Does anybody remember who controlled the entire Government of the U.S.A. on 9/11/01?
It was Clinton’s Obama’s Fault, of course!
This is the exploitation of the Americans who lost their lives on the morning of September 11, 2001 in order to further the Right Wing/Corporatist political agenda.
This is the exploitation of the suffering of ever family effected by 9/11.
This is the exploitation of emergency workers who served on 9/11. Many of them died on that tragic day.
This is the exploitation of the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor.
This is the shameless exploitation of every american, everywhere.
And where were these protesters in 2002? or 2003? or 2004? or 2005? or 2006? or 2007? or 2008?
But now that we have a Black Democratic President the Corporate intersts, their lobbyists, the RW media and the GOP choose to protest on the morning after the 8 year anniversary of 9/11/2001?
This can not stand unchallenged.
I refer to this.
Sign up for the 09.12.09 Protest at the Capitol!
It’s time to take the tea party movement directly to Washington, D.C. Please join thousands of local organizers and grassroots Americans from across the country as we gather in our nation’s capital to deliver a message to the politicians: Enough!
We are gathering on 9-12-2009 to deliver our message in person that we’ve had enough!
Freedomworks, if you are not aware, is the RW lobbying firm headed by the Ex Republic House Majority Leader Dick Armey, which has been behind the Fox News sponsored tea bagging party movement that miraculously materialized the moment the Republic party lost the Presidential election on 11/4/08.
They might as well name their event the 1/19/09 project.
We are about to learn exactly what was going on and where under the Bush/Cheney “Extra-ordinary” rendition program.
Lawyers for Binyam Mohamed, who spent some seven years in US custody, five of them at Guantanamo, say that Jeppesen UK, a subsidiary of Boeing, has agreed to the presentation of evidence about the “ghost flights” it allegedly operated for the CIA – off-the-grid private jets that transferred terrorist suspects to sites where they would be tortured.
Binyam Mohamed, if you recall, had his genitals mutilated by either the CIA or one of the host countries where he was tortured.
Mutilating genitals.
What could possibly justify genital mutilation, or even the torture program itself? It’s not like the Bush/Cheney Administration was above bald faced lying to us. In my opinion they did it because they can.
Larry King had James Carville and Liz Cheney on last night and the video of Rep. Mike Castle’s batshit insane constituents at the recent town hall came up. After playing the video where the woman shouts “I want my country white back!”, Larry says “That Lady is ticked” and then asks Carville “What do you think of this?”
Watch the video, transcript and batshit wingnut potential war criminal interpretation follows below.
Also, Attorney General Eric Holder’s contact info is posted below. If you REALLY want Liz Cheney to STFU, put her daddy on trial for war crimes.
Perhaps the worst incident at Abu Ghraib involved a girl aged 12 or 13 who screamed for help to her brother in an upper cell while stripped naked and beaten. Iraqi journalist Suhaib Badr-Addin al-Baz, who heard the girl’s screams, also witnessed an ill 15-year-old who was forced to run up and down with two heavy cans of water and beaten whenever he stopped. When he finally collapsed, guards stripped and poured cold water on him. Finally, a hooded man was brought in. When unhooded, the boy realized that the man was his father, who doubtless was being intimidated into confessing something upon sight of his brutalized son.
The women were passing messages out saying ‘Please come and kill me, because of what’s happened’ and basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys, children in cases that have been recorded. The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling.
I’ve referenced this this before, but this quote haunts me in my sleep.
Please, send an e-mail or call Attorney general Eric Holder. He is said to be strongly leaning towards naming a Special Prosecutor, let’s give him a little push in the right direction!
And the worst above all of that is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has. They are in total terror.It’s going to come out.“
There are people who will defend this. Terrible people.
Call Congress and AG Eric Holder TODAY and Demand Justice!
What more do you need in order to pick up the phone, send an e-mail and jump out of your chair to YELL LOUDER!
Yell Louder! Take Action against the Bush/Cheney criminals today. AG Holder is leaning towards a Special Prosecutor, H.Res 383 is calling for investigations and review, and now this . .
