Torture-gate: News that, starting in 2002, Vice Pres. Dick Cheney, then-Sec. of State Colin Powell, then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, then-Attorney Gen. John Ashcroft and others, met to draft torture guidelines for CIA interrogators has been met with a collective yawn by the media.
Their blase reaction is revelatory of the fact that they (along with most Americans) have simply become inured to Cheney’s black-hearted depravity. It is also yet another instance in which the corporate media is too focused on something trivial — the Democratic candidates’ bashing each other — to do its job.
There’s no better evidence that Cheney and the others were fully aware that what they were doing was wrong than this quote from Ashcroft, a devout Christian, during one of the sessions:
“Why are we talking about this in the White House? History will not judge this kindly.”
In her capacity as national security adviser, Rice was in charge of the project. What is unknown is whether “Mistress Condi” wore her knee-high black leather boots to the meetings.

the “leaders” of this nation, once the beacon of justice, has been group playing the same fantasy,however in a systematically gruesome, sadistic, and sober way. it makes my blood run cold. they’ve mangled our future and our present, and now they have mangled my innocent childhood.
i know i am not the only one.
Remember these two things and open your eyes to the truth of this United States Regime: “New World Order” and “Codex Alimentarius” Quit listening to the RIGHT-WING media machine and sniveling liberal sheep-dogs. Think for yourself - it isn’t illegal yet.
