From al Arabiya, after Abu Ghraib:

"It's important for people to understand that in a democracy, there will be a full investigation. In other words, we want to know the truth. In our country, when there's an allegation of abuse ... there will be a full investigation, and justice will be delivered. ... It's very important for people and your listeners to understand that in our country, when an issue is brought to our attention on this magnitude, we act. And we act in a way in which leaders are willing to discuss it with the media. ... In other words, people want to know the truth. That stands in contrast to dictatorships. A dictator wouldn't be answering questions about this. A dictator wouldn't be saying that the system will be investigated and the world will see the results of the investigation." - Bush Al Arabiya interview.

"But we are not asked to judge the President's character flaws. We are asked to judge whether the President, who swore an oath to faithfully execute his office, deliberately subverted--for whatever purpose--the rule of law," - John McCain arguing for the impeachment of Bill Clinton for perjury in a civil suit, February 1999.

"Anyone who knows what waterboarding is could not be unsure. It is a horrible torture technique used by Pol Pot," - John McCain, October 2007.

"We've got to move on," - John McCain, April 26, 2009, reacting to incontrovertible proof that George W. Bush ordered the waterboarding of a prisoner 183 times, as well as broader treatment that the Red Cross has called "unequivocally torture."

As I said in China this spring, there is no place for abuse in what must be considered the family of man. There is no place for torture and arbitrary detention. There is no place for forced confessions. There is no place for intolerance of dissent. While we walked through the Rotunda. I explained to President Jiang how the roots of American rule of law go back more than 700 years, to the signing of the Magna Carta. The foundation of American values, therefore, is not a passing priority or a temporary trend. - Newt Gengrich http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-28404541.html

John Lopresti noted that it might be helpful to have a timeline of all the torture documents released in the last several weeks. And you know I can't resist requests for timelines. So here goes:

April 9: CIA Director Leon Panetta bans contractors from conducting interrogations

The picture that Eric Harris drew the night of his arrest was discovered in the files of the El Paso County sheriff's dept. It was forwarded to Sheriff Anderson of El Paso from Sheriff Sullivan of Arapaho county. They placed it into a file and named the file "Walsh buttrape txt." Walsh was the arresting officer of the January incident. This proves that they saw the picture as a Jefferson County deputy sodomizing a kid.

Where were these people BEFORE the fucking vote?
Andrew Sullivan can try to pin this on the "black community" all he fucking wants, but none of these people lifted a finger to prevent this from passing.
Funny video tho! =]


How do YOU know they did nothing to stop Prop 8 prior to the election? Just because they didn't make this video before the election doesn't mean they ALL were doing nothing. Maybe some of them donated money and/or their time to Equality For All, the main group opposed to Prop 8. NoOnProp8 web site.

What did you two do? Did you donate anything to the No On Prop 8 campaign? I'll bet not. So easy to criticize while you're doing jackshit, isn't it?

*promote

^ Exactly.

Sullivan does a great blog...though he posts about 1000 times a day!

O'Sullivan is arguably the best Snooker player ever, here's him getting the maximum* score (a so-called 147 break) in the fastest and second fastest time ever, 5.20 and 6 and a half minutes.

http://www.videosift.com/video/Snooker-2nd-fastest-147-break-ever-Ronnie-OSullivan

*it is theoretically possible to get more points, if your opponent makes mistakes, it is theoretically endless, but for all practical purposes 147 is the best score, only a few people have ever been above it.
