  In search of great Americans...

  During Senator Pat Roberts chairmanship of the U.S.Senate Intel Committee it was plainly evident Senator Jay Rockefeller was the willing and enabling "opposition party enabler and victim" who let Sen.Roberts run wide and long far too often in ways that could only have pleased the Bush/Cheney WH and GOPer party hacks in WashDC.

  Now with the Senate Intel Committee under his chairmanship the "excuse" of not being chairman or having "real power" has been taken away. Results from this? Waiting. Still waiting. Umm...waiting some more.

  So putting more DEMS in WashDC does matter? Or not?

  Meanwhile how many times has G.W.Bush claimed in any number of places and forums that the U.S.A. does not torture? The answer to that question being more than once or twice. So when one reads now about videos being destroyed that evidently would clearly show Americans doing torture where does this lead to?

  Americans do not torture?

  Americans do not torture but video evidence exists(existed?) of Americans torturing?

  Americans do indeed do torture but video of such conduct will be kept hidden or be destroyed to support the do not torture claims?

  Americans do torture and do videos of this taking place for reasons that later do not protect or preserve these videos from being expunged or destroyed?

  So what is being protected here?

  American credibility?

  American principles?

  American international political integrity of stature?

  Not likely.

  So it must be more about who is being protected.

  Which leads back to the common ongoing theme of WashDC rot and decay.

  Republican Senator Pat Roberts endorsed that rot and decay.

  Democrat Senator Jay Rockefeller endorses this rot and decay.

  Meanwhile abuse/ignore of the rule of law,obstruction of justice,destruction of evidence and acquiescence to this taking place are all present. Continue to be present.

  Senator Rockefeller...do the job you were elected to do.

  Rule of Law is better than rule by a unfettered monarch or the likes of a Hitler,Mobutu or what passes for rulers in Myanmar these days but without clear lines of law abide enforcement and real,meaningful consequence and penalty for not being law abiding the above examples of Non-rule of Law practioners are where this goes too.

  Clearly G.W.Bush has issues with telling the truth or perhaps finding truths and facts to begin with. A great American President G.W.Bush plainly is not. A great American? I do not think of him as being one.

  Senator Rockefeller? How about you? A great American?

  Or do you run with the Hitler,Mobutu and Myanmar Junta types?
