Guess what? This was considered illegal back in the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's.

I mean, someone should be rotting in jail for this:

Self-proclaimed waterboarding fan Dick Cheney called it a no-brainer in a 2006 radio interview: Terror suspects should get a “a dunk in the water.” But recently released internal documents reveal the controversial “enhanced interrogation” practice was far more brutal on detainees than Cheney’s description sounds, and was administered with meticulous cruelty.

Interrogators pumped detainees full of so much water that the CIA turned to a special saline solution to minimize the risk of death, the documents show. The agency used a gurney “specially designed” to tilt backwards at a perfect angle to maximize the water entering the prisoner’s nose and mouth, intensifying the sense of choking – and to be lifted upright quickly in the event that a prisoner stopped breathing.

The documents also lay out, in chilling detail, exactly what should occur in each two-hour waterboarding “session.” Interrogators were instructed to start pouring water right after a detainee exhaled, to ensure he inhaled water, not air, in his next breath. They could use their hands to “dam the runoff” and prevent water from spilling out of a detainee’s mouth. They were allowed six separate 40-second “applications” of liquid in each two-hour session – and could dump water over a detainee’s nose and mouth for a total of 12 minutes a day. Finally, to keep detainees alive even if they inhaled their own vomit during a session – a not-uncommon side effect of waterboarding – the prisoners were kept on a liquid diet. The agency recommended Ensure Plus.

[...]

The doctors were also present to monitor the detainee “to ensure that he does not develop respiratory distress.” A leaked 2007 report from the International Committee of the Red Cross says that meant the detainee’s finger was fixed with a pulse oxymeter, a device that measures the oxygen saturation level in the blood during the procedure. Doctors like Allen say this would allow interrogators to push a detainee close to death – but help them from crossing the line. “It is measuring in real time the oxygen content in the blood second by second,” Allen explained about the pulse oxymeter. “It basically allows them to push these prisoners more to the edge. With that, you can keep going. This is calibration of harm by health professionals.”

[...]

The memo also contains a last, little-noticed paragraph that may be the most disturbing of all. It seems to say that the detainees subjected to waterboarding were also guinea pigs. The language is eerily reminiscent of the very reasons the Nuremberg Code was written in the first place. That paragraph reads as follows:

“NOTE: In order to best inform future medical judgments and recommendations, it is important that every application of the waterboard be thoroughly documented: how long each application (and the entire procedure) lasted, how much water was used in the process (realizing that much splashes off), how exactly the water was applied, if a seal was achieved, if the naso- or oropharynx was filled, what sort of volume was expelled, how long was the break between applications, and how the subject looked between each treatment.”

Only in America will you find a man sentenced to 35 years in jail for smoking pot, a man’s life sentence upheld by the Supreme Court because he didn’t pay a 120 dollar bill, and a man getting a lifetime job because he wrote memos approving torture.

But lets not kid ourselves. The reason why the torture debate is focused on waterboarding is because people don’t want to talk about genital mutilation, raping of children, raping of assholes with broken bottles, forced masturbation, threatening to kill children in front of their parents, and a whole bunch of other shit that would make Eli Roth cum in his silk boxers.

Waterboarding is just the tip of the iceberg. And it’s the only thing our government is willing to fess up too.

I bet he plays with himself while watching those “missing” CIA tapes:

On Sunday, Cheney pronounced himself “a big supporter of waterboarding,” a near-drowning technique that has been regarded as torture back to the Spanish Inquisition and that has long been treated by U.S. authorities as a serious war crime, such as when Japanese commanders were prosecuted for using it on American prisoners during World War II.

Cheney was unrepentant about his support for the technique. He answered with an emphatic “yes” when asked if he had opposed the Bush administration’s decision to suspend the use of waterboarding – after it was employed against three “high-value detainees” sometimes in repetitive sequences. He added that waterboarding should still be “on the table” today.

This man is the 21 century’s Stalin. A man who’s responsible for the destruction of millions of people’s lives. A man who jerks off to murder, torture, and rape while shitting on Habeas Corpus and The Constitution.

And he does it without a care in the world, because he knows nothing will happen to him. Nobody will arrest him and throw him in jail, because he’s rich, white, and powerful. And the people he’s fucked over are poor, brown, and weak.

I wish we had more Congressmen that would call out Dick Cheney besides him, Dennis Kucinich, and Al Franken.

Bunch of corporate whores

Here’s a list of things you can investigate after you’re done crucifying ACORN for failing to recognize a fake pimp:

• Blackwater
• KBR
• Halliburton
• Triple Canopy
• Boeing
• Lockheed Martin
• Federal Reserve
• Wall Street Bailout
• Goldman Sachs
• AIG
• Bank of America
• Citigroup
• CIA torture program
• Politicization of the Department of Justice
• Betsy McCaughey
• Karl Rove
• WMD in Iraq
• 9 billion dollars lost in Iraq
• Cheney’s Energy Task Force Meeting

Of course you aren’t going to investigate any of these things because you”re too busy destroying an organization that’s received 53 million dollars over 15 years and helps poor colored people.

