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:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
Jim Hightower, National Radio Commentator, Writer, Public Speaker, and author of the bestselling Thieves in High Places
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
Peter Coyote, Actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
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."
