William Rivers Pitt has once again proven himself to essentially be a coward. Just recently DUmmieland was in an uproar because Obama seemed to nix any chance of investigations into laughable "torture" by the Bush administration. One voice noticeably absent was that of Pitt. Why? Because, despite his Fitzmas disgrace, Pitt is probably harboring divorced-from-reality notions that he might one day be chosen by The One to help lead this nation. Well, shortly after Obama seemed to close the door on such investigations, he re-opened them again by giving the green light to AG Eric Holder. As soon as that happened, I thought to myself that Pitt would finally chime in now that it was "safe" to do so. I was not wrong as you can see in his THREAD, "Who should be going to jail for torture?" So let us now watch Pied Piper Pitt "bravely" crawl out of his Bukowski's hole in the wall in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if the Pittster has a reference letter from Dennis Kucinich whom he betrayed, is in the [brackets]:
Who should be going to jail for torture?
[Let me guess. ONLY Republicans and NO Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi who was fully apprised of water boarding now ridiculously redefined as "torture."]
My list:
Yoo
[Yoo, Pitt. Yes, Yoo. Yoo tortured us mercilessly with your ENDLESS PARTIAL BIRTH NON-APOLOGY over Fitzmas. Yoo should go to jail. Yoo, not Karl Rove who, as we all know thanx to your incredible journalistic scoop, was indicted on May 12, 2006.]
Bybee
Rumsfeld
Cheney
Bush (if it can be proven that he actually made any decisions, which is dubious imho)
Gonzales
[What's laughable here is that this list conspicuously leaves out the name of Karl Rove even though many other DUmmies are accusing him of "torture." The name of Karl Rove brings back painful memories to you, eh, Pitt?]
I'm leaving off the CIA interrogators for the time being, not because I think they should get a walk for breaking the law, but because any prosecution of them would be DOA. Legally, they were following what they construed to be lawfully executed orders from their superiors. Yes, "I was only following orders" is the bullshit Nuremberg defense, but in a US court of law, it's enough to sustain the inevitable motion to dismiss from the defense.
[The author of the Fitzmas Fraud delivers a sermon on morality.]
So I don't think we can get those guys even if we want to.
[Can we "get" Jason Leopold's co-conspirator?]
Who can we get? Who should we get? Who gave the orders to and crafted the defense for torture?
[Karl Rove. He gave the orders on May 12, 2006. I'll have more details for you in just 24 business hours. And now to the DUmmie peanut gallery...]
Haynes. He was a major player who set this in motion at the Pentagram. He was the one that started trolling for torture techniques and who made the overture to the SERE people. And Richard Meyers who lied his ass off at the Taguba hearings. In fact, all of those people who lied at those hearings should go to jail, including Feith, Gambone and Addington.
[Speaking of lying, how about if we indict the crack journalistic team of Leopold & Lib?]
Rice doesn't get a pass. She approved waterboarding
[And overfeeding the Gitmo terrorists with Rice pilaf.]
The senior command is DEFINITELY culpable, without a shadow of a reasonable doubt.
[Not a doubt about it. As absolutely certain as the indictment of Karl Rove on May 12, 2006.]
People who tortured other people with their hands need to go to jail. I don't care whose approval or okay they thought they had.
[OK, this is completely OT but I have a complaint I need to make to Head DUmmie Skinner. I have just noticed that the DUmmieland format has changed slightly. I now need to copy the first sentence of a posting and then the rest of it again separately. Before I could do it all with one quick sweeping highlight motion of my mouse. The result is that it takes me a bit more time to copy and paste DUmmieland posts. Therefore I am asking Head DUmmie Skinner to please go back to the old format to enable speedier DUFUing. Thanx in advance for your cooperation.]
anyone who defends it on national tv..i dont know what the charge would be but its got to be illegal
[Is breaking fake news scoops also illegal?]
Powell, Armitage, Feith, Wolfowitz, Cambone (the one who set up the systems in all prisons), and Miller. Don't forget Addington, Rove and Libby.
[As noted above, Pitt has conveniently forgotten Rove and please DON'T remind him about Rove again. EVER!!!]
Hell, I'm adding Al Dershowitz because he was the first to publicly discuss torture as a viable option, something to banally discuss on my dinnertime TV, along with taxes and the weather. I will never forget that, Al, NEVER.
[Leave the "b" off of "banally" and you will definitely have the attention of Ben Burch.]
Why Does It Matter If Bush Actually "Made" The Decisons???? He was the boss. He wasn't "supposed" to be clueless about what was going on. Yes, he may have been clueless, but ultimately, he was responsible for the actions of his underlings and would have had ultimate sign off on these decisions.
