Wrap your flag around this patriots

To all those true Americans who have risen to the defense of waterboarding, and other forms of torture as a means to defend our beloved homeland, read what Seymour Hersh has to say about the dirty secrets of Abu Ghraib.

Hersh is careful not to speak until he has the facts on topics, and he's rarely been wrong.

And when you're done reading, think about how sodomizing a boy in front of his mother protects the homeland and makes this country great. You'll have to reach deep into the playbook of the Catholic church to come up with the appropriate defense.

The leaders in the Bush administration, all the way to Bush himself, and the leaders in the military and secret agencies are culpable in allowing this country to sink to despicable levels of official torture. And if Obama doesn't do something about it, he's responsible too.

And who do you think is more credible?

Sy Hersh continues to speak out about the bellicose blusterings of the White House over Iran, and White House Press Secretary Dana Perino scolds Hersh without denying the substance of his claims. Good segment on Countdown last night.

Be scared, be very scared

Seymour Hersh has had a line on the Bush administration from the beginning, and nearly everything he has "predicted" has come to pass.

In the most recent issue of the New Yorker, he writes about the Bush administration plans for attacking Iran.

And who, amongst our opposition leaders will stand up to him? Reid? Pelosi? Clinton? Obama? Mario Cuomo?

We're in for some bad shit.
