General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

WE DON'T TORTURE...except we did,
we just lied about it, and that makes it all right! Jon Stewart tells the truth. Again:
I just wish the Obama admin. would investigate these crimes and throw people in prison if that's where the investigation leads. I'm disappointed with Obama on this one. Very disappointed.
I'm disappointed too, but there may be a method in Mr. Obama's handling of this.
He may be waiting for the American people to want to move forward with the investigation so that it will be what THEY want done and not seen as a partisan issue.

The justification for not prosecuting those involved in torture is that they were 'just following orders'.

By the same logic, the Nazis at Nuremburg should have been found innocent...
AND we not only tried Japanese soldiers for water boarding during WW2 but we hanged them for that crime.
They justify it all by saying that "IT WORKED" and Bush kept us safe and all that nonsense.
Let's arrest John Yoo, Gonzo and Judge Bybee and water-board them until we can decide which charges to file!
I think we need to try Bybee and Yoo. They formulated the logic and I believe they need their day in court to see how the logic flies...
That waterboarding really does the trick.

I'll bet they got some dandy information from Khalid Shaikh Mohammed after about 150 or so episodes.
Ya think?
