American Imperialism is the biggest terrorist on earth. The problem is that the American mainstream media is always focusing on sex scandals,Charlie Sheen,Lady Gaga,Lindsay Lohan,or the Royal Wedding because to make the American people dumb in order to be not able to be rebellious.
@jannikmt bad example. most nuclear power plants are not easy to fly a plane into for a few reasons. the most important is that i remember one in California when i used to live there that was apart of camp pendelton airspace and no unauthorized air craft is aloud to fly below a certain hard-deck there. but i do see your point that terrorism is not as difficult as it seems in a free nation or any for that matter
Finally, thanks largely to Wikileaks, America is starting to understand why the rest of the world hate them. Act like a dictatorship & tell everyone you're above reproach.
The only difference between the USA and other corrupt governments around the world is that they've been effective at making people ACTUALLY BELIEVE their government is better than all the others and would never pose a threat to themselves or the international community. At least in Saudi Arabia, the people KNOW what their government has always been capable of and don't believe its crap about being on their side and the side of justice.
@Oldcartoons571 As sad as that is, & as much as I REALLY don't want to believe it, I suspect that you are correct. Typical case of "I'm alright jack, screw you!".
Cenk Uygur with this clip just made up for the bad karma of several dozen millions of Americans. Americans have the same potential to be good people as everyone else in the world, but today, so many prefer to drug themselves on nonsensical "patriotism", their "pledge to the flag" and other wouldbe-religious rituals, instead of TRYING TO BE GOOD HUMANS for Christ´s sake! If they stopped this crap and acted as world-citizens instead of Americans, they might actually begin to see the truth.

These people should be tried or set free. We're creating more militant Muslims with these actions. I agree it isn't American to detain these people without a trial.
@mordred612 'It isn't American to detain these people without a trial'. Have you not seen the long list of political prisoners the USA has kept. There needs to be a media revolution in the US because most Americans seem obivious to the atrocities the US commits around the world and a home.
@mordred612 Well, the thing about it is that those politicians that show little concern about Gitmo are there to represent us. That is why they are called our representatives; we vote them in to represent us. So, if these are truly actions that do not represent the people, the people need to vote these mother f'ing politicians out of office and should also be making their voices heard. I'm not seeing the people do either, which makes me think that these values do indeed represent the people.
@TheMidwestAtheist Take a look at the top 20 videos viewed on You Tube for the day, the week, the month and you will see the problem. People don't yet care and are more interested in Jersey shore or Lady Gaga than the world they live in. I'm willing to bet 90% of the population can't even name 5 members of Congress. The politicians do not represent us...they represent our ignorance. We are cattle fed on consumerism, milked of taxes, and sent to slaughter when we no longer can produce.
@TheMidwestAtheist I agree 90%. The other 10% is the impossibility of finding candidates that are real politicians, that is, representatives that work for the people.
@ebent24 I have been hoping for him to be president for the past two elections to be honest. Do not know much about Ventura. My political knowledge has been slipping lately because of my course load in college. Excuses, excuses lol. Ron Paul 2012.
@mordred612 Americans like so many people in Western countries have become indifferent about human rights. It was the 1970's civil rights and anti-Vietnam war protests that the American public last demonstrated the moral high ground that they boast about. 'Power corrupts'. The USA has become corrupt beyond belief and the American public are indifferent. US imperialism which has killed of millions of civilians since WW2 goes mostly unnoticed. I like Americans and hope they get their country back.
@dazzagazza6969 Honestly, I am damn sick of living here. It was once the land of opportunity, but now is more the land of opportunists and we claim a free market democratic society? It isn't a free market if the populace is forced to pay for failed business dealings of the wealthy. It isn't Democratic if we aren't represented by people who believe their position is one of service and not a career of doing nothing to get re-elected and push their interests.
Pretty sad shit, but we see once again that our politicians are a cancerous cast that fights for control over people without any interest at all over their people, the same people that elect them, all the politicians should be but into prison!
Well here is chile, we never put Pinochet in prison because idiotic rightwingers never wanted to, DONT REPEAT the same mistake, bush and his mafia should pay jail time for this.
@130hc Ron Paul never said he was running yet and never named a running mate. Ventura offered to run with him, but when asked Paul said he would like to talk to him and didn't seem pleased with the idea.
obama is a bastard. but you sound so surprised that america does this. well america also assisted in 9/11. america spies on their own ppl through the patriot act. america is destroying the dollar so a new currency can come into play. america is basically a dictatorship. thats why you need to vote for Ron Paul, our only chance. WAKE THE FUCK UP. america isn't what it looks like in the movies. the CIA are not the good guys
Cenk, this is the reason for everything you have talked about in this video.... It's 2011 and it's sad people can't wake the fuck up from the racist and prejudice shit. It's embarrassing at times to be part of such a backward ass nation. Racism & prejudice is used by the so-called powers of the world to keep the HUMAN race from re-uniting and standing up as a whole for HUMAN RIGHTS. There not Black rights, White rights, Hispanic rights. We've got CIVIL rights. It's time to act it.
