So this week in U.S. News Dick Cheney has been on his “cover my ass” tour making appearances on all these news shows to defend the Bush policies, particularly the ones dealing with torture. Obama has already stated that he is open to the prosecution of these crimes because if the US was indeed waterboarding prisoners and employing a host of other torture like tactics, which they were, NEWSFLASH that is torture. And according to the United Nations Convention Against Torture the practices employed by the CIA under the consent of the Bush administration officials were illegal. So now it is up to U.S. courts and prosecutors to prove that the memos were written with the intention to incite torture.
It is so funny to me how the U.S. wants to be the driving force behind putting these world rules into play about what is allowed and not allowed. However, when we break the rules we expect everyone to turn a blind eye and just let us do what we do without repercussions. I was honestly a little disappointed when Obama first seemed hesitant in giving the go ahead to prosecute these acts. I think how the U.S. moves on from this will be a big indicator of our future standing in the world and in our foreign relations. If we are honestly trying to clean up the foreign policy mess that Bush made I believe it is imperative for these acts to not go unpunished and for us to face the same responsibility as the rest of the world for these crimes.
Cheney should be the first one prosecuted with his lying, two faced, conniving ass! He insists that these tactics have kept us safe and were essential for our post 9/11 security. Just like how we went to fight a war against people who didn’t even attack us on 9/11, right Dick??? I am with Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen. He says, “The Obama administration ought to call Cheney’s bluff, if it is that, and release the memos.” Let’s see the memos and decide for ourselves whether harsh interrogations saved American lives.
And poor Nancy. This broad doesn’t know if she is coming or going! I am inclined to believe she may not be telling the whole truth!
“I was not briefed! I was just informed that the briefing had taken place.” Ok Nance, Soooo ummm even if this is the truth you aint feel the need to get briefed. I mean this is U.S. integrity we are talking about here. But this junk is getting messier and messier. Now she is flat out saying the CIA are some LIARS! Like they aint tell me what they were doing! Soooo we know the CIA aint going out like that. They responded, “Let me be clear. It is not our policy or practice to mislead Congress,” CIA Director Leon Panetta wrote in a message to agency employees that was released to the public. “That is against our laws and our values.” I honestly do not know who to believe because I do not believe the CIA is the most honest organization either.
All I have to say is this, NO immunity for ANYONE! They need to get to the bottom of this and punish them all! I am sick of poltitcal figures and government getting a slap on the wrist for committing major crimes meanwhile Ray-Ray’s in jail because he had a dime bag.
Call me a hater, but who gave her permission to speak on this??
It’s ok Beyonce, just stick to dancing and singing..
This post Piggy Backs off THIS!
I could not help but comment, after I watched the Chris Rock Special again for the 5th time.
Chris Rock explains, that the real reason black woman hate on black men dating out side of his race is due to the fact, that black women are not attracted to non black men.
I had to stop and really think about this. WRONG. I see hot men in all races. But to be real, what concerns me most is I am not sure how non black men view black women. In particular, I rarely ever get the mojo signs from a non black man, without me making my self SAFE.
SAFE as in making the first move. Even then, it does not work out well.
Also, its rare that I can walk into a room on non black men, or be on the street, and feel that they are checking me out or find me attractive. I do not think I am in their taste.
You see me I am voluptuous, yet petite, dark chocolate bup. I have thick thighs, Rotundness, and boobs. These are things not typical in the preference of some non black men.
Now me, I always been a person to think outside my race. My first crush was white boy. Blonde hair blue eyes. I have a thing for Indian men. I like Exotic features .I appreciate different looks. But I dunno, if I believe Non black man appreciate the unique features of everyday black women.
I mean, I know all men will reference Halle Berry, or dig video chicks. But what about the everyday black woman? Everyone was ranting on Sarah Palin (everyday white chick), but what about how HAWT Michelle O is?
Am I missing something? I rarely hear an appreciation, so real talk, Non Black men, do you think of black women as possibilities?
