Maybe the Department of Justice should change its name to something that more accurately describes the things that go on there and they support.

Unbelievable. These people set the guidelines for torture, believed the President had the power to massacre civilians and in the end they will only be guilty of displaying “poor judgment.”

Regent University School of Law, founded by televangelist Pat Robertson to provide "Christian leadership to change the world," has worked hard in its two-decade history to upgrade its reputation, fighting past years when a majority of its graduates couldn't pass the bar exam and leading up to recent victories over Ivy League teams in national law student competitions.
But even in its darker days, Regent has had no better friend than the Bush administration. Graduates of the law school have been among the most influential of the more than 150 Regent University alumni hired to federal government positions since President Bush took office in 2001, according to a university website.

The articles main bases is that the FORMER president COULD have wiped out entire towns...did he?
Then it seems like they realized he DIDN'T do that, so they focus on the "torture" aspect.
The report, more than four years in the making, is filled with new details into how a small group of lawyers at the Justice Department, the CIA, and the White House crafted the legal arguments that gave the green light to some of the most controversial tactics in the Bush administration's war on terror.

There aren't just a "few."
It's too deep, and no one knows enough to do anything at this point, because all we have to go on is the media.
You can only dismantle through the inside.

How many times have I heard BUSH state his first goal was to protect the safety of citizens as used to justify trampling the constitution? I think that was his only excuse. Now we find out he is seeking advise on whether he had the ability to massacre citizens?
These attorneys should be disbarred. Just because a President follows an attorney ill advice does not get them out of the loop of consequences. Talk about a conspiracy to commit high crimes.

An interesting thought crossed my mind while reading this thread, or perhaps ironic is a better word. Didn't Janet Reno set the precedent for this at Waco?

I am not worried about the member posting it, its the timing of the article from Newsweek. The articles main bases is that the FORMER president COULD have wiped out entire towns...did he? Then it seems like they realized he DIDN'T do that, so they focus on the "torture" aspect. The thing is, why didn't the article state that the current administration hasn't done anything to change what their bitching about?

If you don't like Bush, according to Lord Sean Hannity, you are a commie, hippie, socialist, and a fascist.

Well, I think they were talking about massacring American citizens. As far as villages go, wasn't there some village named Fallujah that was pretty much massacred because they dared to fight back against the Decider's "civilian contractors"?
