    Yeah, he really had me fooled with that rule of law crap. The ACLU put out the autopsy report from the Department Of Defense on Bush’s little torture program and it’s got Homicide written all over it. These innocent people were beaten to death in their secret prisons and Obama let them walk on all of it. Gotta look forward ya know. What an -hole!

    Nearly everyone knows that government claims of terror are bs false flag operations. Al ciada was created by members of both parties principally brezinski. This is just another rat covering his now that he realizes most of the PUblic know the war on terror is bogus.

    The message is yes, there could have been staged terror during Bush’s term, but you see, it wasn’t really carried out. Now go back to your hovel and forget about 911.

    the poin is, they were manipulating the “terrpr” alert for political gain, i.e. forcing a government agency, to do something contrary to the well being of the country for political gain, thats a federal crime.

    And they coulf have faced jail time for it.

    since the statues of limitation on that particular crime has expired the bush admin will getaway with another very very serious crime
