How did this guy get the appointment without reasonable questioning? It is baffling.

It is as if our government was mesmerized - lulled into a state of paralysis by fear, anger, false nationalistic unity, and the notion that our leaders had to support an attack on Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction, which came from bogus intelligence. What had our nation actually become?

The country stood by silently as we invaded a sovereign nation to protect ourselves from a potential nuclear attack. ABSURD!

The silence in the halls of the senate when Orin Hatch praised Bybee and condemned the few voices of those that wanted the process of his confirmation to be slowed down to investigate his background more thoroughly investigated clearly depicted the repression and the opportunistic manipulation of a time when to challenge the government was considered "unpatriotic".

Was it patriotism? We now know it was nothing to do with the true concern for the welfare of the American people. It was a secret take over of the government, the legislature, and the courts.

This man needs to stand before a tribunal once and for all. Washington must identify these lose guns and remove them from office without pardoning crimes against humanity.
