OKay, in regards to the CIA memos about torture, whom do you feel should be held responsible? The agents who did the torture, their bosses, the lawyers who drew up those memos, or higher up the 'food-chain?'
On a lighter note, I was going to as about Hieros, but somebody already beat me to it.
:D Ahh, another WHR reader. I really had no idea people were so anxious about HG progressing further. I realize though, looking back on TBT that I really left a lot of things unanswered, and I'm regaining my motivation to get back to writing HG and finishing the story I'd started. ^^ Thanks for still sticking around and having faith this entire time!
About the waterboarding...man, after hearing that Condi Rice actually gave the CIA the okay for that, I'm thinking we should just hold her responsible. I mean, seriously. I know even worse shit than that goes on in other countries, but we are supposed to uphold the regulations of the Geneva Convention, and we -- as this ever-touted "land of the free" -- have to be an example to the rest of the world. Degenerating into torturous and barbarous behavior just because "other countries do it" is not an excuse that we can live with anymore. We have to be better than that.
Someone should hold the Bush Administration accountable for all of the fuck-ups they did in the last 8 years. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening.
