Or at least shut down the C.I.A. and rebuild the Justice Department from scratch! This morning, the New York Times broke the news, in a 5-or-6* page article, that the Bush administration has had internal secret documents explicitly authorizing the use of the harshest torture techniques, in blatant disregard for piles of nation and international laws, and against their own public claims. Last July, when it was leaked that the CIA had secret jails and used torture techniques, and Bush ordered that everyone be moved to Guantanamo and clean up, it was all of one month before he secretly reversed the decision.

I'm sure most of us aren't surprised by all of this, but this is the sort of damning evidence that we were waiting for. That's it-- Bush can pack his bags. You don't go around authorizing the use of torture when we tell you not to! The game is up.

* The article was 6 pages when I started reading it, then they dropped a page out from under me. And the article is written by a James Risen (*whee!*).

That would be fantastic! Except it might give Dominatrices a bad name.

It frustrates me too how nothing every happens, and I think that's exactly how the powers-that-be want it to be. But I have to believe that ultimately, the power is in our hands, and that eventually people are going to realize that. And the sooner the better.
