Supreme Court Case Against Shell As A Person, For Torture

Well, these "companies" are "people", so lets charge them with crimes as "people". CEOs on orange jump suits sounds great. It won't happen though, because these "companies" have "money". So we can all fuck off, because we don't.

It should make for an interesting hearing, and I will post the audio Friday.

US Soldier Waterboards 4 Year Old Daughter

Hmm, nothing on CNN, NYT about this, very strange? Pretty horrible shit.

Sky News and NYP did cover it.; http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/US-Girl-Four-Waterboarded-By-Her-Father-Because-She-Allegedly-Refused-To-Say-Her-Letters/Article/201002215544690

I can't even find a mention in local news in Tacoma.

Not a peep on the Army site; http://www.army.mil/news/

Michael Hayden Is Mad

Mad at President Obama for letting these 4 documents about the US use of torture out into the wild. I see his point, he is worried about winding up in jail, so it's not a shock that he is against this happening. Maybe he could try being against violating the Geneva Convention.

And I pat myself on the back for staying away from bald jokes, or spewing what kind of polish to use on the top, or being a good model for future missile technology.

And look at all those medals! He never saw a day of combat, but gets all these trinkets!! So cool to be him...

A Wrench In The Obama Plans

So if the UN says letting the dudes who did the waterboarding off the hook is a "no no" how does he get around it?

Oh right, he will do what most countries do and just ignore the UN. It's ok, they won't do anything about it. The rest of the world will, maybe.

Works for me, it has been a thorn in our side and sending these creeps to their home countryies will probably be sure death anyway.
