Not the Change we worked so hard to elect.

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION TO PROSECUTE
and Pass It On To all your friends
and all the groups to which you belong.

We as a nation cannot move forward until we deal with the criminality of Torture.

Obama and our Congressional Democrats will not be able to maintain absolute power unless they prosecute Bush’s Torturers.

PLEASE

Thanks for updating, I hadn’t seen this anywhere else. I’m looking forward to seeing Cheney’s bluff called.

Tena — one other thing — this report is also supposed to raise serious questions about the legality of the program. So it could also seriously shift the debate about how/whether to probe the torture program.

sgwhite – I get your point and I’ve gotten that part of it all along but to me it’s still totally backwards.

Half the country can poll in favor of elective murder – it’s still going to be illegal. Half the country needs to understand that expediency is not an excuse for committing a crime, dammit.

In matters because we aren’t dealing with theory but real world attitudes. If you look at polling half of the country thinks torture is called for in certain situations. Thats built on the belief that torture actually works. Proof that it didn’t would, in my opinion, significantly shift public opinion on the issue and help push us towards accountability. At least that is my hope. Now I for on have been someone in the past that said we should focus on the illegality of torture also. But its apparent now that our feckless cowardly Democrats will NEVER move on accountability for torture unless and until they have the cover of polling data that shows the majority of Americans want it. It is what it is.

Ok, here’s the thing: If this so-called “Holy Grail” of torture said instead that it had been wildly successful, how would that change anything?

There is a bright line between legal and illegal. If I want to kill someone, and I shoot them dead, by god, that worked.

What the hell difference does this report make, besides ABSOLUTELY NONE?
