The Verdict:: The Summation
The Torture issue is all over the Blogs and Internet News and even foreign Online Papers, and it should be. Horrible Hideous things were Done in our Name MANY times....There must be Justice and there must be Prosecution for the Perpetrators and Orchestrators of the Crimes Against Humanity. The Officials at the Top who Rewrote laws to Protect Themselves and allow just activities put themselves above ANY law.
Today President Obama is going to speak to the CIA. Before Anyone goes to sooth the CIA's ruffled feathers, Someone should come to the American People and say that NEVER again will there be Torture,but also say that LAWS will be restored and that Crimes will be investigated. And there can be ONLY one person who restore the Honor on this, and that is OUR President who we all worked so hard to get elected. And this issue was one of many that was valuable when we pressed the lever that November morning. And yes, I am asking that he listen to THE People.....and We The People are Watching.
So today it is Torture Monday here...see the posts below.

It's a make or break issue for me. Obama as President was a compromise for me. Is he the new Torture President? Time will tell....Meanwhile I think I'll call the White House. Again.
Peace.
It is a critical issue...and we can not let it pass...I don't think he is a torture president- but he can not lead if he allows Crimes by the Bush Regime to go unpunished...the damage done by them is unrepairable...
and it can happen again....
3:30 PM Leon Panetta is speaking...talking about his values--
Interrogation will interrogate under your executive orders....with our values intact ((( gee - guess he forgot the T word ?)
and that "we are a nation at war " ( shit that sounds very bushie)....
( he looks upset...troubled...)
Reflection Not Retribution- we must not BLAME the past
( Excuse me- BUT Bush Tortured people- this Makes ALL of us unsafe and feeds terrorism- esp if it goes Swept Under the Carpet...SHAME has no bounds if they go forward without looking back...shit...)
Now Obama is about to speak...I need to say Obama should have spoken to the people before he trotted over to "make peace" with the CIA......now he is making jokes....godamnit- AFTER the memos were released we need to really clear that Americans are disgusted....and not impressed with the CIA right now....at all...
we want Answers.....and we are due those answers...I don't want to see the CIA mollycoddled and pampered right now- I want the Truth...
I might have to call this Black Monday......
Now Obama is talking to the CIA ....
he keeps saying how young they are..( yeah- but are they young bushies ???)
and now he patting them on the back...alot of fluff....WHY the fluffing ? WHY after those hideous memos would he fluff them up ? " Mistakes were made" ?????WHAT ????
I don't get it....
I just feel kind of sick....
So Here is HOW the MSM is spinning the Torture Memos:::
(1) CNN is spinning it- that Obama has made us unsafe by releasing the memos ( yes, I know - kind of perdictable in an assanine neoconal way- someone needs to tell Wolf that OBAMA is president now and the fearmongering is passe)...
(2) and MSNBC is still trying to figure out their position by the hour....and they really love being amazed that the CIA loves Obama....I understand that the rank and file are down and neeeded the moralre boost of an Obama visit- BUT they should also not be led to believe that they are off the hook....
Bob Baer is being interviewed by Tamryn Hall- and I think that most talking head anchors don't have a clue about WHAT those memos mean- or that they are a tip of a much larger iceberg....
