War On Reality Part 87 ; Bush Inner Circle Approved Torture

The Associated Press is reporting that an inner circle of US government officials, led from Dick Cheney pushed for torture to be used and asked the Justice Department to approve it.

What is very revealing is that efforts were made to keep all this and even discussion of the subject away from President Bush, allowing him to deny any torture was taking place.

Tell The Truthiness ; We are now in a dangerous era, when a government is more dangerous to it's people than the enemy it claims to protect us from.

War On Reality Part 80 ; CIA Takes Out A Trash Bombshell

A snugly dropped bombshell into the public domain on this weekend, just before Christmas, the CIA has taken out the trash.

Back when the 9/11 commission were requesting information to compile their very watery report in 2003, repeated requests were made to the CIA on interrogation of al-Qaeda suspects.

This footage is the same footage that was later revealed to exist, but was then reported to have been erased. So for about the eight-hundredth time in the last four years, public confidence in the CIA is shattered and the flawed commission report has another swiss cheese-like hole shot through it's authority which is big enough to fly a plane through.

Tell The Truthiness ; Once again, the real news is 'dumped' at a time of year when it will get the least coverage and analysis by the papers and networks. Take out the trash, sounds like something out of The West Wing, oh, it is, click here.
