AP Headline: "No Charges Against CIA Officials for Waterboarding"
How magnanimous.
Yes, it's true, in Chicago you can indict a ham sandwich, but this one, even Tammany Hall couldn't convict.
What Pres Obama really said is that Government-as-Bully, (remember Travel Gate?) will not bankrupt some CIA officials having to defend themselves in acts that weren't crimes in the first place. The power of the government to convict is limited, but the power to bankrupt is absolute. Such "pardons" should be considered as tax refunds, part of the stimulus plan.
In our research on the
Bush-Lied People Died story and the subsequent impeachment charges brought against GW by city councils around the country, we cited the pathologies that underlie the ability by so many on the Left (especially in law schools) to create crimes in their minds which do not exist in reality, then retroactively indict public officials, to be especially troubling.
Now Mssr Obama is now granting pardons for some of those non-existent crimes, which moves one step beyond troubling.
But see how the insanity works, once in power? Mad dogs.
Forget that they are living in an parallel universe. They're trying to make us live there too. Such is tyranny, when calling off the dogs equates to Christian charity.
