The B**h Doctrine: Waterboarding PBS

PBS Cracked Under Torture!

READERS PLEASE NOTE: Because it is impolite to spell out four-letter expletives, I have decided to err on the side of propriety and not to shock you with the full speeling of our President's last name. It has been used as a curse word for so long that it really should be termed a "vulgarism" (like "damn") but it is still on the list of words deemed mortal sins by the Legion of Utterly Boring Decency. Republicans haven't said it in quite some time! Sorry. I rather enjoyed using it sometimes. You know, like "get B**hed!" and "go B**h yourself!" But some people (I don't really know who) might be offended. So, if you like writers with Touretts Syndrome, you'll just have to read Ann Coulter(geist's) column.

B**h and "The Muzzle":

The muzzle was on for a long time and it was used to hold PBS tight to the board. But instead of flowing water, it was the possibility of no federal funds that PBS was tortured with. After all, the B**h administration threatened to cut off funding after PBS aired B**h's War on Frontline.

On Thursday evening WNET in New York will air an important new documentary by Emmy and Dupont Award winning producer Sherry Jones entitled “Torturing Democracy.” It appears on WNET and several other affiliates independently because PBS would not run the show. […]

According to producer Sherry Jones, PBS told her that “no time slot could be found for the documentary before January 21, 2009″ — the day after George W. B**h and Dick Cheney leave office.

How coincidental! No kidding. It makes you wonder what else we're going to find out after January 21 (note to self, must prepare for Armeggedon). Today, October 15, Bill Moyers' JOURNAL will end with these statements:

BILL MOYERS:The second film — "Torturing Democracy" — recounts how the B**h White House and the Pentagon decided to make coercive detention and abusive interrogation the official U.S. policy on the war on terror.

MALCOLM NANCE: We have re-created our enemy's methodologies in Guantanamo. It will hurt us for decades to come. Decades. Our people will all be subjected to these tactics, because we have authorized them for the world now. How it got to Guantanamo is a crime and somebody needs to figure out who did it, how they did it, who authorized them to do it, and shut it down. Because our servicemen will suffer for years.

BILL MOYERS:You'll see and hear some things hard to bear but you'll also meet some government insiders who refused to go along, who stood up and said "this is wrong." Check your local listings to see when "Torturing Democracy" and "P.O.V.'s Soldiers of Conscience" will be broadcast where you live.

Please watch these documentaries, unless you worry about being labeled a "traitor" or, worse yet, "someone who pals around with terrorists."

The preview below doesn't even begin to describe the theme of "Torturing Democracy." Of course, because it was made for a "leftist" show like Frontline, - no self-respecting "Joe Sixpack" will watch it anyway!
