A short diary agreed, but I wanted to throw it up here none the less...
And the Miami Mafia begot stopping the vote count and stopping the vote count begot a fraudulent election and begetting a fraudulent election made people think they could get away with anything they wanted and that begot ignoring terrorist threats to focus on getting Iraq and it's oil and that begot 9/11 and 9/11 begot as good a reason as any to go into Iraq and get it's oil and that begot the ill-conceived invasion of Iraq and when the deluded realized that WMD's weren't in Iraq to cover for the invasion for oil then that begot Chinese communist torture tactics to get FALSE information to use as propaganda (the Chinese never want the truth from torture it's about using the confessions, truth or false, for propaganda) and that begot continuing the mistake which was the Iraq war and that begot huge deficit spending to keep funding the war and that begot artificially low interest rates and that begot non-existent lending standards and that begot a huge, unsustainable, corrupt, pervasively fraudulent housing bubble and that begot a gigantic worldwide credit crisis and that begot the Great Recession and that begot the massive dislocation of millions of people throughout the world, unemployment, famine and despair and that begot a new beginning, now it's up to us...
Torture was right in the middle of the mess, right in the heart of it, an evil on top of the evil that perpetuated more evil and it most certainly wasn't the act of a few bad apples...we ignore investigating at our peril.
