what to do when the President does stuff like that.

Yeah, that's it. Impeach George Bush and Dick Cheney. Impeach them now.

I really wish people would get it out of their heads that Bush will rise to the challenges facing our nation. After all this time, he hasn't, and he clearly won't. Sadly, I think that's the main reason why he isn't being impeached yet. He was presiding over our land during a major international incident, and people expect him to rise to the occasion. Just...no.

The sad thing is that unless subsequent presidents deliberately call attention to it, he'll probably never pay for his crimes and mistakes.

That's exactly why we need to push them to call attention to it, and hold them responsible.

Also, throw them in jail forever and bar them and their flunkies from any kind of political office or anything, forever and ever. Dick Cheney started out working under Nixon, after all.
