I have been following the torture trail re the US for some time and have been continually vilified, as has anyone else who has done so, by SierraSong/Brandon clones for raising facts as they come to light here.
It is interesting that the name calling has gone from liar and lunatic to the "why do you hate America" stuff.....
I suspect in saner times these brave men and women who are raising these uncomfortable truths will be regarded as heroes...whicc I think they are, to follow their conscience and human decency in the midst of terrifying group think.
You have any words of criticism for the Iraqi insurgents who kidnap civilians, use them for blackmail, and then cut their heads off; or for the Palestinian advocates who blow themselves up in marketplaces where women and children are sure to be; or for the people who flew civilian airlines into the World Trade Center? Our worst prisoner abusers look like choir boys by comparison.
Yes I do have words of condemnation for those terrorists.
Do you have any for your government's now proven illegal as well as immoral behaviour?
Oddly enough, as you people never appear capable of grasping, it is actually possible to hold more than one reality in one's mind at the same time, and to disapprove of immoral and inhumane and illegal behaviour from one side, without condoning it from the other.
However, having expeerienced your ongoing blind apologist nonsense for some years, I can only conclude you incapable of more than one simplistic, Manichean view, and consider you beyond the reach of reason and the ability to deal with any but one view.
I pity you, frankly. Especially sinceyou and your ilk have seen your carefully constructed view of reality deconstructed blow by blow, without having the intellectual honesty, or human decency, to acknowledge how wrong you have been or, apparently, to even notice.
As I said, your accusations of lying and lunacy for those who have been prepared to look beyond your government's propaganda effort have subsided to these weak squibs of "but they're bad too!", as if that was ever challenged, or relevant.
Remember, most do not share your simplistic world view or mental incapacity to manage to hold the rights and wrongs of one group in mind when considering the actions of another.
