[Munchkin Man]

Greetings:

The Munchkin Man is providing a link to an article that comes highly recommended to you by the Munchkin Man himself.

Here is the link below:

http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/015/986rockt.asp?pg=1

The following is a cut-and-pasted excerpt:
_____

"He deserves better. His presidency was far more successful than not. And there's an aspect of his decision-making that merits special recognition: his courage. Time and time again, Bush did what other presidents, even Ronald Reagan, would not have done and for which he was vilified and abused. That--defiantly doing the right thing--is what distinguished his presidency."
_____

You read that correctly.

"Doing the right thing."

President Bush constantly sought to do the right thing, instead of doing what was politically expedient, or acting whichever way the wind was blowing at any given time.

Please read this article thoroughly before you criticize it.

The Munchkin Man would like to add one more achievement that was not mentioned in the article:

The capture of Saddam Hussein.

God Bless You, President Bush!

SALUTE!

President Bush constantly sought to do the right thing, instead of doing what was politically expedient, or acting whichever way the wind was blowing at any given time.

The only problem there is that Bush and his people have no clue what 'the right thing' is/was.

True. But that's the problem, you, me and anybody else would tell them whatever they want to hear. Road dawg's article a while back from a colonel in charge of interrogations after we were caught torturing prisoners was truly enlightening.

I say simply: ROUND EM UP BARACK !!!

Former Gitmo prosecutor rips military trials, calling interrogators' practices 'despicable'
Andy Worthington
Published: Tuesday January 13, 2009

In a declaration submitted to a Washington D.C. District Court Tuesday, Lt. Col. Darrel Vandeveld, a former prosecutor in the Military Commission trial system, delivered perhaps the most blistering attack on the US military's detention program by a former member of the Pentagon's team to date.

Speaking of the man he was once tasked to prosecute, Vandeveld said prisoner Mohamed Jawad's continued detention is "something beyond a travesty," and urged that Jawad be released given a "lack of any credible evidence."

Some of this information was revealed in September 2008, after Vandeveld resigned as a prosecutor, complaining that "potentially exculpatory evidence" had "not been provided" to Jawad's defense team, and that his accidental discovery of information relating to Jawad's abuse helped convert him from a "true believer to someone who felt truly deceived."

Vandeveld's declaration today constitutes the most sustained criticism of the Bush administration's trial system for terror suspects since Col. Morris Davis, the Commission's former Chief Prosecutor, resigned in 2007. Col. Davis said he'd quit because of the politicization of the trial system, attempts to endorse the use of evidence obtained through torture, and the refusal of Pentagon chief counsel William J. Haynes II to accept that any planned trials could end in acquittals.
