Another Torture Twofer
First, with the fall out from the Senate torture report, former Bush Administration officials involved in the torture policy implementation are nervous about travel abroad, where they could face arrest on criminal charges. Foremost among those would be Dumbya himself, who has cancelled plans to attend a charity event in Geneva, Switzerland on February 12 because of the real possibility that he might be arrested and charged with war crimes.
Second, Jon Stewart demolished former (Vice) President and torture enthusiast Dick "The Dick" Cheney on the Daily Show last night, dissecting his shameful performance on Press the Meat. Every sly deception, every cynical statement by The Dick is examined and shot down. We have to agree with Stewart's conclusion: thank goodness that Dumbya didn't die in office. Let's send The Dick on a world tour, shall we?