Looks like Seymour Hersh was right again.

Since 2001, the Central Intelligence Agency has developed plans to dispatch small teams overseas to kill senior Qaeda terrorists, according to current and former government officials.

Mr. Panetta scuttled the program, which would have relied on paramilitary teams, shortly after the C.I.A.’s counterterrorism center recently informed him of its existence. The next day, June 24, he told the two Congressional Intelligence Committees that the plan had been hidden from lawmakers, initially at the instruction of former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Goddammit, Seymour Hersh is the fucking man. He has uncovered the My Lai Massacre, an attack on a pharmaceutical factory in Sudan by Bill Clinton, the use of false information by the Bush administration which led us to war, the torture scandal at Abu Ghraib, and now secret assassination squads controlled by Dick Cheney.

This man deserves a Hefty trashbag full of cocaine, ten hot hookers fulfilling his every sexual fantasty, and a plaque telling him how fucking badass he is. Since he’s never going to get any of those things, I’m going to declare July 14th as “Seymour Hersh’s Kick-Ass Day”, in honor of a true American with balls the size of Karl Rove’s head.

Hey did you hear? Dick Cheney has finally admitted that there was no link between Saddam Hussein and 9-11. We’ve got the bastard. Let the war crime charges begin.

What? You didn’t hear about that? Why didn’t you hear about it? The evil fuck said it during this years National Press Club.

Oh you’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

Dick Cheney rarely takes a position that places him at a more progressive tilt than President Obama. But on Monday, the former vice president did just that, saying that he supports gay marriage as long as it is deemed legal by state and not federal government.

Do you honestly believe Dick Cheney supports gay marriage? Really? Or do you think he’s just saying this because he knows people will care more about this lie than they will about the truth of Saddam Hussein not being linked to 9-11?

Use your goddamn heads. This man doesn’t give a fuck a gay marriage. If he did, he would have supported it during the 8 fucking years he was in office. He’s supporting it now because he wants the world to forget how he used lies to justify invading Iraq. Don’t you see that?

No, of course you don’t. You’re too busy giving Dick Cheney credit for being more progressive than President Obama.

Well fuck you.

Because of this piece of shit our country is fighting in two wars, is in a deep depression, has no social safety net, has given his former business billions of dollars in no-bid contracts, and is responsible for the hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqi civilians.

So forgive me if I don’t get on my knees and swallow Dick Cheney’s load. This piece of shit should be in jail for all the crimes he’s committed, yet everyone in this fucking country could give a shit because he supports gay marriage.

I hope every one of you stupid fucking cuntbags who gives Dick Cheney credit for supporting gay marriage dies from multiple cock slaps to the face – you fucking pussies.

So she can shut the fuck up.

Why the hell do we care about what this worthless cunt has to say? Was she with her dad when he was briefed about impending terrorist attacks? She was? Then why didn’t she do anything when the FBI told him about bin Laden?

Oh that’s right, she wasn’t fucking there. Why wasn’t she there? Because she wasn’t apart of George Bush’s cabinet. That means she didn’t get any daily briefings, she doesn’t know anything about the intelligence reports, and she doesn’t get to tell the American people how her dad keep us safe.

I wish someone in the media would grow a pair and tell this fucking slut to shut her mouth. Of course if someone in the media had a pair then we wouldn’t be fighting in these two fucking wars.

Why is the only person making sense about torture a former WWF wrestler? And why is he arguing with this worthless cunt about it?

Why are people in this country pissed off at Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid for being briefed on torture, but not pissed off at George Bush and Dick Cheney for authorizing torture? Why is Barack Obama not willing to prosecute CIA agents who tortured, but isn’t willing to free soldiers from jail who tortured?

Why is waterboarding considered an enhanced interrogation technique when our government does it, but considered torture when the Vietnamese government does it?

Why has there been more outrage over Micheal Vick torturing dogs, than there has been over the Bush administration torturing humans?

Can you spot the difference between these two pictures?  If you said no because both pictures are religious propaganda then give yourself a fucking hand.

