U.S. Kangaroo Court

Stephen Colbert on torture trials

BBC: Bush administration lawyers who authorised harsh interrogation of terrorism suspects are unlikely to face criminal charges, US media report. A justice department inquiry into the lawyers who wrote memos approving techniques such as waterboarding is nearly complete, reports say. The inquiry's conclusions are said to make no mention of criminal charges. President Barack Obama, who considers such methods torture, last month made four of the memos public. But he said CIA agents who followed the memos' advice would not be prosecuted.

I had sent this link to a couple of friends but it seems like the colbertnation.com connection is broken.

Greetings,

Check out Family of Secrets. The Bush family are in power since World War I. They will never be persecuted. Prescott Bush was W.W.I. veteran, G.H. Bush was W.W.II. veteran, W. was Vietnam War veteran, and they removed Shah of Iran for rejecting Zionist Lobby under Jimmy Carter. Who wantst them tried? OBAMA has to follow the same rules. www.familyofsecrets.com

When the President Does it ... It's NOT Illegal ? ;0)

I also immediately thought of the Nixon Frost Interview when I heard the Condolizza Rice's argument against using torture. Strange how history repeats itself ...

Also Go see this Ron Howard movie if you haven't yet ! ... Its Brilliant !
