Root Tugging
OK, I've been busy. Now on to the torture stuff. Let's see what I can make of this apparently new Judeo-Christian self-defense moral value.
The "compromise" (they have got to be tugging my root here) is nothing of the sort. Bush gets to keep "the program" and at the same time make legal all the illegal stuff the "interrogators"(they have my root again) were doing. And the amnesty goes back to the beginning of this "war president's" tenure.
Remember what I've said in the past about Rove? I would like nothing better than to have ol' Karl on a jobsite for just one day but there is no one better at what he does. He almost does better under pressure. He creates the "reality" I've written about. He creates the illusions.
The Republicans McCain, Warner, and Graham were sly weren't they? They were going to force W. to back down from the torture stuff. Then presto, elfoldo, they weren't anymore. Now you see torture, now you don't, you see interrogations. Orwellian Karl,when it all comes out in the wash, I predict, will have changed the word interrogation to actually mean torture.
All this hocus pocus by Republicans to strengthen their numbers for the election. Bush could care less, he's not going to abide by anything the Congress passes anyway. He's got his signing statements and his shredded Constitution to keep him warm. Bush was only interested in the amnesty part. He needed Congressional consent of the program, making them responsible, just like before Iraq, for the atrocity he ordered committed. Bush is looking at the very strong possibility of Democrats taking over the House and he's looking for some insurance. George, himself, has the most, oh, what do they call it?, ..exposure..yeah, that's it.
So in essence, if a multiple felon president is coming in at say 37% approval rating and his party is down 12-15% at 6 weeks out from a crucial election, what would you do? Hell yes. Get Congress to start printing "Get out of jail free" cards now before it's too late.

Hello Bluester and all,
The time is long past to stop focusing on symptoms and myriad details and finally seek lasting solutions. Until we address the core causes of the millennia of struggle and suffering that have bedeviled humanity, these repeating cycles of evil will never end.
Why do religious leaders and followers so often participate in and support blatant evil?
History is replete with examples of religious leaders and followers advocating, supporting, and participating in blatant evil. Regardless of attempts to shift or deny blame, history clearly records the widespread crimes of Christianity. Whether we're talking about the abominations of the Inquisition, Crusades, the greed and genocide of colonizers, slavery in the Americas, or the Bush administration's recent deeds and results, Christianity has always spawned great evil. The deeds of many Muslims and the state of Israel are also prime examples.
The paradox of adherents who speak of peace and good deeds contrasted with leaders and willing cohorts knowingly using religion for evil keeps the cycle of violence spinning through time. Why does religion seem to represent good while always serving as a constant source of deception, conflict, and the chosen tool of great deceivers? The answer is simple. The combination of faith and religion is a strong delusion purposely designed to affect one's ability to reason clearly. Regardless of the current pope's duplicitous talk about reason, faith and religion are the opposite of truth, wisdom, and justice and completely incompatible with logic.
Religion, like politics and money, creates a spiritual, conceptual, and karmic endless loop. By their very nature, they always create opponents and losers which leads to a never ending cycle of losers striving to become winners again, ad infinitum. This purposeful logic trap always creates myriad sources of conflict and injustice, regardless of often-stated ideals, which are always diluted by ignorance and delusion. The only way to stop the cycle is to convert or kill off all opponents or to end the systems and concepts that drive it.
Think it through, would the Creator of all knowledge and wisdom insist that you remain ignorant by simply believing what you have been told by obviously duplicitous religious founders and leaders? Would a compassionate Creator want you to participate in a system that guarantees injustice and suffering to your fellow souls? Isn’t it far more likely that religion is a tool of greedy men seeking to profit from the ignorance of followers and the strife it constantly foments? When you mix religion with the equally destructive delusions of money and politics, injustice, chaos, and the profits they generate are guaranteed.
