Comments on: Iraq Whistleblowers Vilified, Demoted

Those Who Speak Out Against Corruption In Iraq Reconstruction Say U.S. Gov't Treats Them Like Criminals

"Americans think their danger is terrorists," said Roberts. "They don''''t understand the terrorists cannot take away habeas corpus, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution. ... The terrorists are not anything like the threat that we face to the Bill of Rights and the Constitution from our own government in the name of fighting terrorism. Americans just aren''''t able to perceive that."

Sad but true, as the old saying goes.

[creeper00]

pesos, you''ve flogged this horse so long that even those of us who might agree with something you''ve said are sick and tired of you.

Here''s a link to the Fox News Speakout site:

Why don''t you go over there and send your rants to a fresh audience?

[drummer94]

Ah, yes. Lets go to war. Way to go Bush. A fine and noble act. Paid in American blood and American dollars. *******.

[formrusmcsgt]

THe Bush administration''s handling of any conduct that goes against their line is downright Gestapo-esque.

Bush only faces right-wing audiences as a means of providing propaganda that America in general supports him when the video is played and applause is beamed across the country.

Dissenters are kept out by government agents or even worse, arrested for not being a Bush drone.

Whistle-blowers are shown the "if you tell the truth you''ll be sorry" philosophy. In other words, if they refuse to be an accomplice, they''ll be punished severly.

Tens of thousands of documents that the administration is required by law to keep have mysteriously disappeared.

Time and time again courts have ruled this administration''s actions to be illegal.

Undoubtedly, we are witnessing an administration that believes that it''s power is absolute and beyond scrutiny or accountability.

The neocons love to drape themselves in verbiage such as "freedom", "democracy", "liberty", and "patriotism" yet embrace an administration that conducts frontal attacks on all these values in it''s drive to be totalitarian.

Seems to be happening more & more in everyday life. Honesty used to be the best policy but, guess what?! Maybe it''s why we hear some kids being told "not to be a snitch" - even about things that are dire, not just idle gossip. I, for one, thank those with backbone enough to try to do the right thing.

We are our own worst enemy. We will defeat ourselves. I am not sure which GW is the worst. Global Warming or GW Bush

SUPPORT AMERICAN FIRST

[ramos937]

We elected a Democratic congress to deal with messes like this. A Republican congress never would. Laws protecting whistleblowers are no good unless there are consequences.

Whoever is responsible for prosecuting these folks have to be identified and punished.

[jankebenz]

sorry, but I just had to give pesos a taste of his own medicine. hopefully he''ll shut up, but I doubt it. Stench has a nasty habit of lingering on till ad nausea has had its affect

[seven-pesos]

all the christians thought jimmy swaggart was a man of gawd...

until he got caught in a hohouse with a sk@nky ho.

then all the christians thought ted haggard was a man of gawd... until he got caught doing meth with his homosexual lover...

republican senator vitter was always proclaiming his christian faith... ''til his name showed up on a ho'' house guest list.

my gawd... what''s a christian to think?

ha,ha,ha.

ho''s, drugs and redemption...

christians get off on that *****, huh, christians?

war, hate, evil christian snakes...

nothing good comes out of the south!

[seven-pesos]

evangelicals...

america''s evil christians!

evangelicals are bad for america.

bush, swaggart, falwell, robertson, reed...

all southern, all christian, all republican, all snakes...

slave state bush loving christian snakes.

nothing good comes out of the south!

No one reads Pesos comments after the first post, much like Lars and the conspiratorist.

[jankebenz]

The wicked are akin to the snake

slithering around from here to there

hunting for victims on who they can prey

thats why I wear the armour of God

to protect me from those sneaky snakes

from out of their mouths comes venon

lies , dishonesty , slander , malice , filth

watch out or fall victum to their cunning ways

seven pesos is one of them snakes

nothing good comes from his mouth

[radiob-2009]

Does anyone hear any congressional democrats or presidential nominees complaining or mentioning this? Complicity of the "golden elephants" and the "golden donkeys" .

[undermyboot]

The complicit and lazy press will bury this. Bush and his war profiteering cronies will go on r*ping the American tax Payer. Good people who expose these corruptions will continue to feel the boot of the fascist government- illegal incarceration, loss of jobs, threats to friends and family --- FROM THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT. What f''ing democracy? What f''ing liberty. If you believe the rules for you are the same as for the war profiteers then keep voting for the repugs. They laugh at you all the way to the bank. Morons. LMAO

[mcvet]

HAD ENOUGH, ITS TIME TO REBELLION AGAINST CORRUPTION. Your cowardice and apathy will only bring this madness. PROTECT OUR CONSTITUTION, sieze the White House and throw the Supreme Court in Jail! The AGE OF THE DICTATOR IS AT HAND!!
Posted by mcv57 at 08:40 PM : Aug 25, 2007

I''m with you! Let''s ROLL! WE the PEOPLE have tried in every way known to do this peacefully and NOTHING has made a difference. It''s OUR Country and this Low Life piece of Nazi Garbage just ignores us and our wishes, it''s time to toss the bum out... head first! We can NOT allow this to happen, we can not allow secret police and torture of American Citizens by these people.... The KLAN has returned and it''s in our WHITE HOUSE as we speak.

[mcv57]

RASISM AND ANTI-JEW NEEDS TO OUTLAWED. PEOPLE QUITE GIVINING WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS . . . CHAOS. WE NEED TO RAISE ARE ARMS AGAINST CORRUPTION, AND SAVE OUR CONSTITUTION.

[seven-pesos]

southerners are looking at rush limbaugh as a possible presidential candidate.

he has all the qualifications.

fat, bigoted, republican, christian, drug user, demogogue...

yep, those southerners are taking a good look at rush.

ha,ha,ha.

that''s the south for you, folks!

[mcv57]

I was a civil service whistleblower. I was fired with phony charges, and the civil service union showed me the door. Why? Because I reported fraud, waste and abuse at the Naval Shipyard, Norfolk, VA. The commander of the Norfolk Naval base did not do a thing. You see this government only serves itself!

In fact, when Justice Department took an interest in my case; nevertheless, the Norfolk Naval Base attorney challenged the Judge''s authority to hear my case. Needless, to say . . . the Judge found and excuse to dismiss the case. This is how corrupt the system has manafested itself. By the way, this happen before the sieze broken out in Iraq. Yes, I refuse to call it a war. This conflict is the Bushwacker''s little private sieze.

We need a revolution to restore our Constitution and hang the criminals in Washington.

"in the south you cannot be a non-believer and be elected to public office.

the church will not allow it."

You are wrong. You certainly can be a non-believer and be elected to public office in the south. You simply pretend to be pious - TV evangelists have been pulling it off for years!
