What the fuck does Cheney's alleged charitable contributions have to do with the no bid contracts he improperly shoved thru the Pentagon? What do they have to do with the troops electrocuted by shoddy work in Iraq?

Do you dispute the fact that prior to the Itaq War Halliburton was on the verge of bankruptcy due to Cheney's ill-advised purchase opf asbestos-related industries as CEO at Halliburton, purchases in which he failed to do due diligence.

STFU til you have a clue what you're talking about.

Intrigued?? Read on, my friends.........

When Richard Bruce Cheney was a student at Natrona County High School in Casper, Wyoming, his girlfriend Lynne was a baton twirler, a big deal in 1950s Wyoming. To begin her routine, Lynne would set both ends of a baton on fire and throw it in the air while her boyfriend stood inconspicuously off to the side holding a coffee can filled with water. When Lynne was finished with her pyrotechnic act, she would pass her flaming baton to Cheney, who, while the audience applauded and Lynne curtsied, would quietly douse the fires by sticking each end of the baton in the coffee can.

Any questions about safe words?

In 1983, the Reagan Justice Department prosecuted a Texas sheriff and three of his deputies for waterboarding prisoners to get them to confess to crimes.

The deputies were sentenced to four years in prison and the sheriff got a 10-year sentence. Yet that case is not cited in the “torture” memos DOJ released that authorized the CIA to waterboard detainees

A lawyer crafting an opinion has a duty of candor that requires that he identify and distinguish adverse precedent that a court might consider controlling. In essence, Yoo was free to articulate whatever cockeyed theories he wanted. He was not free to suppress the existence of Supreme Court authority that went in the opposite direction. But that's exactly what he did.

At the trial of the Texas sheriff, Scott Woodward, an Assistant U.S. Attorney, said the prisoners who were subjected to waterboarding were not “model citizens” but they were still “victims” of torture.

And for halfwits like NotOrbitBoy, here's a little clue from the Supreme Court:

“Many things-beating with a rubber truncheon, water torture, electric shock, incessant noise, reruns of ‘Space 1999’-may cause agony as they occur yet leave no enduring injury. The state is not free to inflict such pains without cause just so long as it is careful to leave no marks.” Williams v. Boles, 841 F.2d 181, 183 (CA7 1988).

as cited in Hudson v. McMillian 503 U.S. 1, 112 S.Ct. 995U.S.La.,1992.

well, of course, the first thing is, it doesn't, but even if it did, a mask and a 40 cal. automatic work pretty well for liberating funds from financial institutions, but there's this troublesome LAW against bank robbery.

Even it torture worked (which it doesn't) it is against the law and punishable by prison terms of up to 20 years.

Hey, if you want to torture, go knock yourself out . . . but then don't come whining about repercussions . . . as Baretta told us:

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time . . . HUH! . . Don't Do It!!

Besides being the offspring of assholes, what qualifications does she have to discuss anything?

perhaps that explains the Apollonian beacon of hope . . . . the 60's offically ended at Kent State University on May 4, 1970 . . . speaking of cultural darkness

he will deserve whatever punishment he reaps as a result. Put the man on trial, bring out the evidence, have courage and faith the American people and the jury will understand the torture regime of George Bush, Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld will be an eternal blot on our nation unless it is exposed to the light of day.

was predictable .. . but it still stings. The scale of the sellout: from claims of state secrets to failure to prosecute clear cut incidences of torture to continuing to fight the Valerie Plame lawsuit to preventive detention it certainly appears Obama has been drinking the National Security Kool-Aid.

For perspective:

3,000 Americans die each month due to hand guns. Governmental response is to pass concealed carry laws.

3,000 Americans die each month on the highways. Governmental response was to raise the speed limit from 55 to 70.

8,000 - 10,000 die each month from medical mistakes (AMA figures). Governmental response is to cap damage awards in medical malpractice cases.

9/11 was a one time event claiming 3,000 American lives. And the government response is to throw the Constitution out the window, to allow criminal torture and the deaths of 100 detainees, illegal warrantless wiretaps and increased surveillance over every American.

And Obama has not done jack shit to return us to the Rule of Law.

JFK = PT 109

LBJ was in congress during WWII

Nixon served in WWII (no combat)

Gerald Ford served in the Navy in WWII and saw action in the Pacific Theatre

Reagan served during WWII, but he was in the US making Army movies

Bush Sr. was a WWII pilot, got shot down

I want my fucking constitutional rights and I want equal justice under the law, which means CHENEY GOES TO JAIL FOR TORTURE.

WTF is up with this wimp-assed brother?
