Here's an hour-long NPR report about the U.S.'s treatment of prisoners at Guantánamo Bay, including both an overview of how the justice system has been shorted and firsthand testimony about abuse of demonstrably innocent detainees.  But it's okay, because they're foreigners!  I can't believe we're supposed to be the good guys.  Surely we can fight a war on terror and simultaneously uphold the principles that make us different from the terrorists.

Probably not.  If we upheld the principles that make us different from terrorists...there'd be too few terrorists to make it a war...

This isn't an article, exactly, but it goes pretty well here.

This is an interview Bill Moyers from PBS does with Jon Stewart. It's a video, but you can also read the full transcript. A lot of it centers around Stewart's ripping McCain a new asshole on TDS this week. While I haven't watched this video, I saw the episode and read the interview, and I know there are a lot of TDS/TCR fans on these here forums that might like this. Without fangirling too hard, I really admire Stewart. He's intelligent, and despite running a comedy show, has had a lot to say about the state of politics and the media in the US. Some people might remember him handing out Fuck You sandwiches on CNN's Crossfire, in an interview that got people fired. He got McCain on his show this week and asked (ON A COMEDY SHOW) harder questions than you see on most of the news network programs. Stewart swears and repeatedly reminds people it's a comedy show and shouldn't be where you get your news. That's true, but as someone that does keep track of the legitimate news sources, I must admit his comedy show is still more intelligent than 90% of the real news, and he's thrown some major curveballs in interviews when others are too busy sucking political dick to do the same.

In similar news, if anyone saw Colbert's speech at the White House Corespondent's Dinner last year, they won't be surprised that this year, they got some retarded ancient comedian doing fucking impressions of old presidents.

Here's another "fun" article. Girl gets stoned to death for falling in love: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/f … ge_id=1879

I bet the people who did that feel sooo proud of themselves.

Its a bit like Romeo and Juliet except for the whole 'lets go and beat Juilet to death because our religion demands that women need to know their place no matter what.' outlook on life.

Religious Hatred strikes again

So how much longer until the big enlightenment where people realise this sort of petty, controlling hatred is pointless?
It's hard not to hate religions sometimes.

I'm sorry to say it, but the enlightenment is over.  It ended around thirty years ago.  I don't know when or where it might happen again, but I think it'll be a while...

That's fucking ridiculous. I like to think though that any reasonable person would smell bullshit on that. We buy ridiculous standardized tests as measures of intelligence far more readily.

I'm lucky they even mentioned the sample size.

I'd say I'm surprised they did given how thoroughly it discredits the study, but that is in and of itself proof of how totally fucked up our finger lengths are in this country.

this may be to much ridiculous for my own taste...

I like that theory much better, Tamago.  By that reckoning, I'm a freaking genius!

Do not worry... it was expected. Not that Condi and Moratinos were going to become best friends Nor Rice was going to conceal her opinion on Spanish politics...

What I don't understand... I had an exam today and so I didn't read the newspaper nor watch TV... but I do have watched the TV news at 9.00 PM, and their intention was to pretend she had been all kindness... why? Instead, the oposition media is saying we have upset the US

Shit, Something Awful was at Fanime?

How come I missed him? My life goal is to end up on Something Awful. As somebody being made fun of.

That's sooo ridiculous... and they asked for $7.5 million



Some intelligence on an old topic.
Thanks God, there are still some open-minded Churches
(never compare with the ones who sing God hates the world...)

Gay bomb.  I can scarcely believe it, but this is the US military we're talking about.  In the Reagan Age, large chunks of federal spending started disappearing down the black whole of defense contracts.  Most of these contracts never see the light of day, even though they account for the majority of defense spending.  This is why it's so important to have oversight, to keep us from having 7.5 million stolen from us to pay for that moronic bullshit.
