Cheney admits war crimes and the government sanctioned media is expectedly quite

Jonathan Karl of ABC news "This Week" interviewed Dick Cheney on Valentines day.
Cheney admitted to being "The Man" who authorised Torture and harsh interrogation techniques that actually got one Terrorist free due to a unreliable "confession.
Not only did it allow a terrorist to go free... this torture did not produce one reliable piece of information ,caused the false raising of terror alerts and in my opinion actually made America more prone to attacks from Terrorists.
Cheney admits wanting harsher Techniques and was critical of Obama and his administration for actually following the Geneva Conventions outlawing of Torture and banning of the practise.
(I would like to note here that the Constitution that Cheney swore to uphold and defend when he took office also outlaws torture.)
Cheney admits that they had the justice departmental lawyers "fix" the law around his torture policies.
Not unexpectedly the mainstream media is quite and has not picked this up and ran with it. Obama has not had this man hauled to jail nor has he been indicted for War Crimes or treason.Obama just sits quietly by.
I have to note here that if it had been any other average American the media would not know how to shut up on this matter and the offending person would be in jail with America outraged.
But hey Cheney was a Vice President..(to be blunt a lying ass politician)and somehow the atrocities become "not so bad". So in America there is one set of laws for the rich and powerful and another for "We the People"
We the People cannot usually afford the PR campaigns to make crimes more acceptable to the consciousness of the many.
How the hell is this OK??? Are most Americans so narrow minded and small in heart that torture of a government declared enemy is OK as long as it doesn't happen to them or their loved ones?? Are they so naive and blind as to think that if they in power move the laws around to suite them that they can do this to any American they deem an enemy of the state? Are people so blind and whupped as to think that it would never happen to them or those they care about? Apparently so according to history. Isn't that what happened with Hitler and any other dictatorship? American solders have died and shed their blood to free people from this kind of tyranny and Americans turn their backs on this and act like it is nothing? Personally I am beyond outraged at the silence and the good ole boy mentality I see being practised here.
I just want you all to know that if this goes unchallenged then America is no longer the land of the free nor is it the home of the brave. It is instead the land of fascism and the home of the cowards and we might as well burn our Constitution for it will not have anyone left to stand and defend it.

Propaganda Fear Mongering Alert

Nine Senators have sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder stating that to investigate the CIA torture abuses would "invite another Terrorist attack".
When I got through muttering darkly about this garbage in writing the Senators dared to spout; I started writing.
click here to read article
Here are the nine who will become infamous for their propaganda fear mongering.

"The letter was sent to Holder by Senate Republican Whip Jon Kyl of Arizona, Sen. Kit Bond (R-Missouri), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama), ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and was also signed by Sens. Richard Burr (R-North Carolina), Saxby Chambliss (R-Georgia), Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah)."

NOTICE THEY ARE ALL REPUBLICANS!

This CIA mess leads directly back to Bush and Cheny and since they are talking 9/11 I just bet that they are concerned this will lead to another investigation regarding 9/11.
This is also Party politics arse covering, head ducking.... for the Republicons know that if this mess implicates their party they will NEVER get re-elected.

Please let the Attorney General know that WE The People have had enough of this mess and if your Senator is in that list.... Tell them that YOU DEMAND an investigation into this CIA torture mess. Tell them to stop supporting anti-Constitution,anti-American War Criminals!

Dear faith,
The subject line of this email isn't an admission of weakness. Rather, it is a cry of frustration. We have grown sick and tired of the Bush administration getting away with murder - figuratively, if not literally. And we are done watching Congress spin its wheels merely talking about it.The latest outrage? Earlier this week, Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) called for the establishment of a "Truth Commission" to look into various unconstitutional actions by the Bush administration. As Leahy described the commission, "such a process could involve subpoena powers and even the authority to obtain immunity from prosecutions for anything accept perjury in order to get to the full truth."We don't want the "truth." We want a full criminal investigation led by the Department of Justice, with prosecutions where it is found that the laws of the United States have been violated. If you agree, click on the following link to send an E-mail to the Department of Justice:http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=eTFIEKxg4/w4Pl/%2BdPElXjUkHzQ1jiATWhy should we waste our time looking for "the truth" when the man who produced the legal memo setting the stage for torture under President Bush, John Yoo, recently wrote in the Wall Street Journal that Bush -- on three separate occasions! -- authorized waterboarding, an interrogation technique universally recognized as torture? That is the truth. Now let's start the prosecution process.Why should we waste our time looking for "the truth" when we have known for years that the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program was conducted outside of the legal boundaries established by the FISA laws? That is the truth. Now let's start the prosecution process.We know Bush administration officials defied congressional subpoenas. Attorney General Michael Mukasey may have even violated the law by directing the U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia to ignore a statute providing that he "shall" bring a contempt citation issued by Congress to a grand jury. We don't need to go through the charade of watching Karl Rove defy congressional subpoenas again.We don't need the truth. We need the Justice Department to do its job and launch a criminal investigation. Please use the following link to ask Attorney General Eric Holder when he will start this process:http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=YIP5t2nHNIek%2B6tYi3wbflvvC6lT61voOnce you have sent your message, please forward this email widely to friends and family. In the alternative, you can use the "Tell-A-Friend" option on the AFC Web site that will appear after you have sent your message.Thank you so much for taking action.Steve FoxCampaign DirectorAmerican Freedom Campaign Action Fund
