1. Since 9/11 was an inside job, OF COURSE Bush knew they were innocent:
“George W. Bush ‘knew Guantánamo prisoners were innocent’
George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld covered up that hundreds of innocent men were sent to the Guantánamo Bay prison camp because they feared that releasing them would harm the push for war in Iraq and the broader War on Terror, according to a new document obtained by The Times.
…
It’s not as if we didn’t know these men were innocent, but to see it affirmed by an insider is somewhat surreal.
This isn’t just evil. This is James Bond super villain evil: a form of malevolence so vile it becomes difficult to wrap your head around, like infinity, or nothingness. I think I’m starting to understand why David Icke thinks these people are Reptilian shapeshifting aliens from another planet. It’s painful to think I belong to the same species as Dick Cheney and George Bush. The only people worse than these “elites” are the countless men and women of conscience who fail to speak out against these atrocities. What did Dante say?
The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of great moral crisis maintain their neutrality.”

3. No, it’s actually worse:
“Does censorship in Israel resemble that in Iran? “

4. No kidding:
“Is Momentum Growing for Debt Repudiation?
There is an established legal principle that people should not have to repay their government’s debt to the extent that it is incurred to launch aggressive wars or to oppress the people.
…
the majority of the mortgages originated in the United States after 1996 were fraudulently induced.
The way to deal with criminals is to treat our contracts with them in a manner reciprocal to how they have treated their contracts with us.
Will a growing movement to abrogate contracts with institutions who have broken the law be disruptive? Yes. Will that require painful adjustments? Yes. That is the price we pay to deal with the challenges we face. This includes the fact that the banks have sold criminally originated debts to our pension funds and retirement accounts as well as to allies and institutions around the world.
…
The most cynical (but not necessarily inaccurate) view of debt I’ve seen is that banks loan out imaginary money they don’t really have, which was “collateralized” by capital they did not really have, based upon central bank printing presses which create money out of thin air which they don’t really have. But then when debtors have trouble repaying onerous loans, the bankers seize real assets. See this and this.
In other words, according to the most cynical view, the entire debt-money system is a scam … and should be repudiated.”

5. “Justice Stevens’ retirement and Elena Kagan
When President Obama chose Sonia Sotomayor to replace David Souter, that had very little effect on the ideological balance of the Court, because Sotomayor was highly likely to vote the way Souter did in most cases. By stark contrast, replacing Stevens with Kagan (or, far less likely, with Sunstein) would shift the Court substantially to the Right on a litany of key issues (at least as much as the shift accomplished by George Bush’s selection of the right-wing ideologue Sam Alito to replace the more moderate Sandra Day O’Connor). Just click on the links in the last paragraph here, detailing some of Kagan’s “centrist” (i.e., highly conservative) positions on executive power, civil liberties and Terrorism for a sense of how far to the Right she would be as compared to Stevens.”
