It is just as inhumane as the Nazi experimentations, even though they weren't going for the 'final solution'. Or maybe they were.... what else do you call invading and bombing an innocent population?
We just didn't get to have the neat knee-high boots and the exciting rallies with the cool flags...
Actually, the NSA's warrantless wiretapping of Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA), resulting in later public misrepresentation of her conversation with a "suspected Israeli agent" (read: TV producer of the Power Rangers, American citizen, major Democratic donor) reminded me of a certain novel in which the TV's watched the people. That story didn't end so well.
Don't worry about the lack of jackboots. Some equivalently cool symbol will emerge soon, I'm sure.
The Harman story has evolved even since I wrote that above. At this rate, it may be hours or even (Dawg forbid) days before we know what really happened. This morning, she was publicly arguing with Bill Keller over what she did or did not tell the NYT. This afternoon... well, I haven't read the news yet. We live in the era of the 24-minute news cycle. Yes, "minute"; I meant what I wrote.
I do not anticipate a long and healthy life. But I do expect to live long enough to see Gonzales behind bars and Bybee impeached and disbarred. Obama isn't helping much, but the bad guys are beginning to face at least the possibility of justice.

I suppose waterboarding KSM himself 183 times in one month (that's about six times a day) wasn't enough for them...
183 times? 6 times a day? He smelled?

Interesting radioactive fallout from the Harman story... blackmail by Gonzales.
Wonder how many others.....

[gratiou... is that a movement in a Cajun mass?]
Steve, may you be surprised and get to say at 92, "If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself".
AND see the whole kit and cabal behind bars in the bargain!
