Many have warned us!Posted Thursday, August 27, 2009, at 8:35 AM
How many people have found themselves being investigated for doing their jobs? How many have followed the current directive and later been prosecuted or lost their job because of it? This CIA investigation is playing right into our enemies hands. The terrorist write about it and advise their own people that if they are imprisioned to complain about being tortured! It's that simple! I shouldn't be shocked over the current state of ignorance and stupidity, yet here I am with mouth wide-open in shock! Jeeze, what the h-e-double hockeysticks is going to happen next? Our country was saved of numerous terrorist attacks on mass transit and public buildings and large gatherings using the information that was tortured out of our enemies. OMG! The crying liberals are freaking out over sleep deprivation to the terrorist? I've been sleep deprived for 20-something years since my first child was born and I haven't been given any sympathy! And water torture! The sink in my kitchen and the shower head next to my bedroom has dripped repeatly every few seconds for the past 2 years! In sterio, drip, drip drip! I should be in a mental hospital!
Thousands of lives saved by CIA operative following the approved interogation methods, yet a small percentage of people are going to allow those heros to be prosecuted. Why would anyone want to work for the country anymore? Why would anyone take a border patrol job either? How do the police and firemen ever get anything done without fearing that later they will be tried as the criminal? Where do you think this is going? I can tell you that the fabric of society is being torn apart, one stitch at a time until it will unravel completely. Remember that many have tried to warn us.

I've lived in Mtn Home for over 20 years. I love my city and my country. Since I am a writer, my decision to blog here seemed appropriate. I enjoy acting so I've been blessed with the opportunity to work on some independent films and with Prairie Dog Productions and Bogus Creek Ranch. I hope that something I have to write about has some value for others or just amuses someone.

Can you imagine the fallout we'd have from the left if we were BE-HEADING these guys as THEY DO TO OURS?
And the WHITE HOUSE is gonna be in charge of it now....................television and beer for all!
These dirty liberals in D.C. who have NEVER carried a pack and rifle into combat should have NO SAY WHATSOVER in how we get information out of these dirtbags.
And if they're going to keep RELEASING them back into the terrorist world, our generals should bring this entire fiasco to a HALT, and get our troops HOME RIGHT NOW.
Obama and all who give him allegience are NOT worth dying for. And this isn't for "God, Country and Mom's apple pie" to BEGIN WITH!
Good Blog Kim, I think that it is a sad day if they prosecute these men for doing their job. giving away our interigation tactics only puts this country at further risk. Is Obama really out to help this country? A question I constenatly ask myself. Bottom line these CIA agents saved lifes and are hero's in my eyes.
I would be curious to figure out why Ms. Nancy decided to pursue this venture now and not in the past? I think that she is wasting time by pursuing this. The only officials that need to investigate this are the CIA and members of the armed forces. Upper crust senators who have no experience in this realm need to pick other battles to wage.
Because most liberals work for the "other side", Twil, that's why. Like Ted Kennedy, who we're finally rid of. Here's a guy who made a FORTY-SIX year career out of trying to not only dis-arm the honest in this country, but dis-arm the country as well, as he tried to get us to dismantle our nuclear capability.............figuring our enemies would see this as some kind of gesture and do the same.
Princess Pelosi thinks she is the all powerful D.C. Madam now, just like Holder, who obviously doesn't answer to Obama anymore..............man, I KNEW Obama was just a puppet! They needed his "charm and charisma to get their party back in the White House, and from that point on, he would be little more than mere window dressing.
Maybe Nancy has been smelling too much fuel vapors from her new airliner that we're paying for.
Kennedy. One of the most corrupt politicians of our time. Born into aristocracy, and spent nearly HALF A CENTURY in a job that should last no more than two terms. He was a socialist before it became popular.
Now, as a guy fighting cancer myself for the last 7 years, I do not wish it on anybody, but it's a damned shame that THIS is what it took to get rid of that guy. The people of Massachusetts haven't been smart enough to vote that pompous windbag OUT.
He was a prime example of why there needs to be term limits, since the people aren't smart enough to "change their socks" at least once every decade.
