Eric Black, MinnPost.com: "At a 'Great Conversations' event at the University of Minnesota last night, legendary investigative reporter Seymour Hersh may have made a little more news than he intended by talking about new alleged instances of domestic spying by the CIA, and about an ongoing covert military operation that he called an 'executive assassination ring.'"

Revelations that a political assassination unit which reported solely to Dick Cheney was in operation during the Bush administration are absent the fact that the unit in question, the Joint Special Operations Command, has been active for decades, has been deployed domestically in the U.S., has killed U.S. citizens, and is an integral part of Barack Obama’s expanded wars in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Investigate Cheney's Personal Assassination Ring
Remember when former Vice President used to claim that he constituted a peculiar fourth branch of government unto himself, claiming executive privilege as part of the executive branch, while with the next breath refusing to obey executive branch record keeping laws? Now we beginning to find out what that fourth branch of government actually was . . . his own private worldwide assassination ring. Somehow we don't recall the U.S. Constitution providing for such a fourth co-equal branch of our government.
Even those who argue that the president has the power as "commander in chief" to commit war crimes with impunity, do not argue that the Vice President should be able to order operate his own war crimes franchise independent of the president. And yet, according to Seymour Hersh, a most reliable source, that is exactly what took place. Cheney was running his own personal assassination squad, reporting directly to himself.

Is there no level of treason outrageous enough to get one of the other two branches of government to confront these crimes against the Constitution? The justice department must immediately appoint a special prosecutor. Failing that, Congress must launch its own investigation, as called for by the always heroic Dennis Kucinich, to get to the bottom of this. Please submit this action page to speak out to them all.
We are doing alerts on many other issues as you all know. For example, continuing to press for single payer health care which the overwhelming majority favor if asked, and to derail proposals that would actually harm the safety of our food supply even more, while we work on our own positive alternatives. But the staggering criminality of the previous administration cannot be swept under the rug without endorsing even worse abuses for the future, so we must stay on that as well.
One need only observe how quickly Congress can move when there is real public outrage, like over the AIG bonus scandal, to realize that all we need to do is speak out in sufficient numbers to instantly have any policy change we want. We did not even have to do an alert on that one. They say these were "retention" bonuses. We happen to think the kind of retention those recipients deserve is arrest and incarceration, for fraud on a scale that dwarfs even Madoff.
This is just a way of saying the purpose of this resource has always been to encourage more people to speak out more often. When we are most successful in doing that, we DO have policy victories. All we have to do to achieve more such victories is to believe that our voices really can have an impact, and to act on that belief.
From time to time we will get an email from someone including language like "they'll never listen to us" or something equally defeatist as that. What we must understand is that we have only one real enemy, our OWN defeatism, for that is all that stands between us and generating policy moving numbers with every alert. Those evil forces that work against the people's interest DEPEND on such voices of despair and resignation to do most of their dirty work for them.
So let us take advantage of every possible opportunity to speak out. We created this resource so that with one click you can register your voice with all your members of Congress and other pressure points at the same time. The more you use the resource the more we will win. And we WILL win more and more.
We are working to pack up the next bulk shipment of the new "Convict Dick & W" caps to go out by the end of the week, so if you have not requested yours yet, you can use this link, and we'll get it out to you as fast as we can.
Convict Dick Caps:

Thank you for your participation.
Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this alert as widely as possible.
