Who are “the conspiracy people,” and if “it” is as furtively “ugly” as you suggest it is, doesn’t that make you one of them?

What was also obvious from this compelling video is that the Federal Judiciary works hand-in-hand with the Main Justice Department; they are on the same side, and that side is Just-Us, not justice.

Both are accomplished and efficient cover-up and white-wash artists.

Finally, the FBI needs a new name: FIB.

I do think the quality is lessened but that’s what makes Radley so good. Remember a lot of the full posts now made would be covered in a roundup post by Radley. I know I visit now weekly, from daily before. I hope to see Radley resume his position soon, but think the substitutes are doing a solid B+.

If you’re going to post to an hour long speech you should at least try to find a transcript. Some of us don’t have an hour to waste watching video.

Yeah, ’cause the _true_, *unwritten* subtext of that story was secretly about the DOJ’s lust for brown-people torture. Along with the GOP still being pissed off about Watergate, wanting to “compete the transformation of the DOJ” – who hired Reno & Holder again? – and all that. Thank God you & you alone were able to ferret out what that video & speech **really** meant.

Project much?

This is consistent with the decision by the Obama administration not to further investigate torture. One widely-speculated-upon reason for this is that the Bush DOJ was in it up to their necks, and thus that prosecuting anyone over the use of torture would involve the defense producing signed memos from the DOJ authorizing everything.

A couple of other problems:

1. The American public has been very supportive of torturing people with brown skin from other countries who might be terrorists . The jury pool is already poisoned in favor of the defense…and the backlash against the DOJ and the administration would be insane (freedom hating prosecutors instituting shariah law on CIA warriors who protected us!!!!)

2. The GOP would absolutely retaliate by using the DOJ to go after every democrat possible when they next held the Presidency. They are still pissed off about Watergate, fer Chissakes! Essentially, the GOP would complete the transformation of the DOJ into a political police force and use it to punish every political enemy. We saw evidence of this under Bush (remember Monica Goodling? Using religious tests for hiring DOJ lawyers?) and there would be nothing stopping them from trying to prosecute every member of the Obama administration for anything they coujld make up. It would also pretty much destroy what is left of our Constitution, but that is a secondary consideration when you are most interested in wielding raw power.

We are becoming more and more like the old East Germany every day.

There was less difference between the US and East Germany then people like to admit. Just because you could vacation in another country didn’t mean your government wasn’t a lawless bunch of murderers.

Naturally, the government-run media says nothing about this. Naturally, it never came up at his confirmation hearings: might be racist. Naturally, Romney won’t touch it with a 50-ft. pole.

one only can imagine the crimes that Holder now is concealing.

I guess he got sloppy in his older age with Fast and Furious. Oh wait, that’s right, all of the liberal readers of the Agitator already proved that that was just a big misunderstanding…
