Although Harry Reid is said to be Mormon, he remains profoundly agnostic on what is or isn't illegal, immoral, or just plain taboo with respect murder, torture, anal rape, and sodomizing children.
Brown: Well let me ask you, Senator Reid, you’ve seen the evidence come forward. We’ve heard Dick Cheney himself say he waterboarded and he’d waterboard again.... Isn’t that therefore an obvious and admitted crime right there in the face of the American people?
Reid: Something everyone has to weigh is this, we’re a nation of laws and no one can dispute that, but I think what we have to, the hurdle we have to get over is whether we want to go after people like Cheney. That’s a decision that has to be made....
Brown: Is it a decision of whether...Isn’t it our obligation if he’s violated the law ... ?
Reid: There are a lot of decisions that are made that are right that may not be absolutely totally within the framework of law. For example with President Nixon . . . I mean . . . should he have been impeached or did President Ford do the right thing?....
Of course, the torturers routinely exceeded their own narrowly crafted legal definitions of torture (e.., death, organ failure, serious impairment of bodily functions) by TORTURING PEOPLE TO DEATH. So, I'd agree with Senate Majority Leader that a heckuva lot flagrant criminal activity may not have been absolutely and totally within the framework of law.
But even if such activities as murder, torture, anal rape, and sodomizing children are not absolutely and totally within the framework of law, what about the policy decision is "right?"
Dear Senator Reid--How's that lifelong path to progress as a Mormon going?
