Torture Prosecutions Coming Soon? Justice Dept. Report Advises Pursuing C.I.A. Abuse Cases




This is my response to a statement that questioned whether prosecuting torturers would be bad for the democrats in the 2010 elections.


Doesn't anyone else see the reality that there is no such thing as 'democrats' or 'republicans', there is only the corporation? The current health care 'debate' surely proves that fact. And let us not forget the bankers' bailout. Members of both the house and the senate have decried the full ownership of congress by bankers and insurance companies. It's have versus have nots, nothing less and nothing more.

So who gets hurt by a drawn out investigation into torture is irrelevant in 2010, or at any other time: the corporations' candidate will always win. Without true campaign finance reform and strict term limits, nothing will change.

And the Orwellian way in which 'debate' is happening in this country will continue unchecked. Since we certainly cannot rely on the corporate owned media to inform, I see very little in the way of options.

We will reach a breaking point, and if the uber rich can't see that, then maybe they ought to reread the history of human kind. I hear they go well with Merlot.
