The Art of Political Sacrifice and Science of Cannibalizing Leaders
Bush's criminal junta is caught destroying evidence of lies about crimes against humanity, crimes committed as part of an illegal war based on lies. The cover up continues as I type, and we don't know how many murders, rapes, waterboardings, etc. are on video tapes, but we are being told by the liars that the videos are destroyed. Yeah, right, like we are going to believe the junta about anything. They would have us believe the destruction of evidence of torture, if it happened, was to protect lower-level personnel. Well, if it was destroyed, it was to protect the liar who proclaim that it did not happen.

The criminal junta was obligated by law to inform Congress of its intelligence gathering activities and methods, fully and accurately, and anything less is a crime, lying to Congress. The chair of House Intelligence, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, "was briefed on interrogation techniques the Administration was considering using in the future. The Administration advised that legal counsel for the both the CIA and the Department of Justice had concluded that the techniques were legal." If, at any point in the process Congress was not fully informed and truthfully informed, then the junta is guilty of a CRIME, lying to Congress.

It now seems apparent that just such a transgression occurred, and furthermore evidence that proves the crime is reputedly destroyed. So, we have a crime and someone must be punished.

I have an idea. Let's sacrifice our leader to the Gods of Democracy, and eat of her flesh to appease the Gods of Democracy, so that this won't happen again. Just like those attractive women who get raped--if they would just try to look ugly and smelled really bad, then they wouldn't have to worry--we have to blame someone, so let's blame our leader.

Or, how about this idea. Let's be scientific and democratic. Let's behave as if we believed in Democracy and due process, and not rush to judgment until we have actual evidence. Let's stand on principles like innocence until proven guilty. Let's behave as if we have a Constitution and everyone has rights.

Let's NOT TORTURE the Speaker of the House. Let's not become like the criminal junta.

1. Of course you're right
The rush to judgment is depressing. It indicates a real weakness; that the left can be manipulated by the MSM. But you might as well forget trying to get through to the mob that wants to tar and feather Pelosi on this one. They've already decided.
