Wouldn’t it be nice if Dick (chicken-hawk) Cheney would go back to his undisclosed location, and take Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh with him? All Cheney has to offer is fear itself and he is trying to justify using torture to save his own skin. The very generals that the Bush administration said they listened to have said that not one bit of usable intelligence was gained by using torture. Torture just created more terrorists and puts our troops and country in even more danger.
I don’t give a hoot for those they tortured and would like to see them hang for what they did to our country. What the Bush-Cheney gang did was illegal. Remember the “rule of law” we heard from the Republicans when they impeached Clinton? This is a nation of laws, and nobody is above the law.
Everything Cheney has ever said about Iraq was a lie, and now we are supposed to believe him. This is the same administration that ignored all the warnings about Osama bin Laden before 9/11, and now claims that they “kept us safe for almost eight years.” Cheney said after 9/11 that “it is not a matter of if but when they hit us again.” Now Cheney says we need to keep torture and Gitmo in effect to protect ourselves. He didn’t mention that the Bush administration stopped using “enhanced interrogation” after 2004, so using his logic, they put us in peril. Just go away, Dick.

Letter: Lutz not representing the working class
I feel bad that Rep. Lutz (R) is sad, because Democrats at the Statehouse are representing the working class people of Indiana. While he is representing big business.

Letter: Consumer-driven economy will pay off debt
To save America some money — by acclimation of course — let’s not have a presidential election in 2012. We already have a good president who will do his best to kill all Republican bills (DOA) and, consequently, create more good-paying jobs in the $30 per hour range.

Letter: Gingrich cashes in on political amnesia
Rasmussen says that Romney has flattened nationally. Why?
Two reasons seem to tell the tale. Gingrich has shown that he will fight, and Romney is a Mormon, believed to be a “cult” by a majority of evangelicals. -

As a taxpayer I want to know that my taxes are being spent wisely. Hiring Greg Winkler at a salary of $126,000 is not wise spending.

Letter: Bill of Rights being nullified by new law
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve. I doubt many Americans noticed its implications because they do not yet comprehend the big picture. This law, coupled with the Patriot Act, is paving the way for America’s direction toward tyranny.