And for the record Twil, I'm upset with FOX news right now, although it's my favorite network. Geraldo's magnificent lament was expected, but I think O'Reilly gave Kennedy a little too much coverage and FAILED to remind the public of all the times Kennedy went after private gun owners as a method of stopping crime. All his attempts to BAN hunting, hunting ammo, his PRO-amnesty stance and socialist "Take from the have's and give to the have-nots" agendas.
His death was a loss for his family, but a gain for this country.
Does anyone smell a Rat here check out the latest on Pelosi.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has launched an urgent effort to raise $100,000 by Monday to help combat what she calls GOP "smears" about health care reform.
"Republican opponents of reform are coming out with one outrageous smear after the next, all aimed at derailing our progress. We must be able to counter their special interest-funded attacks and set the record straight," Pelosi wrote in a letter to Democratic supporters.
"That's why I have set a goal of raising $100,000 in grassroots donations before the August FEC fundraising deadline," says Pelosi.
Pelosi and Democrats are clearly worried that they've lost momentum on health care reform this month, and many in her caucus have been crushed by opposition at town hall events.
Pelosi's appeal is aimed at small donors, and she asks for donations of $5 or more in her letter.
Democrats for weeks have been on the defensive, accusing Republicans of mischaracterizing their reform effort. President Barack Obama fired back several weeks ago after Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), a key Republican negotiator on the Senate Finance Committee, said the Democratic push threatened to "pull the plug on grandma."
Now, Pelosi is pushing back.
"Republicans are doing everything they can to spread the lies they hope will kill health insurance reform," Pelosi writes at the end of the e-mail. "Please make a generous financial contribution to help Democrats get the truth out and fight GOP smears."
And what did that have to do with your question on PrincesS Pelosi? Very little. I just felt like venting a little relief!
"Lies" eh? Pelosi wouldn't know TRUTH if it bit her on the butt.
I suppose these same Republicans are also spreading lies about the NINE trillion dollar debt Obama has given us. All of these "takeovers" are certainly some sort of subterfuge created by the GOP, and of course, all of czars....SOME of them KNOWN COMMUNISTS are just lies and cheap propanganda displayed by the "radical right"..........yeah, that's it.
Nancy's new airliner was a cheap shot, obviously a superimposed photo, where the rightwing was actually trying to cover up her little LearJet that she ACTUALLY taxes us for.
They're LIARS AND THIEVES...........EVERY ONE of them!
We don't have to imagine what happens when the police are prosecuted for doing their jobs. I can recall a few incidents, but one of the most well known can be reviewed at:
http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/referen...
Comparing the CIA's waterboarding and sleep deprivation techniques to one's own self induced sleep deprivation brought about by one's decisions to bear children, compounded by deferring routine maintenance to one's own home is a gross oversimplification of just one aspect of the CIA's mission. One may begin wrapping their head around the interrogation issue at
http://www.newsweek.com/id/213620 But don't stop there, take a chance, go out on a limb and go to a library or maybe Amazon.com and read up.
On the other hand, expecting the CIA to police itself is naive, to say the least. At the risk of going over our heads with oversimplification, lets say for instance you suffered an assault by four policemen. (Check out this link again http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/referen... Now from a truthseekers standpoint, would you expect an internal investigation to yield any believable results?
As far as harsh interrogation goes, I'm with McCain. http://mccain.senate.gov/public/index.cf... By the way, our "Liberal" president's current policy mirrors this statement. Read all of http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/08/...
Where does this group of bloggers draw the line between truth tellers and liars and thieves? The stories at http://www.idahostatesman.com/213/index.... aren't about "most liberals".
Who are the "known communists" anyway? I remember one of those who warned us. Read about him at

Hi Dave. Oh, so good to see another person here. I'm not quite sure from your post and the webpages you listed where you stand.
My comparing sleep and water torture to my own life was simply humor, nothing less. Okay, maybe not completely. It was meant to convey the idea that this should not be considered horrible torture, though. Preventing a known terrorist who helped plan 9-11, from sleeping, though psycologically torture, certainly isn't cruel and usual punishment. For the sake of all that is good, they killed our people. We are supposed to give them a buffet complete with your choice of beverages and a comfy room and nice things? These were bad, evil men! Heck, if we are to treat criminals so well (which in many cases we do) then what is the incentive for anyone to be a good person.
The fact that the govt wants to make these CIA officials doing the job that was at that time within the guidelines is pure and simple treason. I just can't figure this out. However the post about communist was also very confusing. Is this some "Crucible" comparison? That we are on a witch-hunt by questioning and researching the motives of liberals? Obama, himself called for and promised transparency, yet has closed door secret meetings and we are the ones who are wrong by demanding to know what the heck is really going on? We've been warned by countless people that the collaspe of our democracy was coming if we didn't wise up. Too many have lived such a sweet life of freedon that we missed the warning signs. (Time 7:02)
Dave Thompson..............does the name Van Jones ring a bell? Obama's new "green czar" is a SELF-ADMITTED communist
Not hard at all to draw the line between lies and truth.........If it flows with what our founding fathers drew up, it's good to go. If it leads us in Hitler's and Stalin's direction, it's bad.
Things were pretty good in this country until the corrupt back in D.C. started "making their own rules."
But this is LARGELY (if not SOLELY) OUR collective fault. You can't hire burglers to watch your home, and then complain upon your return that you've been robbed.
When you continue to re-elect the BUMS, well.........you just "get what you pay for."
A great number of those old crocks like Specter, Dodd and McCain belong in a home. Or are the voters in this country so "programmed" that the bureaucrats literally have to DIE before we get them out of office?
We're being gradually taken over by communists, and those too stupid or selectively blind to see that, need NOT to be voting.
I played music yesterday at Owen Montrose's funeral. He'd been a World War II sailor on the battleship Wisconsin. he often talked about what has been eroding in this country over the last 20 years or so. I've seen a lot of it myself.
I deeply admire our World War II vets. They fought the last JUSTIFIED war we've been engaged in. They were caught unprepared at Pearl Harbor.
America was unprepared, but everybody got together, re-tooled the factories, "Rosie" replaced Ralph as Ralph went to war, and in less than four years, we whipped Hitler and Hirohito BOTH over a two ocean war, having had to rise from the ashes to do it.
Korea is still hostile, we walked out of Vietnam after 14 years and 58,000 lives.............and we've been in Iraq/Afghanistan HOW LONG now?
Today our elected officials are giving it all away, and guys like Owen Montrose have every RIGHT to be mad about it. And so do I.
But it is WE.....who still have the privilege of VOTING them in and out (which is NOT the case in a lot of countries), who have the power to "hire and fire" but SHAMEDLY don't do it.
That's why Ross Perot said in 1992, quote......"If you wanna know what's wrong in America, go look in the mirror."
I knew EXACTLY what he meant. How many of YOU out there did? Not enough, obviously..............and now we're headed for socialism, free speech bans, individual liberty erosions and NINE trillion now.
Bouncer..............ya out there? Gunshow at the Sagebrush Shufflers barn on McMurty today and tomorrow. Haven't heard if it's of any size, but I think I'll grab a cup and pop in there this morning.
Maybe I can find one of these "loopholes" we're supposed to have! Been going to gunshows over 25 years now and haven't found any loopholes yet, but the Democrats swear up and down we're buying everything from belt-fed machineguns to rocket launchers at these shows, then running them across the border along with truckloads of handgrenades.
Gee, I always wanted my own Sherman tank.....maybe I'll get lucky down there this morning! Opens at nine, I understand.
Ms. Pelosi has had influence for a few years and so could have begun this loony crusade in the past. I wonder what event or idea caused her to fall off the turnip truck finally? She obviously has passion and some expertise but not on this front. She has many other battles to wage and could stop wasting our time and money on this.
How was the gun show Mike? Did you find your tank or at least something to bring home?
Kim, thank you for your comments. One day we shall meet up. Moxie can be quite the spot some days. Keep up the good work. You are a gifted writer and a wonderful actress. Never lose sight of your dreams and always be true to yourself and what you truly believe in. I look forward to reading your stuff for years to come. I am sure there is a movie to be made from the WECRD drama. Might be hard to "cast" the board. Oh well, we will worry about that later. Take care and keep up the good work. All of my best to Ken. Go girl!
Missy.............gunshow is pretty good for a small town event. Naw, didn't find anything else I needed, but it's always good to rub elbows with my "Bro's" out there!
Been busy all day, gonna try to get in a short nap before we play tonight................later!
