I want to hear that unhinged, passionate kind of hatred that was directed at Bush for eight years straight

Hate to burst your bubble, you obnoxious shithead, but the criticism of Bush was neither unhinged nor hatred. It was based upon action after action by a criminal mind, including but not limited to:

1. Ignoring the threat of al-Qaida and allowing the US to be hit be terrorists

2. Lying about weapons of mass destruction and a relationship between Iraq and al-Qaida thus justifying invading Iraq

3. Refusing to negotiate with the Taliban to obtain the turnover of bin Laden to a third party country

3. Ordering `1,000's of felonies by means of warrantless wiretaps, in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978

4. Polluting the DoJ with totally incompetent political appointees

5. Ignoring the warnings of Gen. Shinseki and others on required troop strength

6. Allowing bin Laden to escape in Afghanistan and invading Iraq, causing the deaths of 700,000 Iraqis

7. Katrina

8. Totally failing to perform oversight of regulatory processes leading to the economic meltdown and bailouts

9. Pouring $2,000,000,000,000.00 down rat holes in the desert; money that could have funded Social Security for 75 years; and

10. etc, etc, etc, etc, etc

Please just shut the fuck up now.

A cursory look at the precedent setting Us state secrets case - United States v. Reynolds, the Air Force lied to the court in order to prevent an accident report from being introduced into evidence, claiming secrets would be revealed.

In spite of the fact the Court learned later that its decision was based on fraud, the state secrets precedent was established.

Look through the Constitution and let me know where it says anything about the Executive's power to invoke state secrets in order to thwart the judiciary.

She is an Afghan politician who has been called "the bravest woman in Afghanistan." As an elected member of the Wolesi Jirga from Farah province, she publicly denounced the presence of what she considers warlords and war criminals in the parliament. ANd here's what she says about the current situation in Afghanistan:

The truth about Afghanistan has been hidden behind a smoke screen of words and images carefully crafted by the United States and its NATO allies and repeated without question by the Western media.

You may have been led to believe that once the Taliban was driven from power, justice returned to my country. Afghan women like me, voting and running for office, have been held up as proof that the U.S. military has brought democracy and women's rights to Afghanistan.

But it is all a lie, dust in the eyes of the world.

The United States has tried to justify its occupation with rhetoric about "liberating" Afghan women, but we remain caged in our country, without access to justice and still ruled by women-hating criminals. Fundamentalists still preach that "a woman should be in her house or in the grave." In most places it is still not safe for a woman to appear in public uncovered, or to walk on the street without a male relative. Girls are still sold into marriage. Rape goes unpunished every day.

then I suggest he should have hired a lawyer, showed up for the trial, and demonstrated his innocence. Otherwise he can shut his fucking pie hole.

In this case, the defendants had ample notice, but they refused to show up, and the US refused to extradite them for trial.

In the mid-80's I had a consulting job in Michigan and was put up by the company at the Hillsdale Conference Center. The campus was awash with the most appalling right-wing brats of privilege, and is the proud alma mater of Erik "Mr. Blackwater/Xe" Prince . . . a known war criminal.

Second thing is, perhaps before this self-aggrandizing dweeb disses someone for disregard of human life, he might care to consider the Muslims have killed, what 8,000 Americans total? Which is about how many Americans die EACH MONTH due to medical mistakes. Or handguns plus automobiles.

On the other hand, at last count, the US has proximately caused, according to Opinion Research Business, the deaths of approximately 1.2 million (1,220,580). This estimate is the highest number published so far. From the poll margin of error of +/-2.5% ORB calculated a range of 733,158 to 1,446,063 deaths.

Not to mention Afghanistan, of course.

so nice to hear from the hydrocephalic Silenced, wgsalter and zorkna. Why don't you warwimp creeps just go over to Strata-sphere and enjoy the delusional cognitively dissonant chatter there so reminiscent of your own?

is United States v. Reynolds. In that case, the Air Force intervened when families of dead airmen sued the manufacturer of B-29's. The Air Force said the accident report contained secret information that would damage our national security if admitted in court. The Supreme Court agreed.

The accident report was later inadvertently released, and it turned out to have contained no secret information whatsoever, so the leading case is based upon a fraud upon the court.

I keep reading the Constitution to see where it mentions state secrets . . .

QED.

You know . . . if a teenage girl dies in a tragic car accident . . . perhaps her vagina could be donated to a more mature individual. Or, if after exhaustive study to find the PERFECT™ vagina, perhaps it could be cloned in laboratory facilities so that all could benefit.

Then again, shy-of-the-knife ladies could allow their husbands to frequent surrogate vaginas . . . usually available at titty bars and crack cocaine neighborhoods . . .

a cure for "old guy butt"??

Since she was (is) apparently unaware that paying for personal legal bills with campaign funds is out of bounds . . . can we re-examine who paid for that $500,000.00 lake house in Dogpatch North? The house built with the same materials as the $15,000,000.00 hockey rink. By some of the same contractors and suppliers who worked on Ted Stevens' house.
