Short diary...I just wanted to alert everyone that the Rush Limbaugh listening crowd who deny that we tortured, are going nuts on the ABC website. ABC did a story refuting former CIA agent, Kiriakou's earlier comments that waterboarding worked like a charm on the detainees. They are also profiling the two psychologists that designed the waterboarding program. The whole story challenges what our torture apologists have been using as an excuse for torture. They are absolutely livid and accusing ABC of being traitors, etc., etc.

Most of us posting at this website are horrified that our country tortured prisoners under our care. Most of us have also written diaries, posted comments, written letters to the editor and made phone calls to politicians demanding accountability for those Bush administration officials and possibly Democratic officials who enabled this to happen. Most of us have also criticized the Obama administration for refusing to initiate a criminal investigation when we all know that one is warranted. And most of us don't understand why more people aren’t demanding accountability. But maybe it's not about what most of us do maybe the key to getting Obama to act requires us to take a critical look at what some of us don't do.

I just read a post by Solly Mack on the Democratic Underground site where I learned for the first time that the USS Bataan was used as one of the Bush administration's prison ships.

The US has admitted that the Bataan and Peleliu were used as prison ships between December 2001 and January 2002.

So not only did the Bush administration have these dastardly prison ships but they specifically allowed the USS Bataan's name to be tarnished for being one of them. Why is the use of the USS Bataan any worse than using another ship for this purpose? Here's why.

Most of us don't really need any more examples to know how far our media has strayed from it's traditional role of informing the public and acting as the public's watchdog because we've already seen far too many examples of that fact. But for me, A Media Tale of Two Generals is about a subject far too important for me to let it go without comment.

Since my Representative, John Yarmuth, changed his view on FISA and voted to support the new FISA bill I've seen several articles in my local newspaper about how Rep. Yarmuth is now bringing home the bacon to Louisville. Is this just a coincidence or was this a quid pro quo for his FISA vote?

For those Obama supporters who are knocking Glenn Greenwald and those of us who share Glenn's view about challenging Obama and other leaders on FISA I think you would do well to remember this quote from Obama, himself:

I’m asking you to believe - not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington...I’m asking you to believe in YOURS...Barack Obama
