The news of Eric Holder’s mandate on the special prosecutor to go after just those that actually engaged in the torture is being met with some strong criticism from the dems. Basically they are saying that it isn’t enough. I agree, but I am also going to be optimistic. A lot of these investigations start […]

The President just said that he is “hands of” when it comes to prosecuting torture and has “faith” in Eric Holder. It really sounds like he is passing the buck over to Holder and keeping himself out of any political firestorm that may come from prosecutions.

This is really a country of dumb asses.

Barney Frank delivers the smack down to some idiotic tea bagger. This is must see TV, but sadly the kind you won’t see on real TV.