That was a joke. He's on the list.
[Chuckled Pitt the Witt.]
Dick Cheney and Karl Rove are on the very top of my list because I think they were mainly responsible for hatching and then setting in motion the execution of the crimes of the past eight years. If they can be nailed with the torture crimes, I think it will be enough to bring in the rest of those who were complicit, even GWB. Instead of starting from the bottom and then trying to snare those on the top, I think we should start at the top and then maybe many of those who were only following orders can be identified.
[Karl Rove is definitely NOT at the top of Pitt's list. The very name brings back painful memories that last for a full 24 business hours.]
Your list is a good start. Add Rove.
[Pitt prefers to drop Rove from both his list and his memory bank.]
PING!
Top 10!
Top 5. Now to read
HAPPY MONDAY!
Another question, who should go to jail for the Air Force 1 flight down the hudson for a photo op, causing tens of thousands to be evacuated?
Who should be going to jail for their drunken rants and piss poor “writing”?
Pitt
That is all......
Top 10
bttt
The omission of Nasty Pelousy was purely an oversight I’m sure.
top 10 business posts
drat 11
Top 15!
who should we get?
All I know is I dont really get Yoo
anyone who defends it on national tv..i dont know what the charge would be but its got to be illegal
There just isn't any sane response to a person who'd say or even think that.
Him, for inflicting his writing on the world.
Clueless DUmmies..
Who's on first, Yoo is on second, and Hee's on third.
You're redundant and you repeat yourself. :D
Anyway, I don't think their kind are allowed to have a clue.
Isn’t this the guy who had sex with a student of his? He really shouldn’t be talking about jail...
Yoo and Bybee exploited a legal loophole in their memos. The harsh interrogation tactics they recommended did not satisfy any legal definition of torture. Therefore they were legal.
In particular, since the detainees subjected to the harsh interrogation techniques (such as waterboarding) that they would not be killed, even the “fear of death” clause in the UN Convention Against Torture was not satisfied.
“Who should be going to jail for torture?”
Janet Reno for torturing and killing the Branch Davidians!
Finally, today, the mods locked his posts and apparently gave him a time-out.
Frank, I know you saw it because it was reported on the Conservative Cave, but what can you tell us about this originalpckelly? He seems like a very disturbed individual (I know they all do, but this one went to a level of outhouse rat crazy the likes of which I've never seen).
As az matter of fact, I never paid attention to the pickled primitive until yesterday, when that bonfire he posted appeared. Until then, the pickled primitive was just another one of the unterprimitiven, one of the faceless lynch mob, the amorphous blob that is 99.8% of the primitives on Skins' island.
It's not like he was a non-primitive, a first-tier primitive, a second-tier primitive, a third-tier primitive, a les risibles primitive [the laughable ones], or a drek primitive, the skummiest of the primitives; in other words, a Primitive of Prominence.
Of course, with something a little less than 5,000 primitives, it's hard to keep one's eye on all of them, and so I will readily admit I've missed some real gems. As soon as the health is back up to par, I think I'll look more into the pickled primitive, to see if he needs promoted or demoted in status.
You'll see at The Consortium that the idea of the mining venture didn't come about until January 1984. And it was in 1984, according to other sources, that Congress became up in arms about their being left out of the picture.
It seems odd to me that someone with so much animosity toward the CIA and a former administration would be so specific about a date ("January of 1982") yet get it so wrong.
I quoted you over there, sir, if you don’t mind; same thread as the link above.
Why would I mind?
My good friend over there has the eyes and talons of a hawk; if I were a primitive, I wouldn't want to mess with him.
Nah, It just came to me that 1982 was petty early in the Reagan Administration, so I thought I'd check the date, that's all. A simple Google search on 'Nicaragua port mining' brought up any number of threads. It was simple to find the ones that gave the dates. Inquiring minds want to know, and all that...
Saw that, Frank. In fact, I couldn’t take my eyes off it for a while. When DUmmies start telling other DUmmies to seek psychiatric help, they should listen.
Good one.
It was seared -- seared, I tell you! -- into his memory.
Yup, just like the Rove indictment was seared into the consciousness of every DUmmie...
I was thinking Kerry and Cambodia, actually...
I think we could take our pick of any number of non (or misclaimed)-events...
formercia just LOVES the attention:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x5577994
Yeah.
And thanks to our esteemed colleague bcsco, the formica primitive's getting all snagged up in his description of details.
It's great.
