Do we not fight wars to protect “human rights” — or so that's what we are told? War is a business and this is a simple fact. There are literally millions of posts on the web under the heading of the Silent Holocaust, Organized Harassment, multi stalking, whistle blowers, gang stalking just to name a few. 1,000s of Americans are screaming for help and are being psychologically tortured. These are normal citizens of the United States, not terrorists or criminals. 24/7 surveillance, stalked everywhere, black balling, destruction of innocent people. I call it terrorism by 1,000 blows. Please help – awareness is prevention. http://www.rosieandthecat.com – lots of good links.

Feingold has been consistently honest…he voted against the “Patriot Act” the lone voice in the Senate. He has been shut out by most media for his brave stance. He gets kudos in my book, for not being a coward-also kudos to Kucinich, Marcy Kaptur, Wexler and Whitehouse. It's an American shame there are so few that chose to be aware of what the Bush Adm got away with (murder).

When are our congressmen going to call for investigation and prosecution of Bush and Cheney?
A Conspiracy To Deceive Congress for eight years, #fb

about a secret CIA program is just like the Conspiracy To Ignore And Render Moot Our US-Federal Anti-Torture Laws.

It is time our Congressmen, Republican as well as Democrats showed us they support our Rule of Law and the Separation of Powers.

The time is now!

That's why we have a Department of Justice. It takes the politics out of the investigative process, gets the cold hard facts, defines what actions are crimes and then let the chips fall in the courts. By keeping Congress away, there's a extremely good chance of getting convictions. The only time you need Congress will be if actions are found to be treasonable. It'll be hard to claim partisanship politics if the facts found are inarguable treasonable.

The only way for justice to prevail will be for the DoJ to establish up a special prosecutor in the Ken Starr fashion and give him his head to ferret out any and all possible conflicts of interests that would be a crime by US law, international treaties and the Constitution. Once done, it'll be quite difficult for republicans in Congress to deny members, specifically appointees, of the Bu$h Administration are guilty of treason.

After Ashcroft & Goldsmith left office, Gonzales & Bradbury restored some of the Yoo arguments and policies regarding interrogations. Perhaps they did the same for the 'TSP'. Second, its unclear which program(s) is/are covered by both Feingold and Goldsmith in the passages you cite. It's possible that Goldsmith only addressed the TSP while Feingold is criticizing other programs that are still classified and undetailed.

Sadly, until Congressional Democrats do agree to hold hearings in order to expose and/or prosecute, Nixon's axiom about the President not being able to do anything illegal will hold true.
