Torturing Morality
The former Vice President has also said that the interrogation program was run by “highly trained professionals who understand their obligations under the law.” On the contrary, according to the Associated Press, the Agency had never done interrogations of this nature. Its first interrogators were put to work after two weeks of training. As previously reported, the torture program ”experts” were two psychologists from undistinguished schools with doctorates, respectively, in family counseling, and the use of dieting and exercise for controlling hypertension.
The CIA itself ordered the Inspector General’s report, and deserves credit for that; there were many officers who were disturbed by what the Agency was doing, and who anticipated what now could happen to discredit not only the Agency but the officials involved in what was done.

The 'Second American Revolution' Has Begun
By Gerald Celente 8-12-9
Now, with Congress in recess and elected representatives less than a stone's throw away, the public is exploding. The devil is not in the details of the heath care reform, the devil is the government mandating health care. Regardless of how the plan is pitched or what is being promised, to the public the legislation is yet another instance of big government taking another piece out of their lives and making them pay for it; again telling them what they can or cannot do.

Though in its early stages, the "Second American Revolution" is underway. Yet, what we forecast will become the most profound political trend of the century ­ the trend that will change the world ­ is still invisible to the same experts, authorities and pundits who didn't see the financial crisis coming until the bottom fell out of the economy.

Trend Forecast: Conditions will continue to deteriorate. The global economy is terminally ill. The recession is in a brief remission, not the early stages of recovery. Cheap money, easy credit and unrestrained borrowing brought on an economic crisis that cannot be cured by monetary and fiscal policies that promote more cheap money, easy credit and unrestrained borrowing.
