"It has never happened in history that a nation that has won a war has been held accountable for atrocities committed in preparing for and waging that war. We intend to make this one different. What took place was the use of technological material to destroy a defenseless country. From 125,000 to 300,000 people were killed." - Ramsey Clarke (on US's War on Iraq)

Democrats Complicity in Torture

Several days ago, a CIA-released document revealed that at least 19 Democrats were routinely briefed about the torture techniques used by the Bush administration and when they would be used since as early as 2002.

Bearing the 'This-Can't-Be True' mindset, liberals immediately responded by digging up a letter that suggested that CIA cannot promise the accuracy of the documents.  The key passage of the letter states:

The memo is a glossary of terms and groups commonly used in DHS (Department of Homeland Security) documents related to domestic terrorism.  Neo-Nazis, Jewish extremism, hate groups, and tax resistance movement are some examples of terms that appear on the list.

A PDF of the memo can be found here.

An article "New Homeland Security memo lists black power, shaved-head Doc Marten wearers as 'extremist threats'" by John Byrne from RawStory.com is a prime example of how this memo has been grossly misinterpreted.

The article presumes the memo is some sort of newly released watch-list exhibiting a list of domestic terrorist threats.  Those who contest which groups were and were not justifiably included on the list, displayed a glaring misunderstanding of the nature of the memo, and the scope of the problem.
