Habeas corpus? Ancient history. Just like all the rest of that Latin mumbo-jumbo. Bag ‘em and tag ‘em are the legal lyrics we sing these days. This president’s a (nearly real) Texan! Don’t mess with Texas!
Squeamish lily-livered liberals and their bleeding-heart fellow travelers might not like it, but I’m sure the president wants to get to the bottom of this just as much as he’s wanted to solve the puzzle of who outed Valerie Plame (which he will, I assure you, as soon as he can locate that scrap of paper with Dick Cheney’s phone number on it).
That’s bad news for Ms. Goodling, because that whole annoying Geneva Protocol thing has now been determined to be both "quaint" and "obsolete" (didn’t Alberto tell you?).
Uh-Oh. That means the t-word, I’m afraid. But, look, you gotta do what you gotta do to win the war on evildoers.
So I say, torture her! Hell yes.
If I know anything about this president, I know he won’t be afraid to attach electrodes to her genitals and make her scream a little.
I know that he’ll waterboard her until she gives up the guilty parties (though certain names may have to be redacted, of course, but we have people for that).
I know that nothing so quaint and obsolete as mere international treaties or constitutional provisions will stop our unfaltering crusader for justice from getting to the bottom of this obvious threat to our way of life.
And I know that once he has everything he needs from her forced confession, he’ll have just the people in place as US attorneys to prosecute this evildoer. (But, of course, why bother at that point?)
Fifth Amendment rights. That’s rich. We haven’t had that around these parts since nigh about the twentieth century. Next I suppose she’ll be claiming that her preordained death sentence is cruel and unusual punishment! Talk about quaint and obsolete.
Fifth Amendment rights. Hah. What does she think this is, the old United States of America?
