WHY????????????????
Edited on Mon Apr-20-09 11:44 AM by JFN1
Why are these MONSTERS getting a free pass?

Why does it seem that every single politician in Washington is AFRAID of these MONSTERS?

Did the MONSTERS pick up some bad shit about them, when they were being illegally wiretapped?

Are they being bribed not to prosecute?

Are they being threatened if they do prosecute?

If so, WITH WHAT???????

WHAT?? What the FUCK is wrong with these people? Does the rule of law truly mean nothing, if you are rich and well-connected????????

You or I will be prosecuted for a parking ticket, but these "people" can break US and international law and treaty - and get NOTHING for it?

No consequences? Not even an investigation???????????

If I need any further evidence that the American experiment has FAILED, I can't imagine what it is.

Reward the rich. Stomp on the poor. Ignore the law.

It's the new American way.

2. AH BULLSHIT.
Just because you don't have an ice cream in your hand doesn't mean you won't get one after dinner.

Stop snivelling.

10. At which point do we decide the time for Ice-Cream has passed?
Will we wish we had spoken out at that point if OP comes to pass?

6. WHY???????????????? don't you do something about it?
You are, afterall, the one that you have been waiting for.

Seems to me, in a democracy, that should be the American Way! :patriot:

8. I'm mostly homebound and disabled.
Outside of letters, phone calls, donations, and blog articles, what can I do that I have not already done? Please, enlighten me.

21. Look at my signature.

I created over 100 different handbills with shopping lists attached for people to print out and leave in their shopping cart when they finished shopping, in an effort to spread the truth during the Bush years. Here, check it out: http://justicefornone.com/handbills/index.htm And check out my blog (at the root) while you are at it. And I don't have a single advertisement on my blog - I pay for it out of my own pocket.

7. There's too much blood on too many politicians hand to risk prosecution.
Prosecuting the "little fish" would endanger the "big fish" sitting in congress or in the administration.

19. In what country?
When has this country ever prosecuted top officials for criminal activity? Do you think the first time the CIA tortured was in 2002? What do you think we teach at the School of the America's?

15. You don't believe it will help to change the world's opinion of the U.S.?
Do you believe this for all criminals, or just Bush and friends?

18. Surely you don't believe..
that Bush will ever see the inside of a courtroom? There will be fall-guys but it will not be Bush. I think a refresher in the Iran/Contra prosecution is a good indicator of how this will proceed.

22. Some folks forget this isn't a John Wayne western.
As long as Poppy Bush is alive things will proceed exactly as they always have on that front.

27. I don't think the world is as...
gullible as the American people. After all, they've had to deal with the bombs and torture and such for generations. If there were any 'justice' to be had, it would be from the detainee's suing the shit out of the United States Government. As for all 'criminals' we incarcerate more people than any place on the planet. So there's your American 'justice'.

17. I think we can guess that our entire US Congress is buyable and/or able to be blackmailed
They all need to be thrown out of office....immediately....


They are able to get away with it because we keep accepting it.

26. Blackmail and Murder
We now KNOW that they were using the NSA intercepts for blackmail.


and after not one but TWO planes carrying Democrats in tight Senate races went down within 2 years, we know what they will do if blackmail doesn't work:
