Alternatively, proof that comparissons between Cheney and Darth Vader were valid. Our Vice-President is a piece of shit who secures himself a large place in hell with each passing day. Torture? Un-American is what it is. What has America become? So wrapped up in our views of ourselves as righteous liberators of the world that the outcome justifies the means? Sixty years ago, an Allied POW camp opened its doors and freed its German prisoners during the war because they’d run out of food and couldn’t guarantee the safety of their charges. That was America at its best, refusing to stoop to the level of the Nazis, because we were too fucking good to do it. Or, more simply, “We were the good guys.” And back then, we knew how to act like it.
History is going to look very darkly at the Presidential Administration of George W. Bush.
