Killer Docs

Anonymous, I wonder if the docs that help perfect our torture techniques at gitmo also find that they enjoy their sadistic work.

-- ZippyDC

That's it. We are "torturing" down at Gitmo. With the use of sadistic doctors in that process. Just like the Nazis did, and as Saddam did.

Please. Can anyone promise me that the next Democratic candidate for President will run on a platform that the U.S. military is pretty much like the Nazis and Saddam? I certainly hope so, for the benefit of all of us Republicans.

Well then that's the solution

Set these guys off against the abortion clinic bombers. May the most inflammable man win.

Isn't that the point? That the monstrous "tally" in that regard has the Islamofascists ahead in the count, by about 500,000 to about 3? And that in the last ten years or so, the count might be something like 480,000 to 0? What is the world spending on abortion rights-related security? When was the last abortion clinic bombing, anyway? Was there ever a suicide attack on an abortion clinic? When was the last time an abortion clinic bombing was not solved by law enforcement, and the perpetrator(s) brought to justice? Is there any nation on earth where an abortion-clinic-bomber might enjoy some form of de jure or de facto asylum? Are there any abortion clinic bombers who enjoy state-sponsored adulation of the kind that Hamas now offers to terrorists? Or that Saddam offered to Palestinian suicide bombers? Or that Iran now offers to Iraqi insurgents?

Isn't all of that the profound, qualitative difference between the Pre- and Post- 9/11 Worlds?

Nearly 3,000 dead on American soil as a result of the terroist plane attacks. That compares to what threat in abortion-clinic bombings?

Now, all I need to know is where do I get the dinner-party lists for NPR's Michelle Norris, Brooke Gladstone, Terry Gross, Dan Schorr, Juan Williams, etc. Or how about PBS's Bill Moyers, or Dan Rather and the grand ol' man himself, Walter Cronkite?

Are you all reading the same New York Times, listening to the same BBC and NPR, and watching the same PBS that I am? Are you serious? A right-wing media bias?

I cringe at the sight of the TSA's dumb, overweight, tattooed, pierced, spike-haired, nearsighted and/or athsmatic clock punchers who would have a hard time directing freshman orientation much less airport security. I remember when the Republicans wanted a paramilitary-style force to staff the TSA. But the Democrats wanted more public-sector union members.

Setting aside the TSA, there is a much bigger reason to feel rage, however, and of course it is not aimed at the Bush Administration. No, the people to be angry at are Mohammed Atta, and Shoe Bomber Richard Reed. And Bin Laden, and Al Zawahiri. With any luck at all, at the very moment that I am having to remove my shoes and belt, Richard Reed is being raped with cattle prod somewhere in a prison basement. And Bin Laden is slowly dying in a cave in Afghanistan. After all, I don't remember anyone in the Bush Administration hijacking any airliners.

So why again is Garrison making cracks about the Administration and security?

Intstead of using DDT to kill mosquitoes, and effectively wipe out malaria, the greens and the left have opposed the wider (safe) reintroduction of DDT. As a result of the junk science left over from the days of Rachel Carson, millions have died of malaria.

So now, according to rebecalouise, our overthrow of the Taliban in Afghanistan is just as bad as the invasion of Iraq. Wasn't there a time when prinicpled Democrats said, "We agreed with Afghanistan. Iraq is just distracting us from what we need to do in Afghanistan..."?

This is the left's real answer to the war on terrorism. Surrender militarily. Treat it as a crime problem. "Dialogue" with extremist Islam. Tell that one to the voters when and if they attack the U.S. again.

With a new Democratic administration, pursuing a "law-enforcement" approach to terrorism, we'll be more likely to catch bin Laden?

Will they read him a Miranda warning in Arabic?

Will the ACLU defend him?

I don't know for sure, but I expect that the way that we did it was in part through military intel that we'd never want to expose in a courtroom, and in part through cooperation with sometimes-odious military personnel in Pakistan. There are no perfect, easy solutions. But of course Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld told you that a long time ago. You may need to take better notes in the future.

Anyway, I am quite comfortable with our retaining this guy in a military brig somewhere as long as the nation remains threatened by people like this.

What do you think we should do with this guy? Asign him counsel from the Legal Services Corporation?

And let the President get back to work.

You gotta be kidding me, Joan Walsh! Did you burst out laughing while you were typing?

You ran with this story, and missed the one in which "liberal gay activist" Rosie O'Donnell was drawing a moustache on the picture of Elizabeth Hasselbeck? And you're scolding the President for rude, juvenile, ill-tempered meanness?

It was useful to hear her say that upon arriving in Washington, D.C., her mother (Lousiana Democrat Lindy Boggs, the wife of the late Louisiana Democrat Hale Boggs) was befriended by the wives of then-Senators Johnson and Gore, "and that the families have remained close ever since."

Indeed.

I am eagerly awaiting Helen Thomas' sympathetic recollections of another gracious First Lady from Texas, Laura Bush.
