KUCINICH MOMENT - Cheney Impeachment To House Judiciary Committee

Fascinating that corporate media and certain progressive blogs aren't carrying this story.

Reading the Rolling Stone article, I'm horrified at the conduct of the American soldiers who captured and had custody of this boy. He WAS just a BOY!! 15 and looked as young as 13, and they mistreated him that way?! What kind of monsters are these guys?

Bush says "We don't torture." Yeah, right. Sure sounds like torture to me.

"What kinds of monsters are these guys?" posted by dasher

Well, they're the kinds of monsters the USA breeds, under-educates, indoctrinates, then arms to the teeth before dispersing them to the four corners of our earth where they’re instructed to kill indiscriminately at the slightest whiff of an imagined threat and where they’re trained to destroy everything in their path with a ferocity not seen since Genghis Khan's hordes swept through Eurasia - all the time self-servingly bragging loudly about their good intentions.

That's the kinds of monsters they are, dasher.

Thank gawd they don't blow up Buddha statues, because that would define them as cowering, evil, anti-social, uncivilized murderers instead of the beneficent, square-jawed, resolute providers of "de Mock Race, See!" they're usually soft-lensed as in your sadistic, propagandistic, xenophobic media.

But back to the fate of young Khadr: What has happened to this boy/now/man is beyond evil – first through his father’s teachings and since through the full weight of the American fascists’ planned destruction of his personality and physical health - their years-long brutalization of his body and brain, courtesy of Israeli "research". (Oh damn! Did I say that out loud?)

His mistreatment defines Amerika – a country of thugs, torturers and murderers, (along with their enablers and apologists) – a country with no respect for law and an insatiable hunger for murky vengeance at the expense of any thing that might suggest weakness to a bully recording their behaviour. (Remember Fallujah? Or have you all already forgotten that bloody stain on your collective conscience? I certainly haven’t. Nor have billions of others.)

Has she ever had a real job before? Has she ever run for any political office (school board, precinct captain, dog catcher), formulated policy, actually practiced law? Isn't she a dilettante (sp?), just waltzing in and taking a plum political spot without really knowing anything about the job or the hard work it requires to become a senator, much less the hard work it takes to be an effective senator? Like her or loathe her, Hillary Clinton had a history of real work and policy formulation, and she actually ran for the senate seat and was elected. Twice.
