making matters worse

bush still wants the cia to torture people. is the cia somehow limited to torturing 'enemy combatants', or can they torture whoever they want? like you. i'm being serious here, people. this government has shown it has no problem saying one thing and doing something else. it wrote memos saying the geneva convention doesn't apply to it. it tortured prisoners in iraq, and may be holding them secretly in other countries where it can torture people. why can't they spirit you away to, say, armenia and pull out your fingernails? this is the kind of authoritarian government the soviets promulgated so well. we only barely shut down bush's plan to force americans to rat on each other, the way they did in the ussr. hasn't anyone read '1984'? the republicans are taking us there. doesn't anyone know anything about the fall of the roman empire? all empires die. america will be no exception. the republicans are accelerating the process, though.
