The scariest and most outrageous thing in this article is the part about Bush trying to blackmail congress into approving Bradbury as head of the OLC. It looks like he is maneuvering to set up a situation where he will not be held accountable for anything no matter what he does. Why is this not getting more attention in the press? This is outrageous! This is how we bumble obliviously along and suddenly wake up with an autocratic government and no civil liberties without knowing how we got there, as happened in Germany.

Agree. If I had the right to, I would apologize for booobs in Congress, but I don''t. I voted for a couple of them. That the Republicans have run this country into the ground so blatantly and so manically is horrible. That the Democrats have done so ga-dang little about it is a whole other level of horrible.

Trust me, the let-down of the trust of the American people, the globe, and even future generations by the current high-dollar trash in Washington has been felt across the political board.

Why is this lying piece of offal still walking around? Why isn''t he in jail!!---Because Americans are too morally bankrupt to insist on being told the truth...too timid to challenge authority...too arse-licking to think for themselves...too mealy-mouthed and mealy-minded to back a true oppostion party that would fight for his impeachment.

The Democrats won because people thought they opposed the war in 2006...now they have two war pigs running neck and neck for the presidential nomination and the House and Senate are run by corrupt figures who support the Regime.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle. Now do you think it is torture, Mr. Cheney?

Wouldn''t Cheney make just a first rate ***-tator? We could call him Saddam II.

The terrorists are right here in America, folks. Right here in America.

Neocon Goon Squad leader Cheney is more out of touch with America than is GW Bush. Just wait until we tie John McCain to the Neocon Goon Squad in the White House. There are not enough white people in the USA to get Joh McCain elected as president.

Exactly. If he thinks it is such a wonderful tool, let him try it out on himself, just like others in the government have done, and then let''s see how enthusiastic he is about using this torture technique.

Bush and Cheney should be tried as traitors and war criminals--plain and simple--it violates the Geneva convention, US and international law consider it illegal and torture--how much more thought needs to go into this???

If our government really believes that some use of waterboarding has been necessary in the past, and may be necessary in the future, then wouldn''t it be more intellectually honets for our whole society, if our government would acknowledge that waterboarding is a form of torture? If we as a society feel that we cannot accept torture under any circumstances, then we should not rationize that something whi IS torture, supposedly is not.
