Comments on: Justice Investigates Waterboard Approval

Ongoing Probe Into Bybee Memo Which Admin. Says Made Use Of Torture Technique Legal

[walt1944-2009]

The Great Emperor Bush II is upset that the Whimpo-crats in Congress are still pursuing the issue of the CIA using waterboarding on suspected "terrrrrrrorists", depite the Great Emperor''s assurances that waterboarding is just an advanced form of hygiene!

He has the support on this matter of his AG, who has adopted the "Sergent Shultz" position of "I know nothing, I see nothing, I hear nothing!", which is a position used frequently by the former AG, Alberto "the Great Gonzo" Gonzales. In fact, it is as if the Great Gonzo never left the Justice Department and that his spirit lives on there, much to the satisfaction of the Great Emperor Bush!

Still, the Great Emperor is becoming frustrated in his dealings with the Whimpo-crats on this matter and it is rumored that he is contemplating having the CIA "introduce" some Whimpo-crat congressmen to this "advanced form of hygiene" up close and personal!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!

Mukasey told Congress earlier this month that he would not pursue criminal charges against CIA officials who used waterboarding after relying on Justice Department guidance that the interrogation tactic was legal. He said Friday he did not believe the Bybee memo was politically motivated.

"I have no reason to believe that politics was involved in that or any other analysis," Mukasey said.
------------
Ignorance or "just following orders" is not an excuse for breaking the law and international treaties. Whether the Bybee memo was politically motivated or not is obfuscation by Mukasey to dodge the issue of the illegality of torture.

Torture is evil. Those who torture are evil. Those who condone torture, for whatever reason, are evil. Those who pretend that torture is NOT torture so they can condone it, are evil.

They think if they stretch it out long enough we will forget about it even if it after the election we should get them all and that Muskasey needs to go another stooge for Bush

"The Bush administration is the most contemptible organization on the planet."

I just thought that needed repeating!

The opinions were, unfortunately, merely a poorly disguised cover for committing a felony. Shame on the lawyers involved. They should be disbarred [or in the case of the one now on the bench, impeached].

Bush stopped this investigation before and he''ll stop it again. There''s a lot of criminal behavior he needs to keep covered up.

[sparkyguy]

Forget impeachment. Wait until they''re private citizens, and then start talking "war crimes".

How long is it going to take a Justice investigation into the actions of Justice employees to discover that they did no wrong? I suppose the investigation will drag on another year or so but 5 gets you 10 the final report clearing them of any wrong-doing has already been written. And the b*st*rds will get away with it again. Must be very frustrating being a Democrat these days.
