Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley believes that not only did Vice President Dick Cheney "unambiguously" confess to a war crime during an ABC interview on Monday, but the US' future as a nation may depend on taking action.

Asked by MSNBC's Keith Olbermann whether Cheney had just confessed to a war crime on national television, Turley at first replied wryly, "It's an interesting question, isn't it? ... If someone commits a crime and everyone's around to see it and does nothing, is it still a crime?"

"It most certainly is a crime to participate, to create, to in many ways monitor a torture program," he added. "What [Cheney] is describing is most certainly and unambiguously a war crime."

During Monday's interview, Cheney was asked, "Did you authorize the tactics that were used against Khalid Sheikh Mohamed?" and replied, "I was aware of the program, certainly, and involved in helping get the process cleared."

Despite the facts, the vice-president still insists that Saddam Hussein could have produced weapons of mass destruction

In yet another attempt at revisionist history by the outgoing Bush administration, vice-president Dick Cheney, in an exclusive interview with ABC News, took exception to former presidential adviser Karl Rove's contention that the US would not have gone to war if available intelligence before the invasion had shown Iraq not to possess weapons of mass destruction. Cheney noted that the only thing the US got wrong on Iraq was that there were no stockpiles of WMD at the time of the 2003 invasion. "What they found was that Saddam Hussein still had the capability to produce weapons of mass destruction. He had the technology, he had the people, he had the basic feed stock."

Something I think we should support. No, I did not remember that Archie mentioned "skyjackers." Just that he got "equal time." It's just a coincidence. - Jon

Congresswoman Anna Eshoo (pictured), D-Palo Alto, said Monday she will work to restore the Fairness Doctrine and have it apply to cable and satellite programming as well as radio and TV.

“I’ll work on bringing it back. I still believe in it,” Eshoo told the Daily Post in Palo Alto.

When people use the phrase "conspiracy theory" this is where I take the conversation...

Regarding the indiscriminate use of the phrase conspiracy theory ...

There are three conspiracy theories regards 9/11.

1) The government’s conspiracy theory was put forth in the hours and days after the attacks. This is the theory that 19 Arab men led by Osama Bin Laden from a remote location conspired together to hijack planes using box cutters, flew 2 planes into 3 buildings thereby knocking down three, managed to hit the Pentagon with more that 1 hour of lead time, etc.

2) The Independent researchers conspiracy theory. This is the theory resulting from the collective work of sincere, independent researchers, who have proved the government’s conspiracy theory false and in violation of the laws of physics and common sense. This leads you to the study of false flag attacks, etc.

3) The disinformation conspiracy theories. These are the theories put forth by agents of disinformation who are paid to put forth theories that are false and ridiculous. This is done in order to confuse people and to provide straw men that can then be highlighted and attacked.
