Bush Cheney Hitler are today’s Captain Assclown Trifecta

You might think Bush/Cheney came up with the clever concept of (wink wink nudge nudge) “Enhanced Interrogation Techniques”, but you’d be wrong. The term was originally created by the Gestapo.  In German it’s called “Verschärfte Verneh-mung”.

Those Germans are really innovative. They’re really on the cutting edge of technology regarding cars, beer, and torture… Oops, I mean “Verschärfte Verneh-mung” (ie, Enhanced Interrogation Techniques, I keep screwing up the Ministry Of Truth lingo, sorry)

Yep, you can learn a lot from Nazis… You just shouldn’t. (Subtle difference)

During the Cold War, there was legitimate massive threat to the U.S., but our leaders at the time  said, “There is nothing to fear but fear itself”. Now we’ve got a few hundred dickheads living in caves threatening to wreak minor havoc on America, and our own government is acting like we’re fighting the biggest threat America has ever faced. Our own elected leaders are terrorizing us themselves with the threat of terror. What does that make them?

Well here, it makes them Captain Assclowns.

Here’s a very convincing explanation of why America’s policy of torture post-9/11 actually caused us to believe Iraq was a threat, due to false coercions gained from Iraqi detainees… In other words, not only is torture immoral and illegal, it is also provides misleading, false information that can likely do more harm than good (for instance, fool is into a trillion-dollar mistaken war).
