Scalia Thinks Torture is Constitutional

There are so many indignations that pass the scrutiny of Americans daily: atrocities in Darfur, the acidification and demise of oceans and the creationist Huckabee's bid for the most important job in the world-- that one more should not surprise me, but this one, from this man, stands out among the others.

Scalia says courts shouldn't prohibit torture: Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia rejected the notion that US courts have any control over the actions of American troops at Guantanamo Bay, argued that torture of terror detainees is not banned under the US Constitution and insisted that the high court has no obligation to act as a moral beacon for other nations."

Just remember when you consider petulantly that you will not vote this November, that somewhere a Republican who will dreams of his candidate appointing Scalia clones to the remaining two SCOTU seats.

American Terrorism X...

1970 Kent State Massacre Intentional Act of Terrorism:

"The 1970 killings by National Guardsmen of four students during a peaceful anti-war demonstration at Kent State University have now been shown to be cold-blooded, premeditated official murder. But the definitive proof of this monumental historic reality is not, apparently, worthy of significant analysis or comment in today's mainstream media.

After 37 years of official denial and cover-up, tape-recorded evidence, that has existed for decades and has been in the possession of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), has finally been made public.

It proves what "conspiracy theorists" have argued since 1970---that there was a direct military order leading to the unprovoked assassination of unarmed students. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents show collusion between Ohio Governor James A. Rhodes and the FBI that aimed to terrorize anti-war demonstrators and their protests that were raging throughout the nation. "