The House Intelligence Committee asked the CIA to provide documents about the now-canceled program to kill al-Qaida leaders, and agency officials said it would comply with the request, congressional officials said Tuesday.
~snip~
The House request for documents is likely a precursor to what would likely become a full-blown investigation into the secret operation and why the program was not disclosed to Congress. Panetta, meanwhile, has ordered a thorough internal review of the program, agency spokesman George Little said.
Please help recommend this diary there so people can call for action!
State Department Deputy Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs 2002-2003
Elizabeth Cheney
Who better to remain loyal to Dick Cheney as he committed war crimes. Guilty of complicity, Liz Cheney is a war criminal.
Titled the “Evolution of Presidential War Powers,” Cheney’s thesis, according to writer Zac Frank, argued that “constitutionally and historically, presidents have virtually unchecked powers in war.”
Contact AG Eric Holder and The White House to demand a Special Prosecutor to Investigate all aspects of the Bush/Cheney Administration today.
Contact Congress today and ask them to support H.Res 383 and a closed rule so that open public investigations of Bush/Cheney and their policies can begin in a special committee in the House of Representatives.
UPDATE! So far Edgar is in the lead with the only submission to today’s Bring Bush/Cheney to justice contest. That means the odds of your submission being just as good are already 50/50 (no offense Edgar! LOL)
Make your submission to our logo contest today. In a democracy ideas should compete with one another, unless this is a dictatorship, in which case I am cool with it, as long as I get to be the dictator.
Cheers
Good afternoon, good denizens of Docudharmia.
I am here today to solicit any help you may have in creating a logo for our upcoming action/diary series focusing on the Investigation and Prosecution of the Bush/Cheney Regime, and the roll back of illegal warrantless wiretapping, the Patriot Act, torture and other High crimes and War Crimes committed under their reign.
So, who wants to storm the gates with me?
We already have an excellent tool in the Petition to Prosecute that Docudharma already sponsors, but we can always find new visual aides that will help reader identify with this series and the effort behind it.
Submissions can be anything form press pics, graphic designs, personal pics, ANYTHING that will grab the attention of the average reader and let them know that we ignore the over-reaching of our Executive branch and the Government at large to our own peril.
Currently, a bill demanding just such an investigation is being reviewed by the House Rules Committee. You can read the bill here at Govtrack.com
Again, any and all help is appreciated in this combined effort to restore the Rule of Law to it’s pre-Bush/Cheney criminal state.
Any and all suggestions on any matter of this effort is, as always, very appreciated.
I would like to start an ongoing series of diaries that provides new information on the crimes of the Bush/Cheney administration and the need to investigate and prosecute those crimes, but I can not do it alone, and I need someone’s help.
If you have an active account at the Great Orange Boogeyman, that is even better
Investigate and Prosecute Bush/Cheney
Now that Torture News Roundup has been discontinued for the time being I would like to carry on the hard work of Meteor Blades, Valtin and Patriots Daily News Clearinghouse.
This will be an ongoing series of diaries detailing the evidence of criminal behavior engaged in by the Bush/Cheney Administration as well as the need to fully investigate and prosecute the Bush/Cheney Administration. I would like to find two or three other diarists who want to contribute to this series on a rotation so that we can keep others informed on a daily basis. If you wish to contribute please e-mail me at [email protected]
Recently the series Daily Torture News Roundup at Daily Kos was discontinued. I would like to carry on this fight, but I do not want to dairy the subject seven days a week.
If I can find 3 – 6 diarists who will rotate this series with me and crosspost here at Docudharma and on the Daily Kos. We can keep the issue in the news, and this will keep the issue on the forefront of priorities instead of just moving forward and pretending it is not there.
Suggestions for a name of this series are appreciated, or any other help you can provide. Any questions or suggestions are appreciated, and may be asked in the comments below.
Panetta: “Agency officials did indeed mislead Congress and did so since 2001.”

” Congress was not adequately informed about unspecified post – 9/11 activity, classified activity. ”

Some reports state that the lies were in regards to torture, others say they are not. Who is to say what these “false statements” were? I will leave the issue of what the CIA was lying about be discussed in the comments below.
