US employees have been getting away with mass torture since the 1950s. All the faux shock of "liberals" like Glen is to me nearly equivalent to the republican claim that there is no torture.

Enter now Sarah Palin with very encouraging comments that lead one to believe that she is indeed planning to do what she must: build an independent conservative movement and take this nation back from the liberals which now control both parties.Thanks liberals, for provoking Sarah into the national scene while vetting that family at the same time.
That about sums everything up: War Crimes are heinous and intolerable acts that all decent people reject; "anyone suspected of war crimes should be thoroughly investigated"; and War Criminals must not be allowed in any positions of authority . . . . except when the War Crimes in question are committed by Americans, in which case all investigations and accountability must be blocked and those who defended and even approved them are perfectly welcomed in our highest positions of authority (including, ironically, overseeing our war in Afghanistan)
Well, yeah. The bombing of London, or even Guernica, was a hideous war crime.
Dresden? Munich? Hiroshima? Valid military targets.
And that was the "good" war.

So, why is Obama not going after the bad guys?
It's a lousy strategy, but my guess is that he is concentrating on health care and the economy.
There are a lot of noisemakers who will go medieval on him (and who will be helped no end by their little buddies in the MSM) if he were to do stuff that could remotely be painted as disloyal to the military or the intelligence community. (It was no accident that Carter was defeated for a second term; he basically declared war on teh Company.)
Yeah, it's disappointing, and I'm strongly suspicious of Rahmbo, but Obama is really as pragmatic a guy as you could imagine, for better or worse.

Prosecutions won't happen, and I can think of two simple reasons:
1) National security, used as the blanket method for denying defendants access to exculpatory material (on what may be valid grounds, and yet...there goes the prosecution....)
2) Jury nullification: it's "our" boys (mostly white) against "their" terrorists (mostly brown). Do the math. How many times do they acquit OJ before it's not such a good idea?

I don't believe it. The example is that Elliot Abrams was committing felonies in the WH 6 years after Halderman and Erlichman were sentenced to jail.
Furthermore, the example of the Iran Contra prosecutions shows that the US judicial system will refuse to expose republican crimes and judges will commit open interference in order to protect the Federalist Society Dream.
The cause of torture is a government that advocates torture. There is always someone ready to torture given permission.

That will probably depend on the definition used for excellence, and the individual. I've seen one or two people who could pick up a different type instrumentalist's ax and play it for the first time almost as well as the person trained on it. It seems to me that those 10000 hours might apply more reliably to the 'Late Bloomers' Gladwell wrote about in the New Yorker last fall iirc. Imo.

There was a time for many months when Mlle was rightly terrified of her ex showing up. However, I've made 14 visits and he's never been there. We both plan to see Maddy as soon as possible.
One of the stumbling blocks has come to light: Mlle's currently ex SO was opposed to her visiting her daughter because he worried she'd go back to her ex. After saying this, I think Mlle laughed for about 5 minutes. She said, don't worry, I'm not laughing with you, I'm laughing at you.

i cant begin to figure what a low life senator ensign is to have an affair with a friend's wife and start it on the night they came over for comfort after their home was burgled.

Gromit, there's a possibility we might be able to see her tomorrow for a little while. Not guaranteed yet, of course. But if it becomes available, we're taking it

Heh, it's a miracle. After not having any friends for years, all of a sudden, the supermodel has friends all over the place. Of course, it still finds time to come here and be nasty. What a hostess!

So much more civil than seeming to reciprocate, then squeezing his nuts until his eyes cross and he passes out.

And then after Gold's Gym trained me in the methodology, I was able to shatter -every single joint-. Ooopa!
yes but what if the fingers were just ***stretching naturally*** ENTENDING IF YOU WILL--- into the softest inner thigh area????????????'

i'm quite sure that when the matching coffins and sex tubes come out then zebra bones will be the least of it.
especially when hubby finishes studying the book of corinthians the senator gave him to 'ponder' and wanders into the next room to see what the squealing is all about.

Lots of residents of red states (in the South, mainly... such as many of them are) are unfairly maligned, here.

Molly Ivins always considered TX 'the great state.' She had a great sense of humor regarding its peculiarities, but her love for her home state was boundless.

I will donate $100 to the charity of choice of the first person to get Bobo to answer the question: Why did you let him leave his hand there? I've watched the tape and Bobo had too many at lunch, but that only means that he was too honest.

It was already too crowded when I moved away 16 years ago. (Not why I moved, btw.)

She called that love a harmless affliction she wouldn't wish on her worst enemies. I've often had reason to agree with her.

I has had all I can stands and I can't stands any more!
End of June, the power supply on my Mac Dual Processor G4 died. It's going to cost me about US$140 or so for a rebuilt and guaranteed replacement.
Since then, I've been using an older Mac with a modest G4 upgrade and OS 9. For whatever reason, I can't get a CD/RW or DVD/RW drive to work in it, or I would have had OS X or a Linux of some kind installed on it by now. OS 9 works fine for email and using the web. However, there are NO browsers that support any manner of killfile under OS 9.
Ordinarily, I would just keep scraping up the odd buck or two il I had enough for the replacement power supply.
However, I must confess that I have had it with these motherfucking trolls on this motherfucking blog.
Therefore, the PayPal begging bowl is out for anyone who feels so inclined to toss a few coins my way. Any surplus funds will be donated to my favorite local charity, the New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans.
PayPal ID is: cht@gis.net
Thanks in advance!
Jeffraham, given your circumstances, the only thing I'll have from you is your best wishes for my new power supply. I've been in your position, and you need to take care of yourself and your cats!

Someone upthread called Glenn Greenwald a liberal. Just for the record - at least as near as I can tell - he's never described himself as such, and in fact he seems to take great pains to obscure whatever actual political views he hold, other than those related to civil liberties. He is pretty much an absolutist on this one topic, and he has no problems publishing in places like American Conservative magazine.
Some describe him as vaguely libertarianish; dunno, could be. FWIW, he has also been favorably featured libertarian publication Reason, and also criticized there (e.g., some brouhaha involving libertarian Cathy Young I cannot fully recall now).
