Christian Democrats in the United States
Domestic Issues - Personal Abuse The United States suffers from severe pain that all people (consciously or unconsciously) try to hide — sexual and violent abuse. These censored experiences are shared by more people than you'd care to imagine, and an unbelievable number of children, and permeate our current struggle for dominance and authority in our daily lives. We challenge all Americans to set the lamp of truth on its stand, and let it shine everywhere, because God sees into all of our dark places. In terms of specific policy, we advocate longer sentences, lifetime national registration and real-time position tracking for sex offenders, and use of medical treatments to prevent recidivism. We also should empower our law enforcement to investigate our citizens who travel overseas to commit these abuses, because America is supposed to set an example for the world. Furthermore, we advocate increase of hospice care oversight to stop senior abuse in our homes and care institutions. Subscribe to Posts [Atom]

So for these blokes who have been in Guantanamo for eight years, subjected to water boarding and humiliation, isolation and resentment, the only purpose Cheney, Rove and his crew had for continuing such treatment was to have a punching bag upon which the the nation can pummel our collective psychic anger. That way they riled up a certain threatening set of the population with high blood pressure to be angry at "liberals" who call to close Guantanamo because it is pointless, disgusting and undignified, not befitting the character of the United States.
Cheney seems like a hurt bully kicked out of the school yard. Why does anyone even care what this guy has to say? Why is he on T.V. at all? Cheney - shut up and go shoot some ducks. Are you trying to prove North Korea right, that America is a corrupt empire who tortures prisoners of war without even formulating an excuse of a tactical advantage?
Cheney lies through his teeth to get you to acquiesce to torture. But apparently from the facts he only wants to torture people because hurting people gets him off.
If you allow the government to torture prisoners of war, if you allow them to take them prisoner and lay death upon populations without any oversight, record, or accountability for doing wrong, then they will do so for no good reason.
The dungeons of antiquity and of our modern day exercise a part of the mind that can be put to better use if abandoned entirely - as when the locks of the prison opened up for the saints. One might characterize the mental pattern of fear, paranoia, and vengeance exhibited by Dick Cheney as the co-habitation of Cheney's mind by a demon, though a more rigorous scientific investigation of his abnormal psychology would chase away that mystic shadow and reveal some clinical psychological pattern from which Cheney feels unable to break free.
Well, I feel for you Cheney, I been angry at things too, but I still revulse at the idea of torturing people for anything. We can learn a lot from the scriptures, especially the over-arching message that if we have faith, God will provide everything we need and will bless all the world.
deception of torture by cheney et al
Repeatedly the fascist faker group in the republican party have made the argument that aggressive interrogation (infliction of pain and fear of death) is necessary to save lives. But even if that were true, and I'm not sure how anyone would be in a position to know that, it would only be true for a short with this kind of adversary in a war. After a while people in the networks re-group, shuffle around, and are often duped decoys who think they have real plans, but do not. In the end they feel the moment is right for them to die and they improvise. It's not a complicated strategy, but it is one that makes information's usefulness short-lived.So for these blokes who have been in Guantanamo for eight years, subjected to water boarding and humiliation, isolation and resentment, the only purpose Cheney, Rove and his crew had for continuing such treatment was to have a punching bag upon which the the nation can pummel our collective psychic anger.
