The American people have heard President Bush and his spokespeople say many times that the U.S. government does not engage in torture.

Whether Bush was believed or not is another story -- especially in light of the photographic evidence of the abuse of prisoners in Abu Ghraib. It's understood that many of the photos are too sadistically graphic to be made public.

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Well, damn it, when are the democrats, Pelosi, Reid and the rotten class hierarchy, in the democratic party, Hillary, especially Obama going to demand immediate impeachment, based on sefl admitted crimes, and secret documents of these tortures.

We have illegal aggressions by both Israel and Amerika against Syria, illegal torture, the most recent example, the Al Jazeera cameraman held for 7 years, tortured and finally released with no charges, renditioned to Guantanamo, and then renditioned to Somalia, without the ability to sue these Nazis in court. Obama, is especially a fundamental failure, as he has said nothing about Amerika's war crimes, and refused to impeach. Everyperson who fails to uphold the constiutition, to impeach war criminals should automatically be impeached, and if running for Presidential office should automatically be disqualified, and also impeached afterwards for failing to speak out.

We do not torture. Unless it is in our interest.
We do not lie. Unless it is in our interest.
I would like to know what their interests are.

Imagine a poster, where a republican wears the brown shirt, and cap, of the Nazis, wearing not a swaztika armband but with an elephant logo, or donkey logo, around their brown shirt, proudly holding the nationalist flag, and the bottom of the poster says.....It is not Fascism if we do it. A picture that says it all.
