Did all of you get 100% ? Yes, the correct answer is 100% You see in this class we all grade our own papers, so those of you that didn’t get 100% please change your papers now to the correct answer and give yourself an A+! It reminds me of the Stanley Kubrick film Full Metal Jacket with the psychotic door gunner in the helicopter machine gunning everything he sees “If the run they’re Viet Cong!” He shouts, “If they don’t run they’re well disciplined Viet Cong!”
They bring in the suspect to be known by the acronym of EJF in for interrogation and after 72 hours he breaks and confesses, what is your name! “ My name is Elmer J. Fudd millionaire I own a mansion and a yacht” When you were arrested you had a weapon in your possession, what did you intend to do with it? “To shoot that waskely wabbit!” Shock him “I mean commit terworist acts pwease pwease stop” Why were you going to commit terrorist acts? “Because it’s wabbit season I mean terworist act season.” And who told you it was wabbit I mean terrorist act season? “Dat little black duck did” Shock him “I mean Daffy Bin Duck!” Shock him “I mean Osama Bin Daffy” Shock him “Osama Bin Laden! Osama Bin Laden! Pwease pwease stop! Pwease pwease! My testwiclues are burning pwease stop!”
It all falls apart and melts like an ice castle on a warm sunny day into a puddle and a muddle and you’ve squandered opportunity. You make headlines and generate good press but in the end you haven’t actually gained anything on your enemies at all, in fact you have no more idea of what is truth or what is said just to stop the torture. More than likely it’s your enemies who have gained on you, but that presupposes there were any enemies at all in the first place.
Or maybe it’s more of that tough talking Texas rootin tootin fake cowboy cheerleader from that exclusive prep school in New England. The gun slinging air national guard Champaign squadron pilot keeping Houston safe from the Viet Cong. Or the hard drinking womanizing playboy or that wildcatting Texas oilman who couldn’t find oil with a can opener in one hand and a can of Quaker State in the other. Or only the latest and greatest edition of an ersatz War President trying to hide his psychotic rage by proving how tough he is by killing torturing and letting others die in his name.
After all who told us it was Al Queda that committed the crime on 9/11 and who gained from the crime on 9/11? Who said we didn’t need a commission to investigate and who wouldn’t testify under oath? They told us this and we are expected to accept this theory despite it’s holes and inconsistencies. Who has a long and persistent proclivity towards lying to the American public? Here’s a thought why don’t we turn Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld over to the same interrogation techniques they find so useful on others and see if we can’t get some answers as to what actually did happened on 9/11 and exactly who was responsible.
