Eleven-Year Machiavellian Plot?
Just a thought – a wicked, evil little thought:
Was the entire Clinton impeachment manufactured to insure permanent Republican immunity?
I’m starting to think they impeached a President over a BJ just to ensure that all future Republican Presidents could literally get away with murder.
They knew that Democrats (being fair-minded, decent human beings – unlike themselves) would hesitate to go after a successor for fear of the appearance of “retribution.”
Fuck that. This is not a partisan issue. These are war crimes. When I read that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was waterboarded 183 times in March 2003, I felt sick to my stomach.
I felt the same sickness I felt on 9/11.
Not because he was an innocent citizen, like the victims of 9/11. I’m sure a lot of the detainees (but not all) are/were not. I felt that way because we, the American citizens as a whole, were the innocent victims here. This monstrosity was done in our names. Americans are not animals.
I am NOT okay with my government making me one.
And I am not okay with immunity for anyone on this. Neither is the U.N. I’ve sent the following quote to my senators, congressman, the DOJ and White House. I’m trying to figure out what else I can do. This cannot stand.
CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE
and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading
Treatment or PunishmentArticle 12
Each State Party shall ensure that its competent authorities proceed to a prompt and impartial investigation, wherever there is reasonable ground to believe that an act of torture has been committee in any territory under its jurisdiction.I believe there is more than enough reasonable ground here.
This is not a partisan issue, this is justice.
Please clean this stain on our national reputation. If we do not, it means that the US condones torture. I, for one, DO NOT. Please represent our people by investigating.
