"Editorial: The Torture Sessions"
".... We have questions to ask, in particular, about the involvement of Ms. Rice, who has managed to escape blame for the catastrophic decisions made while she was Mr. Bush’s national security adviser, and Mr. Powell, a career Army officer who should know that torture has little value as an interrogation method and puts captured Americans at much greater risk. Did they raise objections or warn of the disastrous effect on America’s standing in the world? Did anyone?
Did you, Times? Hello? Or did you sit on it like the spy story?
Mr. Bush has sidestepped or quashed every attempt to uncover the breadth and depth of his sordid actions. Congress is likely to endorse a cover-up of the extent of the illegal wiretapping he authorized after 9/11, and we are still waiting, with diminishing hopes, for a long-promised report on what the Bush team really knew before the Iraq invasion about those absent weapons of mass destruction — as opposed to what it proclaimed.
Sigh!
About that spying and 9/11, etc, ummmm, yeah, except Bush's Wiretapping Began BEFORE 9/11!! and the New York Times Admits Bush Administration Spying Began in December of 2000... BEFORE TAKING OFFICE!
But they KEEP LYING FOR HIM!
And for the Times to be complaining about the weapons after they served as a mouthpi..., aw, never mind!!!!
At this point it seems that getting answers will have to wait, at least, for a new Congress and a new president.
WHY?!? IMPEACH NOW!!
Of course, the Times would never say THAT about this band of war criminals, so out the window with the credibility goes the New York Times editorial staff!
Ideally, there would be both truth and accountability. At the very minimum the public needs the full truth.
That's an insulting statement from the paper that splashed Iraq lies all over the front pages; insists on telling the 9/11/"Al-CIA-Duh" lies; and continues to present the "news" in the most biased, anti-Muslim, pro-Zionist way as to dismiss all its credibility!
Some will call this a backward-looking distraction, but only by fully understanding what Mr. Bush has done over eight years to distort the rule of law and violate civil liberties and human rights can Americans ever hope to repair the damage and ensure it does not happen again.
Yeah, like its all our fault!!!
It wouldn't be so bad if the Times didn't run so many elitist editorials, but gaaaaaa....
We've had ELECTIONS STOLEN and WHERE ARE YOU, Times?
Oh, that's right, they helped sabotage Ron Paul's campaign!
Again, close that case file, readers, on the vaunted NYT!
