Daring Depravity

I have been reading blogs on the internet for some time now, and I like a lot of them, however, I always felt like something was missing.

We just tortured people, we didn't kill them..... except that we did

According to the report, "98 detainees have died while in U.S. hands, with 34 identified as homicides, at least eight of which were tortured to death."

Is this what we are supposed to put behind us, as we look forward? After all, it is just a little water in the nose, right?

Mr. Demjanjuk is set to be deported to Germany, to stand trial for aiding in the murder of thousands of people in World War 2, as a part of the Holocaust.

However, under the new US moral relativism, wasn't he just following orders? The people who are just following orders don't get prosecuted, only the people who ordered the crimes, or the people who said the crimes were legal (like Jay Bybee)

Even then, we are reluctant to prosecute the people at the top, let alone the people who committed the war crimes.

So, if Mr. Demjanjuk is put on a plane to Germany, should we expect Rumsfeld, Bush, Rice, etc to be on the next plane? I won't hold my breath....

Colbert does it again, explaining the torture logic.

The part for kids is the best.

Well, it appears that Arlen Specter's defection to the Democrats is totally meaningless, on the issue of heathcare. He stated yesterday morning, that he is opposed to all forms of government healthcare. Thanks a lot Democrats!
