White House-Approved War Crimes : Bush-Era Torture Memo Finally Released

http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/9/93384/2104761-the_white_house1.jpg

 

Recently I reported on a study which showed that states who approve of institutionalized torture,

also known as

“enhanced interrogation”

must accept that they are going to torture innocent people for telling the truth.

This was a disturbing revelation for some,

although many of my readers clearly realized that this was the case

and made comments to the effect that it was just stating the obvious.

Indeed,

in my mind,

no government which allows torture to be carried out

is legitimate,

and that includes the government of the United States of America

in the modern day.

Massacres Are The Inevitable Result Of Foreign Occupation

The latest slaughter in Afghanistan is part of a decade of savage civilian killing.

Until Nato leaves -  it is certain to continue.

The evidence surrounding the Panjwai massacre is so far contradictory.

If it was the work of a single gunman,

he was likely to have been unhinged or motivated by perverted religious or racist hatred.

But however extreme,

it was certainly not an isolated incident.

As in Iraq,

the killing and abuse of civilians by occupation forces has been an integral part of this dirty war from its earliest days.

As it drags on,

ever more outrages emerge.

leader of the massacre at Haditha, in Iraq,

became the seventh soldier to walk free

- from the mass murder of twenty four unarmed men,

women and children,

in three homes and a taxi.

It was another chilling, ruthless, cold blooded,

up to five hour rampage,

revenge for the death of a colleague in a roadside bomb

- which had nothing to do with the rural families that paid the price.

The youngest to die was one year,

the oldest was seventy six year old,

He died with nine rounds in the chest and abdomen.
