Stand and Deliver

The antidemocratic, anti-Constitutional, forces that tried torturing captives into confessing Sadaam ordered them to carry out the September 11 attacks (see Senate Armed Services Committee Report) are now trying to torture the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States into confessing she shares their guilt. This is consistent with the purposes of torture; coercion and blackmail.
They failed to extract Sadaam's imaginary orders to the jihadi animals because they did not exist. They will fail to blackmail the Speaker because a) the disinformation report used to blackmail the Speaker has itself been subverted by the Director of Central Intelligence and, more importantly, b) we don't give a shit.
If speaker Pelosi shares guilt with the dubya criminals, and that's a big IF, than she must share their punishment. What is more likely is that she and other Congressional leaders were snared by the dubya regime's briefings as part of a GOP protection racket; nice little political career you got here - be a shame if anything happened to it.
I don't doubt that leaders of the Opposition were cowed into submission to the dubya torture program. That only proves that torture works - not to protect the country from our enemies but to protect the regime from the People.
The President has tried to play nice with the torturers. He's tried a policy of letting bygones be bygones. He's tried to tell us to look to the future and not worry about the past. Now we see why that won't work. It only emboldens them, to borrow a pet phrase from the Party of Torture.
If we take bin Laden alive, I won't object if the torturers peel the flesh from his living body with super-heated vice grips. Just for the fun of it. Hell, put the whole auto-da-fe on Pay-per-View as the opener for the next All Star Pro Wrassling card. Use the revenue to pay the next round of AIG's unearned bonuses. I don't give a fuck.
But now that the torturers are turning their instruments of coercion and blackmail on our elected leaders, I say enough is enough. Investigate em. Charge em. Try em. Convict em.
All of em.
