If she was a tyrant who tortured prisoners, she should be the poster-girl of the hell-fire and brimstone set. -- Jay Beattie. You should ask a member of the lunatic right to explain that to you. Don't forget to report here so we can all have a giggle. If you doubt that Reno tortured prisoners, I've already given you a vivid, uncontested example in this thread. If you think you know better, disprove it. Where one finds one example of such brutality, there are usually many more examples to be discovered by any competent investigator. It's not my problem if your media has betrayed its obligation to truth, and to you. Well, your media is betraying you, too: http://blogs.brown.edu/pols-1821t-20...Walk_Myths.pdf And why are we debating the past -- and particularly a past that was well-known when Janet Reno was unanimously confirmed by the Senate? Was the FBI not doing its job? The Senate Judiciary Committee not doing its job? The Office of Government Ethics? The staff of every senator of both parties? Even the IRS is part of the vetting process. She was vetted more thoroughly than El Presidente Trump. Why does every internet ****** think they know more than two branches of the federal government? The demonic preschool moral panic of the 80s and 90s was not one of our brighter episodes, with all of the craziness of the Salem witch trials and much less excuse. I'm not sure whose job it was to prevent the use of public money to prosecute nursery school operators for sodomizing kiddies with butcher knives on the moon, absent any physical evidence whatsoever, but a voice of reason from somewhere in government would have been nice. What actually happened is that a number of those fine, upstanding, law school graduates siezed on it as an opportunity for advancement. When I first moved to Massachusetts I was amazed to discover that Scott Harshbarger, the DA who prosecuted the ridiculous Fells Acres case, was running for governor. Fortunately he was defeated, but narrowly. More recently Martha Coakley tried to parlay her experience in witch hunting into a run for governor. She cut her legal teeth on the Fells Acres case and continued to work, as AG, to keep Gerald Amirault, a man convicted in it, behind bars long after it should have become obvious what lunacy it was. Happily, she lost as well. Dorothy Rabinowitz blew the crazy prosecution cult wide open. But not for her it would have never ended. http://www.famous-trials.com/mcmartin/940-daycareabuse Justice was never served; innocents were abused down to death and until today as the wrongs resisted righting. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 There's a National Registry of Exonerations at the U of Michigan Law School that makes frightening reading. You can get a sampling by clicking anywhere on this interactive guide: https://www.law.umich.edu/special/ex...tates-Map.aspx and find your way from there to deeper discussions. Andre Jute Not a lawyer, thank the Lord -- it's bad enough when demographers screw up, as they did in the last presidential election, but at least they aren't malicious (Krugman always excepted, but he's just plain nuts) |