In a lengthy article on Donald Rumsfeld’s rocky tenure as Defense Secretary, GQ published never-before-seen cover sheets from top-secret intelligence briefings produced by Rumsfeld’s Pentagon. Starting in the days surrounding the U.S. invasion of Iraq, the cover sheets featured inspirational Bible verses printed over military images, “and were delivered by Rumsfeld himself to the White House” to the president, “who referred to America’s war on terror as a ‘crusade,’” GQ writes. (view the images here)

Not only were our soldiers handing out Bibles while slaughtering hundreds of innocent civilians, but our former president was getting daily military briefings with retarded Bible Verses and military images on the front page.  What retarded Bible Verses were used you ask?  These award winners:

Teir arrows are sharp, all their bows are strung; their horses’ hoofs seem like flint, their chariot wheels are like a whirl wind. Isaiah 5:28

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Ephesians 6:13

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3

But the award for “Most Retarded Bible Verse That Graced the Cover of a Top Secret Military Briefing Given to George W. Bush” is:

It is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. 1 Peter 2:15

This is a bad dream right?  I mean, there’s no way the former President of the Untied States and his administration used the deaths of 3,000 American citizens to justify torture and use it to get suspected terrorist to provide a false link to a shitty third world country so we could invade it and give billions of taxpayers’s dollars to their political friends while sacrificing thousands of American lives – right?

And this is how it all began.

OVAL OFFICE

George Bush sits behind his desk while Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, George Tenet, Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales, Jay Bybee and John Yoo sit around arguing with each other.

Dick Cheney: (to Colin Powell and Condoleezaa Rice) Will you two educated niggers shut the fuck up and listen to the goddamn wetback…

John Yoo: Um, I’m Korean sir.

Dick Cheney: (not paying attention) and the dickless white guy..

Jay Bybee:  I’m pretty sure I have a dick sir.

Dick Cheney: (still not paying attention)…because they’re saying this is perfectly legal.  And I’d like to think that lawyers from the Justice Department know a thing or two about the law.

Colin Powell:  I don’t know Dick.  I mean, some of these things sound like torture to me.

Dick Cheney: (yelling)  Goddammit Colin.  How many times do I have to say this?  We do not torture people.  We use enhanced interrogation techniques.  How fucking hard is that to comprehend?  Torturing is bad.  Enhanced interrogation techniques is good.

Condoleezza Rice:  With all due respect sir, it sounds like you’re splitting hairs here.

Dick Cheney:  With all due respect Condi, you can shut your carpet munching ass up.

George Bush has had enough with the fighting and stands up.

George Bush:  Everybody shut the hell up.  (turns to Jay Bybee)  Alright Dickless, let me get this straight.  You’re telling me that our soldiers can strip down detainees, force them to wear adult diapers, deprive them of solid food which will make them shit all over themselves, deprive them of sleep, waterboard them, slam their heads into a wall, kick them, slap them, punch them, hook their genitals up to a car battery, piss on them, shit on them, fire a gun beside their head, put their head in a box of harmless bugs but tell them they’re extremely poisonous in hopes they piss all over themselves, kidnap their families, kill their dog, destroy their home, and rape their loved ones – We can do all of that and not get in trouble if we don’t mean to intentionally harm them and only want information?

Jay Bybee:  Yes sir, that’s correct.

George Bush:  But if one of our soldiers stomps on a detainee’s big toe because they want revenge for the death of one of their comrades who died in an IED explosion, that’s considered torture and we can be charged with war crimes?

Jay Bybee: (looking nervous) Yes…yes sir.

John Yoo:  (nodding his head)  Yes Mr. President, that’s what we’re saying.

George Bush looks at Jay Bybee then at John Yoo then back at Jay Bybee before sitting down without saying a word.  The entire room is silent for 5 minutes while George Bush thinks.

George Bush:  (breaking the silence)  And now you’re asking me to sign off on these things?

John Yoo:  (glances at a smiling Cheney before looking back at George Bush)  That’s correct sir.

George Bush:  (slowly nods his head)  Alright.  But first I need to talk to the Lord.  Gotta know what the Big Guy thinks about all this.

Dick Cheney rubs his hands together like a fat kid about to get a piece of his favorite cake.  Everyone in the room is silent while George Bush lowers his head and starts to pray.

George Bush:  (mumbling to himself)…I know that Lord, but these guys say it’s legal and protected under the Constitution.  Also, don’t forget these terrorist are at war with You.  Of course I know that Lord…

Ten minutes pass before George Bush shouts “AMEN!” and looks up.

George Bush:  Well…

Everyone leans in.

George Bush: (continued)… the Lord says as long as the Justice Department says it’s legal and it isn’t against the Constitution, we can go ahead and do it.  And who am I to argue with the Lord?

Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Alberto Gonzales, Jay Bybee and John Yoo jump up and chest bumps and high fives each other while Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice slump in their seats.

Dick Cheney: (pointing at Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice)  Suck on that you fucking pussy ass niggers.  Suck on that.

Yep – I’m pretty sure that’s how it happened.  And you know what?  I’m glad.  Because now I know I can kidnap that woman who doesn’t talk to me at the bar I go to every Thursday night, tie her up, pry open her mouth, and make her gag on my cock without fear of being charged with torture – because I only want information on why she doesn’t talk to me.  And for that I have to say, “Thank you George Bush…Thank you.”
