Your "apply a small amount of a certain shiny metal" solution has more and more merit with each passing day.

I amend this; I assume you are livid over the 'Military Commissions Act of 2006', otherwise known as the 'detainee legislation' or 'torture bill'.

Now, the question is, what should be done about it?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Every incumbent who voted for this legislation, every bureaucrat and politician who advocated or allowed it, and every military man who endorsed it, should be removed from office, bodily and by use of force if necessary, and subjected to the treatment they have thus authorized, during which time, it will be repealed, and all such persons mentioned above will be barred from public office unto the end of their days.

That's what I fucking well propose we do about it.

I have been waiting for that to be said for quite a while.
