There seems to be a problem with posting this comment to you.
This nation is seriously ill!
When this nation is so blood thirsty for Bin Laden death photos and burial video that it cares not the about the inciting repercussions, only its own drooling satisfaction of/for revenge and the Bush War Criminals in John Wayne quick draw fashion rally to the value of torture as the contributing factor in Bin Laden’s demise; we bear witness, yet again, to their attempts to justify their criminality as they bolster themselves from what will come to pass as the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts wind down, a confrontation of the USA with The Geneva Conventions and War Criminal Proceedings, even trials in absentia.
Wikileaks has already revealed our interference and manipulations against Spain’s Prosecutor Garzon on this matter.
That effort is not done and the Garzon path to the Hague, while complicated is not lost; in fact it gains strength and support abroad and with a very accomplished team within the USA. When war is over; then it hits the fan. The fan is whirling and America will have to learn someday that we are not above the law and that we are not free to do anything we damn well please.
That attitude and arrogance is characteristic, always present in criminal acts, be thmething Jey those of the common street criminal or those of the corporate and Government “elite”.
The Bush administration knew full well that it was in the wrong, was prepared to ignore the Geneva Conventions as it was prepared to consign our Constitution to the dumpster as an obsolete, irrelevant document of our past. They had legal staff prepare rationale of evasion of the law, a criminal act in and of itself.
Stop and ask yourself: “What rights to we have left”. Answer: only the 2nd Amendment right to “Keep and Bears Arms” currently has full force after the DC Case. Given the hateful nature of our discourse; what does that say for the future?
Are we so different and demoralized that further economic deterioration, the deliberate undoing of “The New Deal”, the equalization of rights, racial and women’s, the open assault on the Middle Class and Unions, Public Employees and factory workers, on the future of our young, that we will not rise up as folks have along the shores of Northern Africa? I think not!
Time and desperation are the sires of revolution and it might do Americans well to revisit soFK said: “Those who make peaceful evolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable>” Off course David; there will always be those fools who believe the media: “That it can’t happen here.”
