Dick Cheney's Torture Tour while America Fights for its Soul
By DJ BALL (about the author) Page 1 of 10 page(s)
For OpEdNews: DJ BALL - Writer Lately Dick Cheney resembles a genital wart or venereal disease, the former ( Vice?) President just won't go away.
Practically everyday this pinocchio-esque windbag of fear mongering soullessness is on television defending TORTURE.
Please, somebody jam this monster back into the time machine that he slithered out of and return him to the medieval dimension where he so belongs.
Yes, Torture, a crime so heinous that The United States has signed treaties banishing it and in the past has doled out the death penalty to those convicted of administering it.
In December 2008, both President Bush and Vice President Cheney admitted on national TV of not only being aware but overseeing torture programs of suspected "terrorists".
If only "terrorists", had been tortured, it would still be a disgusting black mark on American History. Unfortunately for Dick The Coward and The Torturers, innocent civilians have been caught up in this illegal and immoral policy. From the moment that Guantanamo opened in early 2002, former Secretary of the Army Thomas White said, it was obvious that at least a third of the population didn't belong there. Spend some time as I have researching the torture issue and you will be completely disgusted.
It is far worse than you could even possibly imagine.
Even more unforgivable is that Cheney and Bush wanted to use 911 as a pretext to invade Iraq . They tortured people in the hopes of getting false confessions of a link between Saddam and Al Qaeda. Colin Powell presented tortured and false testimony to the U.N as the “evidence” that Saddamn was sitting on massive stockpiles of WMD”S.
Torturing people and lying to go to war. This meets the definition of evil.
The ACLU,The Red Cross and Amnesty International have documented cases that will make your stomach turn and unfortunately won't be examined on Fox News or any of the Major networks.
Torture is a national disgrace. More than 100 inmates have died in American custody in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantánamo. After two Afghan inmates were beaten to death by American soldiers, the American military investigator found that one of the men's legs had been “pulpified.” Watch Academy Award Winning “Taxi to The Darkside” or the stellar PBS documentary “Torturing Democracy”.These should both be mandatory viewing for all Americans.
It's no wonder that Cheney's Pro-Torture PR campaign is in high gear as the wagons of justice are circling. Unfortunately for Chickenhawk Dick , the majority of Americans are disgusted that this most heinous act was carried out in their name. Americans realize that if they're ever to regain face amongst their fellow mankind they need to investigate and prosecute torture. And herein lies the problem for Cheney. He has already confessed to torture. Dick the Coward calls it "enhanced interrogation" but it's torture. Plain and simple and Dick The Coward ordered it.
At the end of WW2, Japanese Officers were executed for administering water boarding or the drowning torture.
