Who is the fairest in the land?

Credo is asking for votes:

Finally taking evil doers to task

Jeremy Scahill reports:
Judge Refuses to Dismiss War Crimes Case Against Blackwater

On Wednesday, a federal judge rejected a series of arguments by lawyers for the mercenary firm formerly known as Blackwater seeking to dismiss five high-stakes war crimes cases brought by Iraqi victims against both the company and its owner, Erik Prince. At the same time, Judge TS Ellis III sent the Iraqis' lawyers back to the legal drawing board to amend and refile their cases, saying that the Iraqi plaintiffs need to provide more specific details on the alleged crimes before a final decision can be made on whether or not the lawsuits will proceed.

And Rep. Grayson tells it like he sees it... what we've all been thinking for eight long bloody years.

I agree with Grayson:

Bush and Cheney wanted it.

Torture.

Bastards.

The real reason

Cheney hurt his back...



He's going to miss his secure superduper secret undisclosed location.....

Thar be pirates thar...

And for good reason. Nothing is ever completely good or bad, is it?

It was predictable that we'd find out our mistreatment of Somalia has caused these pirates and finally someone has gone and humanized them.

When will someone ask WHY?

Why was it necessary to break treaties and common sense to bring back torture? Because the answer is obvious?

If the evildoer folks have the bomb

It's because the Bush administration gave it to them.


Dr. Zaius of Zaius Nation explains:

Has everybody forgotten that Bush has already given the secrets of building an atomic bomb not only to Iran, but to every evil empire in the world? I remember when this story first broke. It's lifespan in the news cycle lasted from Friday afternoon to a Saturday morning. Supposedly the story was dropped because it was "unfair" and "too partisan" to run it because of the upcoming election.

A little over a year ago Bush put up a website that contained information that was captured in Iraq. Amongst this treasure trove the administration accidently overlooked part of the information that contained all of the secrets needed to build an atomic bomb. The website was called "Operation Iraqi Freedom Document Portal", which is of course no longer online. The damage is already done, however. Every intelligence agency in the world is constantly watching the White House website like a hawk. There can be no doubt that the nuclear secrets are now practically in the public domain.
