Gen Taguba vs. Obama - who's lying?

By kgb999 on Thu, 05/28/2009 - 12:30pm |
An interesting dynamic is emerging in the torture photo debate that deserves a mention.  Last week when Obama decided to abandon his pledges of accountability and transparency in favor of state secrets and concessions democrats were unwilling to make with...

A nation fights war. What a nation wins is peace. Americans should not lose sight of what we seek to win as we determine how to conduct the fight....

Yet another thought on the Iraqi photo decision.

By kgb999 on Sat, 05/16/2009 - 5:15am |
There are many who applaud Obama for his decision to block the release of Iraqi abuse photographs. I am not one. I know people have loved ones in the line of fire, I can't judge any opinion, partly because I...

APA Psychologist's torture debate emails leaked.

By kgb999 on Fri, 05/08/2009 - 10:05pm |
ProPublica/Salon published a really good article on the role of psychologists in crafting the Bush administration torture policy.  This article is well worth the read and provides tons of information on many of the players and issues popping up in...

Can a psychologist be "disbarred"???

By kgb999 on Wed, 04/22/2009 - 2:22am |
So I was browsing the newly released "Inquiry Into The Treatment Of Detainees In US Custody" and I came across this paragraph in the executive summary:On April 16, 2002, Dr. Bruce Jessen, the senior SERE psychologist at JPRA, circulated a...

Harry Reid Smackdown - who got slapped?

By kgb999 on Wed, 04/01/2009 - 1:30pm |
I think the emerging belief that Harry Reid delivered a "smackdown" to liberal pressure groups is totally off base.  Yeah, I think a smackdown was delivered. But some people have totally misidentified the smackee.Sure, a statement like "this isn't helping"...

Andrew Cuomo: What a difference a political opportunity makes (update).

By kgb999 on Fri, 03/27/2009 - 6:30pm |
Walk with me if you will down memory lane.  Back to a time before everyone had achieved selective amnesia that allowed them to blame everyone's problems on a small group of people working to fix them.The date is October 16,...

The game's afoot - but what's the game?

By kgb999 on Wed, 03/18/2009 - 4:05pm |
The thing that gets me about these AIG "bonuses" is that they have been known since well before AIG got the initial $85 bn.  Nobody hid them.  Congress, the press, the Fed, bloggers, everyone knew about it.I understand why the...
