    Fucking joke. The administration investigating itself. As long as the Justice Department is looking into the narrow issue of the destruction of tapes, we cannot look into the larger question, the criminals acts of torture that are recorded therein.

    Yeah, that was my first thought-what next? Criminals presiding over their own trials?

    Two seperate issues though. This investigation is to determine whether or not evidence relevant to a legislative inquiry was unlawfully destroyed.

    But while that's going on, there can be no independent investigation.

    Sure there can. Congress can create and independent prosecutor, ala Ken Starr, pretty much whenever it wants. So why haven't the Democrats done this, if they are so outraged at what has happened?

    The Dems don't have the votes in Congress, even if they could all get together on something like that.

    Which, for some reason, they can't. Especially not in an election year.

    This President has discovered the veto, now that bipartisanship is the order of the day.

    Keep making excuses for the Democrats, Ice. If they wanted to press the issue, that is if they really wanted to press it and do more than just pose for the cameras, they could. But the simple fact is they haven't.

    And you're right. It largely is an issue of election-year politics, but that's a sad commentary, don't you think? I mean, these are the people who crusade on their moral outrage and quality of character, right? And they won't do what you and others think is right because they are more concerned about the prizes of the ballot box?

    Let's stop tying the hands of our own people. Think of how it would be if the table was turned (as many times is has been) , and let them do their job without constantly being scrutinized . When the day comes that our own people can't do dick without knowing they will be crucified for it , then everyone will wish for it but it will be too late.

    i just finishd havin a coffee with an old mate from scotland
    and the stories to do with a place over there at Wynton near the Loch
    as i sat listening intently the names of a boy came up his name is Geofrey Carlisle
    he went to this place had one cup of cocoa
    he then only remembers the holidays were all over he had no memory of anything else
    he is now 48 he said his brother and himself was inthis building there played with toys had one cup of drink then woke up to only go to school
    his wife ex went on how he had unusual memories of great inteligence liuke maths that
    sort of thing and there were bus loads of kids seen going in and coming out weeks later
    with no memory of other than toys and games then nothing
    i dont know how true this is but i can only say what i was told
    the boy was the natural borne son of a man very high up and got away with alot of things he also was the dept of defence of sumthing im not sure of she said his name was allen carlisle and he had bald hair and how her husband had strange mathematical
    intelligence and codes he used to say to her ....where did that come from
    his memories went on as she is a spychologist and abviously got in his head with memories and got them out he
    remembers things now also going to iran those place with his dad
    he hates his dad cause of the strange memory loss and then the maths the codes
    he also talks in his sleep and says things like cinnamon 2
    she wrote everything down and kept for many years even after their split
    she is hurt cause of what she went through with him in everyday issues
    well the CIB thing i see that in every day every country or nation or what ever
    there is always a bad company that will decieve us and do things to our kids or ourselves just to hide lies or cover the truth
    either way we have nothing to do with it and the big boys are the ones that will get the job done the way they see fit and im sure eventualy these cib fellows will get their just deserts one way or another
    covering lies is wrong it just makes them get deeper into a pit they cant get out of
    covering one leads to covering another lie it never ends
    you may as well give them a shovel to dig deeper see how deep they can get them selves in
    before they realise they cant get out its too deep
    i dont know anymore about things i see hell every where i looki
    i hear things from people that have got problems and cant cope with every day life
    i see old men and women strugling to get home with a bag of shopping
    i see it all and im not sure weather its worth fighting for anymore
    i feel if i was in a war i would lay down my weapons and say to the enemy
    i dont know if im in the right or your in the wrong but i dont want this i dotn want his place i used to think was beautiful its nbot how i remember things here its not how it used to be
    i wonder what went wrong and i think is it the fact we are facing the truth and we are finaly feeling the after math of it ....seeing things on the news like kids tortured by australian cops and they laugh in the films
    excuse me for being strait forward but i dont see the funny side of this
    just i dont see it
    and when the cib asked me here in au about kids getting raped i never laughed they said
    you know they said to me they didnt knw why i never laughed
    they said it was weird that i was weird they said every one laughs
    hmm well im sorry call me weird but i dont see the funny side of things
    and these cib fools names are ian skinner and max bennet
    they used to ask me things like what laws to change like i fucking look like a law changing person or sumthing
    or they needed help to do with a teacher i never been in thaqt town before but they wanted me to help em ....like how can it if i dont know that town or know what they are on about
    so you see we have just as much idiots in cib as anywhere in the world does

    My mate also told me bout a girl taht went missing from that place wynton
    her husband members a girl he even remembers her name
    she went on how this girl has popped up and she said this girl belongs to scotland not australia
    she told me her name but i wont say cause it might cause a conspiravy thingy or suthing weird
    her husband said this girl wanted so badoly to see her dad before she went missing
    well now they know one of the kids are here in australia but that was like years ago keep in mind her hubby is 48 and he was a kid when all this happened

    and any case i thibk people didnt realise that dna would be invented and stealing other peoples kids would come out eventualy
    the truth comes out eventually then they seem to be ohhh sooo dammm sorreee
    well shit hapens sorries dont cut it when theres such a big mess
    for others to clean up

    Not at all. Spineless, the leadership of that party.

    But the worst you can say of them is that they have failed to symbolically take the Republican administration to task, and risk their careers in that symbolic process.

    The Republicans, on the other hand, have far worse to account for. A mere hint of cooperation, from merely a few of them, with the new wave Dems, and everything is different - not just symbolic posing and noise, but real and veto-proof enforcement of the rule of law, would be possible.
