.....And he's trying to distract you all from the real story that should be getting discussed in the asylum.....Smiley: nod

Quote:
Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh raised eyebrows back in March when he told an audience at the University of Minnesota that **** Cheney ran a secret hit squad that he kept hidden from congressional oversight.

"Congress has no oversight of it. It’s an executive assassination ring essentially, and it’s been going on and on and on," Hersh said at the time. He added: "Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That’s been going on, in the name of all of us."
Link.


Seynour Hersh is one of the best (imo) journalists you guys in the US have, and he's been consistently right (despite the denials) on loads of issues over the years.

So, whilst Varus is keeping you all distracted with rumours of Obama being an Kenyan by birth and pictures of his 'fat wife', Cheney and Bush are, yet again, getting away with it!

I demand outrage!

Isn't that the guy who exposed the My Lai Massacre? Huh. Guess that might put him a step above most conspiracy nuts. I'll have to check out the article.

Yes. And many other stories, including exposing the b/s behind BushCo's statement "We DO NOT torture".

Bush, et al also apparently ran a far more extensive wiretapping organization than they admitted to or would allow the CIA to know/reveal.

That said, I don't see a whole lot of value in trying to chase Bush down with the hounds.

Guess he forgot to expose that Pelosi, and the rest of congress, was informed of all the interogating techniques as well.

As a public circus? Not really. What, you think they'll throw him and Cheney in some oubliette for the next fifty years? Of course not.

It's worth investigating, revealing and working to prevent a reoccurance of. Making it about how evil Bush was is just a loser proposition.

You don't know who Seymour Hersh is, do you?

I'd be concerned if the US didn't have a hit squad.

How many lives could you save by just killing 1 person now and then?

Sometimes you have to do what's wrong to do what's right.

I heard Laura Bush once ran a man down with her car, just to watch him die.
