I just wish he wouldn’t make it so hard. I have never met Mr. Westlake, and he seems by all accounts to be a very nice person. I also fully respect the campaign he has run(although I dont understand how he can do it), but getting out and meeting people and being willing to [...]

A quick browse of the Huffington Post and my eye caught this story. After a nice belly laugh, I started looking elsewhere on the page and came across these stories also: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/22/rod-blagojevich-future-in-politics-fox-news_n_690372.html It was symbolic when the six Republican candidates for U.S. Senate stood up together side-by-side during a debate Wednesday.

Joshua Tabor, a U.S. soldier at the Lewis-McChord base in Tacoma, Washington has been arrested and charged with assault after he admitted to police to having waterboarded his four year-old daughter because she was unable to recite the alphabet.

In an appearance on Radio Free Europe on Sunday, General David Petraeus made it clear he supports President Barack Obama’s decisions to close down the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and to put an end to the use of harsh interrogation techniques: “I think, on balance, that those moves help [us],” said the chief [...] Posted by Zach on May 23, 2009, at 8:43 am

It’s funny how one’s opinion changes once they’ve experienced waterboarding. H/T to James [...] Posted by Zach on May 13, 2009, at 7:40 pm
For weeks, former Vice President Dick Cheney has been making the rounds on television to defend the Bush administration’s torture program, and during his media blitz, Cheney has been citing two CIA memos as proof that torture works as a method of obtaining intelligence. However, during a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing today, [...] Posted by Zach on May 13, 2009, at 12:44 am
I’ve spent a little time here on Blogging Blue talking about waterboarding, and I’ve made it clear I believe waterboarding is torture. I’ve read the argument that waterboarding can’t be torture since it’s used to train American military forces in SERE training, and I’ve also read the argument that waterboarding isn’t torture because it’s [...] Posted by Zach on April 29, 2009, at 10:34 pm
From the first post at Heartland Hollar comes a novel fundraising idea for Scott Walker’s 2010 gubernatorial campaign, which kicked off this week: s you may know, Scott Walker is “officially” believing in himself as governor again (or did he ever stop) and he is going to need a lot of charity from people [...] Posted by Zach on April 29, 2009, at 6:46 am
