Media and Investigations

This guy has some good shows. 



FOIA: Ghost Detention and Extraordinary Rendition, Center for Constitutional Rights

New Torture Memos, Mother Jones, Feb 12, 2009


Prosecuting for Torture, Mother Jones, Jan 14, 2009

CIA Holds Terror Suspects in Secret Prisons, Washington Post, Nov 2, 2005

Hundreds, maybe thousands of documents and accounts verify torture such that ignorance isn't plausible. Public admissions by both Rumsfield and Cheney also conclude they were aware of and approved it. Anyone pretending otherwise is too stupid for comments.

    That guy is an idiot. Do you folks ever give up. If Bush could be indicted on anything it would have already been done.

    Speaking of idiots how about sharing with your visitors a piece on the fraud who usurps the presidency currently, without being legally qualified to hold the post. Like no real proof of US birth.

    Let's have a real investigation into that one.

    The birth certificate story isn't one. Sorry. You'll have to find something else, like AWOL Bush. There are a total of 500 court orders Bush and Co. have ignored. He changed regulations such that he can't be arrested. Nor could Nixon or Clinton if they were in office today.

    "Us folk" may piss you off but here it is:

    Why the stories about Obama's birth certificate will never die
    Barack Obama was, without question, born in the U.S., and he is eligible to be president, but experts on conspiracy theories say that won't ever matter to those who believe otherwise.

    "Not surprisingly, almost all of the people who've been most prominent in pushing this story have a history of conspiracist thought. There's Jerome Corsi, who's best known as the co-author of the book that launched the Swift boat vets; he's a chief proponent of the claim that the government is secretly planning to form a "North American Union" with Canada and Mexico. Philip Berg, who filed the lawsuit that had until now drawn the most public attention, is a 9/11 Truther. Andy Martin, who's credited with starting the myth that Obama is a Muslim and has been intimately involved in the birth certificate mess as well, was denied admission to the Illinois bar because of a psychiatric evaluation that showed he had "moderately severe character defect manifested by well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character." He also has a long history of anti-Semitism. Robert Schulz, who's responsible for the ads in the Tribune, is a fairly notorious tax protester. In 2007, a federal judge ordered Schulz to shutter his Web site because he and his organization were, in the words of the Justice Department's Tax Division, using the site to promote "a nationwide tax-fraud scheme."

    This is just one document (There's quite a few more):
    The Commission of Inquiry on Crimes Against Humanity Committed by the Bush Administration released its final verdict on Wednesday, September 13, 2006. http://www.bushcommission.org/Findings/Final%20Verdict.pdf
