It has gotten to the point where the working definition of democracy in this country is something Orwell would be proud of. The Obama Administration’s refusal to take action against torturers is beyond human comprehension.
Waterboarding once is torture, 266 times bespeaks the utter failure of a free country. I can’t say it any better than Mikhaela B. Reid does in this cartoon. Reid describes herself as an “angry cartoonist” and it sure seems to me that anger is exactly what we should feel, along with devastation and grief.
And then we better get up, start shouting, and keep shouting truth to power until we can no longer ignore the fact that the empire is butt naked. What is happening is unacceptable and we elected Mr. Obama for the purpose of healing our country and that absolutely cannot be done until the perpetrators of the treasonous policies of the Bush administration are brought to justice.
