“motives and sincerity of United States Officials”…now thats rich. this assumes that the individuals who assume their roles as Federal agents retain and utilize their own sense of ethics and morality. Well, i hate to break this to all the pollyannas who assert government is a stopgap, it suspends ethical actions and morality..like corporations do, in favor of that hypothetical construct known as the Corporation or Government. they operate on myth and best intentions gone ferklempt.

Of course the torturers need sovereign immunity, you Big Silly Author. Otherwise, how can you expect them to do their jobs??? Sheeeesh….

Though my personal favorite is that I *still* bump into people who’ll wonder about how stupid the Germans could have been to let the Nazis do what THEY were doing….

There is nothing worse than scrutinizing the motives and sincerity of government officials. Apparently scrutiny comes in two different flavors - fair and unfair with unfair being defined as anything greater than no scrutiny at all.

Alpowolf, I just don’t understand how the Statists get any oxygen to the brain, at least as far as where their heads seem to be.

The argument in that Jus. Dept. brief captures the soul of what govt. has become….

Christ on a crutch, the U.S. government argues–and the USSC buys into it–that belief in “the motives and sincerity of the United States officials” is somehow vital to the nation’s security? If we question said motives and sincerity, it will cause the deflector screens to drop?

To think, I used to use the “clap harder” metaphor as sarcasm against the statists. Every day they place themselves further out of the reach of sarcasm!

This goes beyond “shoot the messenger.” There simply won’t be any messengers permitted. The Supremes should wear bags over their heads when appearing in public.
