I refer specifically to the statements of Fox's Mr. Peters who advocated (with no apparent stomach trouble) that the Taliban execute the private in their custody to save the U.S. various "headaches." I'm keenly embarrassed that scum like Peters could ever hold a command.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15418129339565606380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-43644235812206362432009-07-20T19:58:07.342-04:002009-07-20T19:58:07.342-04:00re - " It’s possible that the military comman...re - " It’s possible that the military commanders he spoke to knew this, and didn’t pass the orders along to the pilots in the air.

The chickens are coming home to roost from the operatives that stole the election for Bush/Cheney 2000 in Florida and 2004 in Ohio.

It was hard to decide just which one would suit you best."<br /><br />Sometimes I find myself exclaiming "They should build a new circle of hell for these guys!", but I've said it so often recently that Hell Inc. is going to have to acquire some extra real estate to accommodate them all.<br /><br />Hell can wait.

This idea of letting the past go is wrong. As you said here, it just leaves the door open for further abuses of power by the next gang who takes over. Cheney must answer for his abuse of power and we must prove that nobody is above the law.<br />The crimes of the past administration need to be seen in the light of day by all of us. I have no political axe to grind here. I don't support either animal gang, not the donkey one nor the elephant one. They are neither of them house broken. They both tramp through the flower beds and crap in my yard.<br />Great article sir.<br />charliecharlie ehlenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584863034307604847noreply@blogger.com
