Particularly discouraging is that it's not just Cheney and his ilk, but much of the Washington courtier class (government, media, and MIC all) that is covering for him and the CIA with obfuscation and lies. Which basically means that they are demanding that the King has clothes, and no one can tell them otherwise. This truly does set the stage for future atrocities that will be increasingly aimed at domestic dissidents, having refined their techniques on other purported enemies of the state. <br /><br />E.g., formerly liberal NPR is refusing STILL to call this torture.<br /><br />Nauseating, unpatriotic, immoral, outrageous. And aided and abetted by both major political parties. Hard not to feel that the Republic is on death's doorstep, since all the institutional tools for an advanced authoritarian state are now in place.

We are supposedly a nation of laws,yet in the light of recent events (torture report, Grand jury failures, political, corporate and financial criminality) the notion of "justice for all" has become meaningless. The Republic has lost its bearings, morally and legally, and has all the trappings of a Fascist/Corporate State or as the American political philosopher Sheldon Wolin has described it as inverted totalitarianism. War is our business and the American people are among its victims.Joe Hillnoreply@blogger.com
