If you wonder why I haven't posted in ages....

....[1]this is the reason why.
The Washington Post reported today that select members of congress
were briefed by the CIA in 2002 about enhanced interrogation
techniques. Included in the briefing was current House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).
Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was
waterboarding, a practice that years later would be condemned as
torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill. But on
that day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two
lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S.
officials said.
"The briefer was specifically asked if the methods were tough
enough," said a U.S. official who witnessed the exchange.
According to the article, the CIA gave congressional overseers
approximately 30 private briefings, some of which included
descriptions of waterboarding, other harsh interrogation methods,
and virtual tours of the CIA's overseas detention sites.
The hypocrisy in this country is so overwhelming it's hard to even
write about it without exploding. How am I supposed to put together
lucid thoughts that inform my readers when this crap is going on every
day?
I'm sick and tired of people who claim to be Americans and care about
America doing everything in their power to destroy this country and
watching the media do nothing except applaud and encourage the
traitors.
What's wrong with reporting the truth and letting the chips fall where
they may? Even now, when the truth is printed in the Washington Post,
the media is in full-throated chorus screaming "coverup! coverup!"
when they know damn well it's a lie.
And you wonder why I don't write!
