Teakwoodkite, pardon me for not appreciating the finer points of military versus mercenary. I am not concerned about anything except their deeds and the effects of same. Anyone – ANYONE – who sets a policy of running over children and grandmothers, anyone – ANYONE – who issues such an order, and anyone – ANYONE – who follows such an order is a subhuman criminal who needs to be locked up, no matter who they are or under whose auspices they do it.

Black humor. They manufactured cases against these people to make us believe they are fighting a war on terror.

You have to see it to understand.

What a crime. What was he charged with?

After telling someone on this blog to watch The Power of Nightmares I decided to watch it again.

I laughed at certain points regarding people arrested in the US.
A lawyer for some of the accused showed a little drawing that a prosecution witness described as a bunker and airplanes. You’ll laugh outloud.
If you don’t want to see this documentary online you can buy the video.

Everyone should see it.

I really do not understand this sort of thinking at all.

I said ‘executing
“lawful orders” is not the prime concern to the civilian leadership’

The Iraq war is illegal.
Civilian leadership should be convicted under RICO and in the HAGUE for war crimes, from the head of the snake to it’s rattle.
That said, respectfully, I will not be the one to explain the difference between a Merc and the Armed Forces of the US and why it is insulting to think they are the same thing. Someone who knows first hand can explain it to you.

Cee – Yes, lots of people, including myself, were prepared for it to happen. After all, she’d received a multitude of death threats, and an attempted assassination was made on her life her first day back in Pakistan in October. While I was shocked at the news of her murder this week, I was not surprised. Was anyone?

oops…dam laptop…

Look at the Transparency in Government Act, where Obama teamed up with Republican Tom Coburn to pass legislation that put government spending programs on a searchable website for public access

Most of the critical data points are optional. Good luck using it to “follow the money” as Mr. Murder suggests. Would it have helped us when Rummy reprogramed budgets to fund the Bahrain Air Base prior to invading Iraq long before the AUMF?

That was classified. But Rummy testified in front of the House Armed Services and commited purgery.
The only thing transparent is the “Now you see now you don’t. Garbage in Garbage out.

Anyone care about impeaching Cheney, the REAL story worth talking about that will affect this country not a sniping diatribe and useless prattle (Shirin and Cee excepted)about either Hillary or Ms. Bhutto?

If you can’t get the electorate to pull your lever, you’ll never enjoy an opportunity to demonstrate your grasp of foreign policy or your vision of governance.

ALso comes in handy in dealing with other leaders, decision – makers and stakeholders, foreign and domestic.

Truly the Achilles Hell of American republican government.
