BREAKING: Bush Administration to No Longer Break Domestic and International Law
| Fri Jul. 20, 2007 2:26 PM PDT
WHOA! Talk about a Friday afternoon news dump! Caught this in the Post right before I left the office.
President Bush today signed an executive order governing the interrogation of terrorism suspects by the CIA and barring torture, degrading treatment and serious acts of violence, the White House announced.
Friday afternoon announcements are reserved for things the administration wants to hide; I love that they want to hide the fact that they are now following the law.
Only one explanation here: Bush had to take drastic action so Cheney didn't torture like a million dudes when Bush goes under the knife tomorrow.

This order seems good but in what circumstances he signed and what purposes are to be served are yet to come up.. treat human as human is a better philosophy than treat human inhumanly and then pass order for treating as humans
Taboo Subjects
The Bush Administration, backed to the hilt by republican voters, republican pundits, the Republican owned Monopoly Media, Republican congressmen and Republican oligarchs, have committed far too many crimes to allow any investigations of their actions. Impeachment and War Crimes are "off the table," and will never be investigated or prosecuted because all Americans are implicated, and the whole world knows it.
Republican crimes against the American people will never be investigated or prosecuted because the Democratic leadership is complicit in most of their crimes. High ranking Democrats have very carefully selected to investigate lesser crimes in which they are not complicit, which leaves a multitude of crimes, including treason, "off the table."
This ignoring of "Taboo Subjects' is like ignoring the world is round, and that's the state of denial in our nation.
At this point, maybe our best course of action would be to start nuking other nations randomly to avoid being summoned to appear before the World Court and to maintain our dominance over the world. Perhaps that's what Cheney & Bush have in mind to escape prosecution. Just keep obliterating one country after another until we're the "Last Country left Standing." Then no one would be left to condemn us.
That may seem harsh and extreme to some, but hey, we're Americans, and we own the world. It's ours to destroy if we choose.
.
They buried it because it continues to give the CIA permission to use extreme measures. The order banned only waterboarding and extreme temperatures. What it allows remains confidential. It was the DOJ—you know Bush's errand boy Gonzales—that signed off that the allowed measures don't violate the Geneva conventions.
Bush Administration To No Longer Break Domestic and International Law????? ARE YOU FRICKIN' KIDDING ME????? Hell, WHAT DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL LAWS ARE THERE LEFT TO BREAK? Bush has already, and quite illegally, modified EVERY sacrosanct DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL LAWs there are since even before 9/11. So this article's title is a non-starter.
Further, instead of using stories like this to deliberately-deflect-attention-away-from-the-horrors-of-this-corrupt-administration, how 'bout somebody start HAMMERING for IMPEACHMENT. The longer you folks wait to get rid of the Dastardly Duo, the more damage they are going to do.
With Cheney's poll ratings below 10 and Bush's below 20, you better not rule out a 'summer surprise' of some kind from those two. And getting rid of them in January '09? - not likely to happen when there is Martial Law in force.
Better get busy people - you don't have much more time to pull the plug on these criminals.
Regarding the joke, "Is there any law he has not ignored". No! Especially the law against illegal aliens breaking into our Country. He won't build all of the fence or secure our borders. he won't let law enforcement agents do their job of catching and deporting. Bush is totally wrong on this subject and I hope the Democratic leaders wake up and hear the voice of the people.
