3. Good. The more impact their bad decisions have on their lives, the better.

And hopefully, this action will force U.S. officials to get off their sorry duffs and do something about this! It's not going to go away, which is a good thing.

[L. Coyote]

11. Good Point. Are they also dominated by Federalists?

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. Owww..excellent point....

I gotta admire the systematic takeover of the legal system, the planting of law professors, judges, Federal Prosecutors, state legislators, etc, that went on since 2000, if not before.
Mental images of scads of pod people....

15. office of Presidency

LaRouche made the point in last Saturday's 3 hour web cast that the President needs to be guided by his advisers and not take flight as a narcissistic, heavy ego Nero. And more needs to be thought regarding how best to construct the Office of the Presidency so as to minimize the damage from the President's weaknesses. Its not like he has Divine guidance and powers of a Monarch.

Obama Protects CIA Torture Memos

Hope Abandoned
April 10 / 12, 2009
By CHRIS FLOYD

It was obvious from the moment that Barack Obama appointed Leon Panetta to head the CIA that there was going to be no serious investigation -- much less prosecution -- of the high crimes of torture committed by the agency at the order of the Bush White House. Panetta, a Clinton retread (who actually began his career in the Nixon administration), has always been a bland, feckless, obedient servant of the Establishment; he has no outside power base, no pull, no heft, no popularity -- nothing that would enable him to grab hold of the CIA with both hands and clean that fetid, blood-encrusted house. And of course, it was precisely this kind of powerless figure that Barack Obama wanted in the post.

The appointment was very typical of the Obama operation. Panetta had made a few very mild statements over the years that would allow him to be passed off as some kind of "progressive" in the witless, substanceless "process stories" that the corporate media do for new government appointees. This would be enough to keep the progressive "base" -- which was overwhelmingly inclined to give Obama every benefit of every doubt -- lulled long enough to get the patsy into the job. Of course, to actually get the job, Panetta had to make it clear to Congress that he wasn't going to stir up any trouble on the torture front, and was willing to play along with anything the Unitary Executive might order him to do. But the corp-media made little of this, concentrating instead on Panetta's rote assertions that "America doesn't torture," and his embrace of the Army Field Manual as the standard for CIA interrogation. (Of course, the vaunted manual also allows practices that any rational human being would consider torture, but that's another story.)
