Glenn Greenwald: The CIA's impunity on "torture tapes" (10-7-11 Guardian)

2. We are more an Oligarchy than anything else nowadays.
They control the media, the voting machines and they pick which candidates we get to 'vote' for. Regardless of if McGrumpy or Obama won in 2008, the outcome in this matter (and many others) would be the same.
