Neocons figure if they through enough shit around, no one will remember that they allowed the tragedy to happen. They are out of luck on that one. It will take decades for us to figure out what was their most disastrous choice. In eight years, Bush the Lesser and Darth Cheney left us too many disasters to sort through. I say put the neocons in a pen and hose them down. When they’ve come clean they’ll tear each other apart and leave the rest of us to rediscover peace without them.</p> Face it, neo-conservatives, all with shit for brains, were scared shitless that 9.11 actually happened especially since they’d been warned and ignored it.

More of this needs to be said. Kid gloves need to come OFF.

Torture lovers’ feelings should not be spared or coddled.

The argument’s completely wrong whether it was “enhanced interrogation” or “torture.” Look, since these nuts think torture works and they have their little Jack Bauer fantasies about how the scenes play out…ask them this: if it’s NOT torture, then WHY DOES IT WORK? You don’t think committed religiously motivated jihadi terrorist radicals could resist a little slapping around and scaring with bugs? That is, since in their view it works, that means it’s torture. Why would it work otherwise? </p> <p>Of course in the real world…it doesn’t work, it extracts false information…and it’s goddamn well still torture.</p> Nomenclature’s really beside the point.

Of course in the real world…it doesn’t work, it extracts false information…and it’s goddamn well still torture.

On the other hand, since I wrote that, they seem to be moving closer to embracing the term “torture”, and arguing that torture is justified, instead.
