Experts have indicated time and again that torturing prisoners almost always yields wrong information, and that there are other more effective methods of interrogation.

But, the duo of Dick Morris and Sean Hannity being what they are — media terrorists, prefer to go straight to the LYNCHING! The same thing [they] did to the Indians, Blacks, Mexicans, Non-Anglo Saxon Immigrants, …..more recently, Iraqi mothers and their children.

Meanwhile, Fox News hosts, contributors, and guests have called for profiling of Muslims by airport security personnel. But, several national security experts have termed such policies ineffective, with Bush administration secretary of homeland security Michael Chertoff stating that “relying on preconceptions or stereotypes is actually kind of misleading and, arguably, dangerous.” [ READ MORE ]

Bill O’Reilly was involved in a “porn” scandal where he was taped sexually harassing a younger subordinate, one in which Bill had to pay millions to make it go away.

Old habits die hard. This sixty year old man always surrounds himself with “blond” “Fox News Contributors,” wearing tight-fitting dresses, and caked all over with thick mascara — “contributing” to his lewd sexual fantasies. At sixty, Osama Bin O’Reilly the “dirty old bloviator” may be on Viagra and/or may be having a listless sex life, but a lot of men “get off” just by looking! ……like a crocodile with no teeth watching helplessly as juicy wildebeest cross the Mara river during their annual migration spectacle.

Notes: The annual Great Wildebeest Migration was named as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in November 2006 by a panel of experts in America.

Little Blue Pills Among the Ways CIA Wins Friends in Afghanistan

Washington Post: The Afghan chieftain looked older than his 60-odd years, and his bearded face bore the creases of a man burdened with duties as tribal patriarch and husband to four younger women. His visitor, a CIA officer, saw an opportunity, and reached into his bag for a small gift.

Four blue pills. Viagra.

“Take one of these. You’ll love it,” the officer said. Compliments of Uncle Sam.

The enticement worked. The officer, who described the encounter, returned four days later to an enthusiastic reception. The grinning chief offered up a bonanza of information about Taliban movements and supply routes — followed by a request for more pills.

For U.S. intelligence officials, this is how some crucial battles in Afghanistan are fought and won. While the CIA has a long history of buying information with cash, the growing Taliban insurgency has prompted the use of novel incentives and creative bargaining to gain support in some of the country’s roughest neighborhoods, according to officials directly involved in such operations. — [MORE]

George W. Bush has been an unmitigated disaster as commander-in-chief, he leaves his successor with a quagmire in Iraq and a steadily worsening situation in Afghanistan. I just hope he doesn’t entangle us with a war with Iran before he leaves office.

Bush made a mess out of our foreign policy playing general, now he’s going to make a mess out of women’s health playing Surgeon General. Bush is lobbying for a proposal that would equate some forms of contraception with abortion:

“Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., blasted a Bush administration proposal Friday that would change the definition of abortion and, she argues, limit women’s access to contraception.

The draft proposal written by the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), which began circulating around Capitol Hill this week, would require hospitals receiving federal funds to hire medical personnel who oppose forms of contraception including birth control pills.

But Democratic critics including Clinton warn that the Bush administration changes would have ‘damaging’ consequences on women’s ability to access birth control.” …Quotation from ABC News/Matthew Jaffe

A medical practitioner has a right to a personal belief that it’s morally wrong to take birth control pills, but he shouldn’t have a right to refuse to dispense a morning-after pill to a woman who has been raped. Medical personnel shouldn’t let their religious beliefs interfere with providing patients with the medication they need.

Leading Democrats have spoken out against Bush’s proposal that would change the definition of abortion, but McCain has been silent on the issue. This is the same John McCain who was rendered silent when a reporter asked why many health insurance companies cover Viagra for men but not birth control for women.

John McCain should be anathema to anyone who cares about issues that impact women, but many angry Hillary supporters plan to sit out the general election or vote for John McCain. These women are so infatuated with Hillary, it smacks of a cult of personality.

If John McCain is elected president we will remain stuck in Iraq for a hundred years, and women’s rights will be set back a hundred years.
