Re: Cheney calls for release of all memos related to "enhanced" interrogation techniq
At last someone really gets it. The Professur admits the guilty parties should be tried for their part in authorizing torture.
The one thing that leaves a question is; "it's gotta be better to go down as a successful torturer than in incompetent one."
In reality, there is no proof any of the methods used to torture were successful. So far, every report and/or example presented by those trying to weasel their way out of this mess has been discredited. But in an effort to make the use of torture acceptable, the right wing continually regurgitates false statements. Take Cheney's daughter, who, in an appearance on Fox cable talk show, backed up her father's story that the use of torture got the information needed to prevent an attack on the tallest building in Los Angeles. Memos and other documentation have verified information re: attack in L.A. was discovered six months prior to the use of torture.
When it comes to giving up constitutional rights, it seems when constitutional rights are given up, it has been by the right wing. All indications are, the left has a greater interest in having the constitution and laws of the land work for all Americans rather than a select few.
Regardless of additional commentary, the Professur says the guilty parties should be hung like sheep, in other words, the laws of the land and international community should be upheld and the guilty must be tried for their crimes. If found guilty and the penalty is hanging, so be it.
I believe the expression is, "I'd rather be hung for a sheep as a lamb"
Obviously he expects the "the ends justify the means" crowd to appreciate the success of those methods. After all, it's gotta be better to go down as a successful torturer than in incompetent one.
Frankly, I don't see what the big issue is. You liberals give up your constitutional rights daily in the name of safety and security. This is just more of the same.
