About Damn Time

Finally somebody in the frikking Mainstream Media does their job. Of course its over a week old now, but better late than never right? From the New York Times.

Most Americans have long known that the horrors of Abu Ghraib were not the work of a few low-ranking sociopaths. All but President Bush’s most unquestioning supporters recognized the chain of unprincipled decisions that led to the abuse, torture and death in prisons run by the American military and intelligence services.

Now, a bipartisan report by the Senate Armed Services Committee has made what amounts to a strong case for bringing criminal charges against former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld; his legal counsel, William J. Haynes; and potentially other top officials, including the former White House counsel Alberto Gonzales and David Addington, Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff.

The report shows how actions by these men “led directly” to what happened at Abu Ghraib, in Afghanistan, in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and in secret C.I.A. prisons.


I wonder if any other media folk have the guts to actually report on this now. Yes TIME magazine I'm looking at you!

War Crimes Much?

Just how long will it be before our Mainstream Media folks stop salivating over "Blago Gate" and start commenting on the newly released the report from the Senate Armed Services committee on the abuses of detainees in U.S. custody which points the finger of responsibility away from the soldiers involved in the abuses and sqarely at the Bush administration for sanctioning them in the first place? Maybe I can help them along a bit....

One bleeping story, thats all I'm bleeping asking for here. What the bleep do I have to do to get these bleeping journalists to do their bleeping job. Ill tell you what, I am not going to keep asking these bleeping questions without getting some bleeping results. The report is bleeping golden, its a great bleeping story just waiting to be written. But these motherbleepers have their heads up their bleeps. Maybe I should just parachute my bleep there and do the bleeping job myself. Bleep yeah. But I am not doing this motherbleeping job for free. Bleep that!


Welp I tried
