The presidency is now a criminal conspiracy (Olbermann)
msn.com ^ | Nov. 5, 2007 | Keith Olbermann

Posted on 11/05/2007 10:53:11 PM PST by Tailgunner Joe

Ultimately, Mr. Bush, the real question isn't who approved the waterboarding of this fiend Khalid Sheik Mohammed and two others.

It is: Why were they waterboarded?

Study after study for generation after generation has confirmed that torture gets people to talk, torture gets people to plead, torture gets people to break, but torture does not get them to tell the truth.

Of course, Mr. Bush, this isn't a problem if you don't care if the terrorist plots they tell you about are the truth or just something to stop the tormentors from drowning them.

If, say, a president simply needed a constant supply of terrorist threats to keep a country scared.

If, say, he needed phony plots to play hero during, and to boast about interrupting, and to use to distract people from the threat he didn't interrupt.

If, say, he realized that even terrorized people still need good ghost stories before they will let a president pillage the Constitution,

Well, Mr. Bush, who better to dream them up for you than an actual terrorist?

He'll tell you everything he ever fantasized doing in his most horrific of daydreams, his equivalent of the day you "flew" onto the deck of the Lincoln to explain you'd won in Iraq.

Now if that's what this is all about, you tortured not because you're so stupid you think torture produces confession but you tortured because you're smart enough to know it produces really authentic-sounding fiction — well, then, you're going to need all the lawyers you can find … because that crime wouldn't just mean impeachment, would it?

That crime would mean George W. Bush is going to prison.

Keith Olbermann has a low rated cable show no one watches. I could care less about his moonbat rants.

Could someone please tell me how this nitwit is qualified to editorialize in anything and how he got a show? What is his background? Is he a former intelligence agent? Military officer? Diplomat?

Olberman’s rants are a good for conservatives. He debases himself and his democrat allies. His distortions, conspiracies and dementia will burn out, just like Cindy Sheehan.

LOL!!
He’s funny, albeit unintentially. He’s just another preening MSM gasbag.

Its fascinating Olbermann thinks our President is guilty of a criminal conspiracy but apparently has no opinion about the criminal conspiracy that murdered 3,000 Americans less than six years ago - Al Qaeda.

Wow, this is INCREDIBLY nutjob — even for Keith.

The hilarity which ensued from the entire nation as a result of that stupid “candlelight halftime show” last night must have energized him.

Can someone help me here. The liberals whine about torture, even if it’s a face wash (and even any punishment for crimes committed because they believe all criminals and terrorists are freedom fighters and heroes fighting evil Jewy and whitey) but did Clinton or even Carter ever ban torture when they were presidents or did they allow it, either tacitly with a “wink wink” and a smirk or more openly.

I would rather be water-boarded than be forced to listen to this crackpot. Now THAT would be torture!

LOL. This Olberdork creature is a drooling, ranting nonentity who is good for an occasional laugh.

Well there's jumping the shark but this is way beyond that. This will become known as "Going Olbermann".

I believe the MSM has become a criminal conspracy. We seem to have no legal recourse either.
