Stole 2 elections corporate media covers up truth

All your killing all your damage ain't through

Electronic computer voting implemented systems rigged

for you Got to tell you how the government lied

US elections are a bogus disguise

They sell our forests and they'll rape the land

Proliferate wars on foreign sands

The species of earth feel the slamming door

We'll lead a movement gonna

win the war Guantanamo torture, illegal surveillance ain't through

You blow a Neo Con smoke screen so people don't see what you do

All your killing all your damage

ain't through

John Conyers jr. in the HOUSE bring justice to you.

Yes we understand the games that are being played by BOTH sides.

The democrats are playing the same game, just a dog and pony show pretending like they are actually doing something.

This is just a charade they aren't going to do a damn thing.

So Yoo is saying he feels no president would need to order a person buried alive, but if he did it would be OK. When can we throw this piece of shit in jail?

I think it should be obvious to anybody who watched that hearing, or listened, that BOTH Addington and Yoo should be thrown at least in jail, if not off a cliff.... It was maybe THE most appalling thing I have ever witnessed.

Dont forget John Ashcroft who was the force behind this garbage and the other one who drafted the PATRIOT ACT and who is now teaching Constitutional law at Georgetown. They are both rewarded by Ashcroft to their current, elevated positions by a lack of understanding of the Constitution. You both are the kind of legal mind we need. Amen.

John (sick puppy) Yoo refuses to answer John Conyers in this very public hearing, but when asked an even more disturbing question many years ago by somebody named Doug Cassel, he gave a clearer answer. This is an actual transcript and audio: Q: “If the president deems that he’s got to torture somebody, including by crushing the testicles of the person’s child, there is no law that can stop him?” Yoo: ”No treaty.” Q: “Also no law by Congress. That is what you wrote in the August 2002 memo.” Yoo: “I think it depends on why the president thinks he needs to do that.” Whore is NOT the worst pejorative. Whatever these people are, IS.

Agent99 As I am sure you can surmise from IP addresses that last response was clearly NOT from me.

John Yoo is a monster. The fact that this psychopath guided US policy for ONE SECOND is our eternal disgrace.

Anyone who watched the hearing has to come away at least as angry with Addington, if not more. Personally, I think the Yoos of this world are harmless without the Addingtons. Now that is a psychopath.

Wow, that reminds me of Ron Paul asking the Iraqi General (whoever was recently in charge) if Bush could order an attack on Iran. After much hemming and hawing and avoiding answering the question, Ron Paul tells him "the answer is No. No, the president cannot order an attack on Iran without Congress declaring an act of war". JFC this is why education and history is so important. People don't know wtf the constitution is, why its important, and how to speak truth to power ---- and these people are top lawyers and generals running this country in many cases. One of the few attorneys who actually understands the constitution and legal implications of messing with it is Russ Feingold. Too bad he's in such a minority in congress.

John Yoo is an arrogant fucking asshole.

Why Conyers even kept talking to him I don't know.

If I was Conyers, I would have had him forcefully removed, right then and there. Fuck all this games shit. People are dying from these fucking games.
