'We Do Not Torture' and Other Funny Stories
From fables to false fortunes, Frank Rich views the Bush Administrations and Republicans alike as reciting compelling hyperboles of a government that does not condone torture, on the brink of a GOP victory over an anti-torture bill.

NATIONAL DAY OF COUNTER-RECRUITMENT
Please forward to anyone who might be interested!
* NATIONAL DAY OF COUNTER-RECRUITMENT *
December 6, 2005 Campus Antiwar Network http://www.campusantiwar.net
ENDORSED BY: Pablo Paredes, war resister; David Airhart, Iraq War vet and Kent State student facing expulsion for peaceful counter- recruitment; Tariq Khan, George Mason University student assaulted for peaceful counter-recruitment; Charles Peterson, Holyoke Community College student assaulted for peaceful counter-recruitment; Traprock Peace Center; Anthony Arnove, editor, Iraq Under Siege and co-editor with Howard Zinn, Voices of a People's History of the United States
* Say No to the Solomon Amendment!
Campus Anti-War Network is calling for actions around the country to show the federal government that they cannot intimidate schools for kicking out military recruiters. On December 6, the Supreme Court will hear the FAIR v Rumsfeld case (brought by several universities), which will decide whether schools can ban military recruiters wihout losing federal funding. Currently, the Solomon Amendment allows the government to cut off federal funding from schools that ban military recruiters. This policy forces schools to accept military recruitment, even though the military's anti-gay "don't ask, don't tell" policy violates university anti-discrimination policies.
* Bring the movement for COLLEGE NOT COMBAT to a recruiting station near you!
On Dec 6, when the Supreme Court hears FAIR v Rumsfeld, students will hold protests at military recruiting stations across the country, including in San Francisco, Seattle, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, New York City, and many other cities. In Washington, D.C., a press conference and demonstration will take place outside the Supreme Court.
This action comes amid increasing revelations of the horror of the Iraq occupation. Recent video footage shows that the US used chemical weapons (white phosphorus) in Fallujah, laying bare the lies about "weapons of mass destruction." Occupation is not liberation. On December 6, we refuse to let the military recruit young people to kill and die in a war based on lies.
December 6 is also the one-year anniversary of Navy petty officer Pablo Paredes' refusal to board his ship in protest of the war, which sparked a national campaign that displayed and strengthened the growing refusal of soldiers to fight this war. Recently, the counter-recruitment movement won a victory in San Francisco, where 60 percent of voters approved a proposition to oppose military recruiters in schools and support scholarships to counteract the poverty draft, which targets the poor, and people of color.
Let's mobilize on Dec 6 to counter the military's ability to wage its illegal war and to support the right of universities to oppose military recruiting on their campuses.
Say No to the Solomon Amendment!
COLLEGE NOT COMBAT! TROOPS OUT NOW!
We welcome all organizations to endorse this day of action or to sponsor it with us. If you want to endorse, or you want to organize an action in your area, email recruitersout@yahoo.com and check out our website at http://www.campusantiwar.net

One Women's Army - Torturegate: Transformation of the United States from a nation that did not torture to one that does
(excerpt)
http://www.booktv.org/PublicLives/index.asp?segID=6418&schedID=385
I just watched the author of "One Women's Army", Janis Karpinski, on book TV tell how she was made out to be the fall guy in "command" (she never was) of Abu Ghraib interrogation unit. She was the one star general who was demoted to Colonel while "gitmo" Miller, the guilty party, was promoted from two star general to three, as was his superior (from three to four star) the overall Iraq commander Sanchez. Typical Bush logic. Fire Powell and give WMD "slam dunk" Tenant, "fire Iraq army" Bremer, and "protect the oil ministry only" Franks "Medals of Freedom". Just like demoting Richard Clarke and obstructing all pre 9-11 inquiries was used to get their Pearl Harbor. FBI's Franca was promoted for that.
Excerpt from Mark Danner article:
http://www.berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2004/06/02_torture2.shtml
Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, the overall commander in Iraq, who on October 12 (about the time Red Cross investigators were making their two unannounced inspections) signed a classified memorandum calling for interrogators at Abu Ghraib to work with military police guards to "manipulate an internee's emotions and weaknesses" and to assume control over the "lighting, heating ... food, clothing, and shelter" of those they were questioning. (Including dogs, according to Karpinski on C-SPAN.)
I'm glad retired "Colonel" Karpinski is getting a book out of this, she deserves a multimillion dollar lawsuit, if only this were the private sector. We've got to get congress back so Karpinski can testify at the beginning of the torturegate impeachment of Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld.
Aren't the Geneva Conventions a Senate approved constitutional Article I section 6 "highest law of the land"? If so, our top officials have violated their constitutional oaths.
