The Clouds Gather

The U.S. Senate released a report today that informs the American people that torturing suspected terrorists in custody was discussed at the highest levels of the W. administration. He gave the go-ahead for the dirty work after being assured that 100% of U.S. military volunteers in water-boarding--what to call it, practice--broke and spilled whatever beans they were told not to spill. Festus, in his boots and cowboy hat, holding his near-beer, and giving full reign to a good ole Midland-style blackout said, "Hell, yes! Wanted dead or alive! Bring it on! Axis of evil! It'll be good for bidnit!"

At the same time military and intelligence retirees were all over TV advising the viewing audience--no doubt small--that torture usually brought the opposite of the intended outcome: the victim was likely to say anything just to have the pain stopped. But W. is the feather that Garry Trudeau used to signify the presence of Dan Quayle, he was kept aloft by any putrid, gassy release that occured in his vicinity; he did what he did and refused to ever reconsider.

Lying to the American people to get us into a war that only made sense in his own head, and torture, will be at the top of the bill of indictment when history fully assesses this oaf.
