Comments on: Senators Criticize Cheney Cover-Up

Former VP Had CIA Conceal Program from Congress; New Calls for Investigation of Bush-Era Torture

[Stormy500]

See, this is what I am talking about. We are Democrats who voted for Obama and are very pleased at his performance now at just 6 months into his presidency. Many of us were Republicans in our lives and many of us still vote locally for a Republican if we believe he/she is best for our district, our state, and our country. But here now we have to be lumped in with these over-the-top individuals who call for "executions" and other absurd notions. Just as ridiculous and offensive as the ultra-right and their angry calls for vengeance and McVeigh-type ramblings of victimization and revenge...nutty and un-helpful for our country-- all of them.

Translation: Lets just all forget about the immoral and illegal activities of Cheney.

You know, the American public is being punished severely instead, by a world wide boycott on Americans, just look at the state of the economy, now why do you think that happened, people across the globe, do not want to deal with America, with pictures of GITMO and Iraq plastered on the worlds front pages.

The propaganda system will "investigate" & find some army sgt has been responsible for all the criminal activity.It worked in the prison torture "story"& the brainwashed public has been conditioned from childhood in the schools & churches to be good little believers.

Heck if Congress would take care of business instead of settling old scores we wouldn't be faced with double digit unemployment. Feinstains state of CA is buried under massive deficits and she's worrying about some retired ex-VP. I guess it beats workin for a living!

It is ridiculous to say that Bush & Cheney & Co should spend years in prison for their treasonous, but personally immensely profitable crimes against America and the world.

They should only be locked up until such time as they are taken to a place of execution to be put to death in the manner prescribed by law.

I would wish for a creative, painful manner to be employed AFTER they had both been subjected to a few rounds of water boarding to learn the access codes to their offshore accounts, thus ending the current recession.

They stole BILLIONS...and they did it by crawling over the bodies of thousands of young Americans and a million Iraqis.

Having been brain-dead for most of his wastrel existance, Bush probably won't even notice when he gets put down like the murdering, thieving, treasonous dog that he is, but hopefully, Darth Cheney (the rabid dog) will really suffer.

Of course, I don't expect any of this to happen.

I would imagine by now, Obama has some inkling of some of what REALLY happened during those eight long years and rightly fears that the country would be torn asunder if the truth were ever to come out.

Ah, Uncle Dick your at it again. Like "Old Man Potter" in the movie It's a Wonderful Life,Still foreclosing homes on widows & orphans!

[jimgilmorego]

I think the CIA should be investigated for so willingly abiding the Cheny administration's illegal and pernicious practices. The FBI certainly didn't want to be involved in torture and refused to take part in it.

I really detest their "don't blame us we were only following orders" defense.

How far were they willing to go...are there any morales left?

[Stormy500]

I was disappointed not to see Senator McCain's comments on this subject mentioned in this article. Did he say something of the effect of "this is just the beginning"? Alot of we Democrats like to hear or read comments made by Republican men and women in Congress who have minds of their own, like John McMain (unless he is running for president) and Chuck Hagel. Sick of this ultra-left and ultra-right garbage.

[Stormy500]

These are very reasonable and rational comments you have made, ttxort. In other words, they won't fly with this group here. (Unfortunately)