I've been to "war", HAVE YOU? I've been to those middle eastern countries, HAVE YOU? My brothers in arms wouldn't defend your sorry ass just for that "kill the dam muslim pigs" because some of those muslims are fighting for you, in your military, giving their lives to defend the american values.

@boomtao you didn't see the real shit over there in the third world where they put people in little dirty bathroom called jail forever without any court and lawyer, and if you did you would change your mind a little pit, and by these dictatorships have strong relationship with the US government
@failurbanik -- I am talking about Americans and not about those Islamic lunatics. However you could wonder where their outrage comes from. There are more countries in the world than the USA and moslim states. You should look into the dirty history of the USA. Currently some it (Guatamala) is in the news!
"Beacon on the hill"? Cenk, the consistent breach of more or less EVERY international law for the past 70 years is obvious to the whole world. You go tell yourselves you're the best of the best, but that doesn't make it so.
omg they are sooo stupid now the innocent people that were locked up are going to want to some how get back at the Americans. All they are doing is creating more enemies.
wiki leaks is as reliable as You Tube..Cenk hates the USA and will do or say anything to get you idiot loon libs to support his Anti-American views. deal with it
Afraid you is the Sucker if you beleived in America, Starting off with the Slavery, then the segregation, then internment, then the red scare and proxy wars and vietnam, America has ALWAYS been completely terrible at living up to the ideals of freedom that it was supposed the be founded on.
@NonDeUn i don't say all govornments torture people theyre all corrupt taking power over those who can't seek it for themselves anyway think about this. " Since one Cannot Chose Their Country Of Birth It Is Foolish to Be Proud Of It " Am i Proud To live in this shit country FUCK NO!! am i grateful? sadly, yes.
Cenk, we've been doing this for a long ass time. 1942, Japanese Americans held in internment camps because they were born in the wrong country. The American dream is a pile of shit. This country was founded by slave owners. Enough said.
History repeats itself. Prejudice as a concept can't die. It's a shameful fact of life and occurs and has always repeated itself throughout human history. My children will tell a similar story about a different prejudice to their children, just as I have when I'll tell them about this.
"The United States of America (also referred to as the United States, the U.S., the USA, the States, or America) is a federal constitutional republic comprising fifty states and a federal district." - old article; here's the right form:
"The United States of America (also referred to as the United States, the U.S., the USA, the States, or America) is a federal banana republic comprising fifty states and a federal district."
This is a clear sign that this world needs President Sarah Palin! She will with the blessing and power of GOD HERSELF pardon and release these innocent men, despite their inferiority to women. President Palin WILL be able to shut down Gitmo and completely clean up our judicial system.
@fiercefunky Yeah, as if the pre-9/11 US support for Middle East dictatorships, bombing of civilians in Iraq, building of military bases in Muslim holy lands, the biased support for Israeli military actions, overthrowing of democractically elected government in Iran, and the forming of the Taliban by the CIA wasn't enough reasons. The US is adding to those reasons.
So that's another 158 people whose human rights have been abused and who are now pissed off with the entire western world...Plus their friends...plus their families... way to go America. Land of the free & home of the brave; as long as you have the right complexion.
People like a good, hard line between good and evil, right and wrong. Where's there's not such a nice line, people feel uncomfortable and shift their attention to something else.
Careful everyone, they'll soon start arresting people for just Googeling Taliban" or "Al Qaeda" in an attempt to check if you found out more than THEY know.
@firemarshall007 you obviously don't understand how Obama's hand works... and you believe that team building with the 'right' is more important than TRUE American values and the rule of law... these men who created the rendition programs under Bush - along with the whole of the Administration - should still be investigated for war crimes and treason under OUR laws at least! But, that would destabilize our hold on the world, and give our enemies leverage. IDIOTS... these crimes do just that!
@valiant411 I wonder if the people of Iran, China or Afganistan are outraged by this. Probably not. The only people really worried about this are Liberals and Progressives who don't think Radical Islam had anything to do with 9 -11 anyway.

Every European government would step down immediately after such catastrophic human rights violations. They would be Audi 5000.
Not the US government. They get to shrug it off like it's nothing. Universal Declaration of Human Rights? Never heard of it... How could WE be the bad guys. After all, we have God on our side... It's sickening.
I tell people everyday that the mainstream media is corrupt and is run by the government, yet barely anyone listens even tho all the actions the news stations take back my stance
What I find disturbing more than this situation, (this is NOT shocking to me) is the fact that there are people out here either by youtube or just informing that TRY to worn US citizens. They get shrugged off as "conspiracy theorists" or wackos! WE ARE BECOMING A 3RD WORLD... These injustices are just the beginning! Please wake up people!
@Shadowlit001 For what? Mexico and canada are in the even level than us. And america save many countries because of our donations. Why do you people put A COUNTRY together? You better say that china eats all dog and cats plus fuck all day.
