Rights groups file French torture case vs Rumsfeld
“Donald Rumsfeld must understand that he has nowhere to hide. A torturer is an enemy of humanity,” he added.
The plaintiffs argue in their filing, which was also posted on the FIDH Web site, that French courts have universal jurisdiction — allowing them to try foreigners in cases that occurred abroad — under the 1984 Convention Against Torture.
>> However, those refusing Iraq duty may face disciplinary action up to and including dismissal for failing to uphold their oath to serve the United States and the Constitution, Thomas said. <<
Too bad the president responsible for the mess in Iraq isn’t held to the same standards as the people he sends over there to die.
If things are going so well in Iraq, why is Neo-Condy going to *gasp* Clinton and Carter for advice on peace in the Middle East? Obama fundraiser stabs him in the back and joins the Hillary camp. Our “buddies” in Yemen gave commuted
the sentence of one of the Cole bombers. If it happened under Clinton’s watch, the right-wingers would have a fit. The Army turns into a fox guarding the hen-house by investigating fraud. The Mayans might be right about their calendar, because our country faces water shortage in 36 states over the next 5 years!

I read that too. But I was wondering one thing…..why in the f*ck do we need diplomats where there is no sign of diplomacy with this administration?
Then it hit me.
Diplomats = Reason for Backwater’s existence.
With any luck, Bill Clinton’s belicose behavior will cause Hillary to lose the primary.
I can only hope.
I am done with the Clintons … period.
Take heart! There’s hope yet!CBS/CNN/ABC/alphabet soup is not asking the voters. That’s not even questionable. Kucinich is gaining ground despite being snubbed, just like Paul. And like you said, Hillary cannot unite the dems.
boo phuKKKing hoo! my crying towel is in the hamper. we can only hope coulter gets a meltdown just like malkin’s. as if the perfection of the jews was not enough to get her banned from everywhere for life. phukkk the msm and especially fux/abc/cbs/cnn.

Haloscan was better, quicker, less memory, faster. this thing has so much JAVA it never actually stops loading. WORSE, it’s by design that the differing features appear one at a time, slowing things down immeasurably, because of the data that must be loaded from the server to build each page. thus each consumes memory and cycles.

If i were as paranoid as the people running roughshod over this country i would be clinically insane, bound in a straight jacket, pumped with drugs that would do me no good but would finance the Pharmacutical Lobby to influence Congress to pass laws which would make me paranoid as all hell.
Sure this is right on, politically. Sure Ann Coulter is vile.
But am I being a spoil sport to sorta wish the song and the singing was a bit more musical, or the humor just a little less reactionary?
Coulter is fish in a barrel, easy target - a gimme - so why not give it some crafty, swiftian satire — some dick in a box musicality, sheesh I feel like Samberg would have done it better. And that’s saying something.
To recap, Coulter is Vile. Just want a better song.
Good night and good luck.
forgive me for not exhibiting the “true spirit” of open thread… but it seems to me as of late that many of the staple poliblogs are slowly losing their relevance… they’ve been pulled into the cosmic media suction of late capitalism… rather than developing critical perspectives, they fawn over the superficial he-said-she-said bullshit…
how many time will i come here and click on something that turns out to be some stupid talking turd saying some stupid shit that i couldn’t give two craps about…
sorry, but how is ann coulter relevant to the continued development of political insight? coulter & kind are epiphenomenal to the underlying global interests dominating community politics… C&Lers though seemed somewhat transfixed within the categories of this dominant minority…
quick, someone do an analysis of how many posts C&L has done on right-wing nut jobs… how many in the month of october already? i am sure it is some pathetic percentage of total posts…
well, you might say, “ahem, you know buddy, unless we flap our jaws and wag our fingers as much as they do, and expose them for the crooks and liars that they are, well, then joe blow and jane doe americana are not going to know that these kooks are loons.”
my reply, of course, would be that as long as you are examining this anal punditry at a macrolevel, and making insights into the base structures giving rise to this constellation of purposeful obfuscators, then alright…
i would much rather come here and read a historical examination of the iraqi constitutional referendum process, what bush was doing then, and the parliamentary ongoings in iraq at present, and what bush is doing now…
that’s right, poliblogs were relevant when they posted up stories that MSM wouldn’t… rather than being another rope-a-dope in the echo chamber, the good poliblogger would bring something fresh to the table… and people would be like, “i never thought about it that way” or “wtf, those bastards”…
really, i just yawn at the hollywood freak show shite that’s fills up the pages now…

I’m surprised more Jews haven’t gotten up and arms about her latest comment. Maybe I should ask my represenative Eric Cantor what he thinks about Coulter’s comments. Shouldn’t he be demanding an apology. After all, he’s was so quick to jump on comments that Jim Mornan made, insisting they were anti-semetic. As usual, being conservative means never having to say you’re sorry, ever. We can only imagine what would have happened if a liberal had made such an outrageous comment. The righties would be denouncing it from the floor of the House and Senate, passing resolutions, 24 coverage on Fox and right wing radio, etc. In fact, very little was ever said about this. But you can bet your bottom dollar that when the heat dies down, Coultergeist will be right back at it, and the right wing nut jobs will be lapping it up.

Great song, I’d like to ad some lyrics if I may:
In another place and time they would have burned her at the stake
The only witch in Salem that wasn’t torched by mistake
She’s got two twigs for arms and legs like two sticks
With an adams apple like that, she must also have a dick
You know who I’m talkin bout,
I’m talkin bout Ann Coulter
How does one “perfect” Ann Coulter?
She is already a:
Perfect Ass
Perfect Idiot
Perfect Sleeze
Perfect Prostitute (”They got paid, its time for them to shut up!)
