Thom's blog - Friday November 12th 2010

You need to know this - Ever since George W. Bush admitted to authorizing the use of waterboarding – or torture - in his new book, “Decision Points” – there has been growing pressure on the Obama Administration to launch an investigation. Both Amnesty International and the ACLU have called for criminal prosecution of the former President. And now Congressman Jerry Nadler from New York is joining the cause claiming that, “a failure to order a criminal investigation would be a serious dereliction of duty.” Republicans also agree. GOP Congressman Jason Chaffetz from Utah said he would, “have no hesitation” in investigating the former President. So – Attorney General Holder – what are you waiting for?

But waterboarding isn't torture, every republican knows that. And to prove it, perhaps every republican should be waterboarded. Then renditioned to Syria.

From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
