Col. Lawrence Wilkerson Talks to The Young Turks

The more I hear from Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Colin Powell, the more I like him. He seems very down to earth and even though he is a Republican he does believe as we all do that torture is WRONG.

He talked to Cenk Unger a couple of days ago and gave a very in depth interview about BushCo and Cheney. He explains what he thinks and knows happened in the years he was there, what he saw, heard and gives details.

Really juicy stuff. If you haven't heard it, it is a great 15 minutes. Some of the details he gives are that Cheney as we all thought was in truth the Co-President. He tells how he manipulated Bush and used him to get what he wanted.

Watch the video and here is the link to the site and the transcript so you can see what they believe are the relevant parts which needed to be highlighted.

Condi Rice Went to Stanford, And You Won't Believe What She Said

The Young Turks have it for us.. I subscribe to their YouTube channel and get the videos when they come out. This was in my inbox this morning... WOW... is about all I can say..

Why are the media not covering this? They are ignoring this so much. They really don't want to talk about the fact the Bush Mis-Administration tortured. They really don't. Thank goodness some of the students were on the ball and got this on tape.

Here is what Condi Had to say and what Cenk Uygur's analysis of it afterward. It is priceless...



So, again, if the President says it is ok, then it's not illegal. Give. Me. A. Break.

Here we go with the Empirical Presidency of Bush/Cheney. That's what it amounted to. They had a stranglehold on this country and the Congress allowed it to happen.