What about compensations for these guys? Basically they kidnap these people and imprison them for many years of their live, also tortures. USA needs to pay the price for doing something like that, lets say $100 million each, and no bargaining!
The whole justice system needs reform, this isnt news around where i live people get years in jail with no evidence eccept some person who says they were there.
Correction, the federal reserve has looted all your wealth and shaved it with their buddies overseas while the republicans democrats and idiots like you let the federal reserve do it.
Nope, If there isn't any profit involved, the rights of an individual or MILLIONS OF PEOPLE simply don't exist.
That's what glorious Capitalism, the bloody Free Market, has done. Places like Cambodia and Tibet weren't aided because no one had anything to gain from helping them. But Iraq and Afghanistan? Oh hell no! Gotta protect the oil!!!
And don't think it's just Americans either; As a Canadian, I know we arent much better. Europe doesn't have much to say either.
who do we charge with these crimes? kidknapping, conspiracy...fucking torture! im pissed...what can we do? someone has to be held responsible...and not some patsy either...
This is one of those episodes of American history that our children will read about in their history text book... And we will have to explain with shame; just like my father explained to me who we denied the same rights to blacks before the civil right, and imprison Americans decedents of Japaneses during World War II just because of how they looked... This actually makes me think... Haven't we learn anything about our history?
@Pagweb Maybe the state of the world has made me cynical, maybe it's because it seems like we haven't learned anything from our history, but I feel like this wont make it into our history books in any substantial form for at least two more generations. I hope I'm wrong.
@Pagweb Like this would actually make it into history books, I recently looked in my old high school's new books and anything that would make the US is being taken out and you think that this will make it in there dream on man. I mean I can't tell you how many people I know that don't know what Hiroshima and Nagasaki it truly is sad for future generations.
@Tatert212 Nothing of value makes it into US high school level (or below) history books. You won't learn anything useful until you're in college and since most dumbass amerikans never go to college... Anyway, one book that should be required 12th grade level reading material is- Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong. If they taught kids the truth, we would have a large scale armed revolt and a change in power structure in less than a generation.
Seriously, why are there still so many Americans screaming justice at Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, etc? I'm honestly asking, why are you STILL complaining yet doing NOTHING? Your parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents have been doing EXACTLY what you're doing right now; "there is nothing new under the sun." So stop doing nothing about the true terrorism which plagues humanity, which YOUR complacency and indifference enforces & propagates! Its time to stop, wake up, and smell the revolution...
Just another reason Cheney, Bush, and other motherfuckers like them should be rotting in prison right now. Unbelievable how this isn't a huge story in the media like it should be. Some of the worthless idiots who scream the loudest about "freedom" are the one's that only want freedom for the select few at the EXPENSE of OTHER people's freedom. Frauds. Jack Nicholson says something about the right-wing so-called freedom lovers in "Easy Rider".
@MrNintoku Yet the American population has accepted this fact for over a decade, and nobody is surprised. I find it hilarious how Americans STILL don't understand why the rest of the world hates them.
THEY shouldn't have done 9/11? Do you realize how incredibly stupid you just were?
How about "Whites shouldn't have created the KKK", or " Christians (and Jews and Muslims) shouldn't have led the Crusades". "The Chinese shouldn't have started the Taiping Rebellion". "Americans shouldn't have began a war in Iraq".
Or how about, "Your parents shouldn't have conceived". Does that put it into perspective? Is that fair?
You're not a true Christian, you're simply a hateful bigot.
Of course! That was a brutal even in history. I won't hold any individual American responsible for the Native American Indian massacre, but I WILL point out that that's what America was founded on when they try and act superior to other nations.
And as for all you bigots who pull fits when they talk about immigrants and whine about them leeching off your country, remember: You're ALL descendants of immigrants, your ancestors TOOK this land from the natives, you have no right to complain.
@BornWhiteSupremacy1 "If we can extract information from them, who cares if they're innocent? They shouldn't have done 9/11." WOW!!! That comment is so REMARKABLY stupid, it is mind bending! I mean, really, truly, off the charts!
You must live a very sad existence. I sincerely hope you put the effort into making your life better so you don't have to find meaningless happiness in being an online racist troll.
If you were happy in your life you wouldn't feel the need to spew such hateful nonsense. I pity you.
As an atheist I don't typically say this, but you need to find Jesus.
I hear one guy was arrested as a suspected terrorist cause he was sitting near two suspects as he was travelling on a bus! Wow I be seriously pissed if that happened to me. Have any of you read any of the leaked reports on people? Had one guy who kept to himself - no trouble and the high ups all think he was some kind of mastermind. Yeah he acts all docile but thats what he wants us to think. Really he is probing for information. LOCO!
I'm starting to see why America is hated by much of the world. Can you imagine if an innocent American was held in a middle eastern prison...I have now officially lost faith in America.
