Surprise, Surprise...Not!

I think the US needs one big "do-over" for the incredibly ham handed, pratfall beginning it made to the 21st century.  A report from a diverse and non-politically influenced commission has been issued that basically says what anyone with any sense of what was really going on at that time knew. 

The Bush administration discussed, endorsed, and practiced every low form of torture and other mutilations of due process that it could possibly come up with...all while talking nobly out of the other sides of their slimy mouths about "exporting democracy", "making the world safe for democracy" and "if you aren't for us, you are against us (or we'll torture you until you can't think straight)".
