"As to those filthy Yahoos, although there were few greater lovers of mankind, at that time, than myself, yet I confess I never saw any sensitive being so detestable on all accounts; and the more I came near them, the more hateful they grew, while I stayed in that country."
Well, for a country founded upon one of the biggest genocides in world history, I'm beginning to realize that torture -- and the enthusiastic embrace thereof -- is just about par for the course. Let's just stop saying "they" hate us from our freedom, 'kay?
@Sigerson: You mean like Daniel Pearl, Paul Johnson, Nicholas Berg, Jack Hensley, Kenneth Bigley, Margaret Hassan, Eugene Armstrong, Tom Fox, Ronald Schulz, etc.?
I would expect the stupid to continue for a while. Why? Because everyone has known about this shit for a long time. The sickening thing is that it has become a way to pervert the meaning of 9/11, somehow colluding the victims of that horrible man-made monstrosity into co-signers of these incredibly spurious memos, which also put the rule of law at the service of men and making George Bush's America a country of men and not laws.
There's no defense for it and it's about the biggest betrayal of us, as a people, that has ever been perpetrated by them, the those who cynically claim to "serve," but never quite get past the "first my wallet, then my party and ideology" impediment to thinking about who this country is and what this country is about.
Go work the "dark side" alone, windbag. Your schoolgirl infatuation with cartoon evil has just turned into the sad last act of a sick old dick, so don't expect to be mourned, traitor.
This wasn't on Live TV, this was live INTERNET. This story isn't so big now, is it?
They have discussion shows going on during the day that's more laid back than anchoring with words that are written for them. It's also why desk seems like it's from 'high school', it's just the live internet show folks, nothing to see here.
Is it really too much to ask for Shep Smith to relinquish the place of Alan Greenspan's irritating, harlequin-faced bride on MSNBC? He's suits the network well enough -- not to mention he would make far-superior comic relief during Rachel Maddow's, "Cocktail Moment" than that other gay guy. It's Shep time, baby.
@i.am.very.respectfully.ur.obdt.svt.: I think I need Shep to stay on Fox. He's so blissfully weird 98% of the time, it makes the few moments of righteous, sane fury really pop.
I also like to watch other people on the network react to him with bewilderment, because he is totally not supposed to be disagreeing! Not fair! Not balanced!
Well, cursing or not, she seems to grasp some of the fundamental problems at Yahoo. As an ex-yahoo, I am cheering for her and hope that she is able to turn things around.
@riggssm: I'm particularly amused that the "oops" came from saying "fuck" on air and not from cheerleading torture, tea parties, nativism, ignorance...

If you think what the CIA has done to our enemies is "torture", you're exposing your bitch ass-ness for all to see.
