How have the endless women and children who have died in the Near East because of a war being carried on by your favorite American dictator/president attacking YOU and denying YOU your liberties!!! What have these civilians done to Americans? Al-Qaeda does not equal Iraq. Al-Qaeda does not equal Afghanistan. Sober Americans can see this and are tired of fighting a rich mans war... tired of sacrificing these countries young men, be they black, white, or any background, to an empty cause.

Like his book on the CIA involvement in heroin trafficking, his research gives such a horrific picture of the people in charge of the US, it's hard for the average law-abiding US citizen to take it in. But the guy is a genuine academic - he never makes a statement unless he's got evidence for it.

So you say the people in Guantanamo are terrorists, Ok have all of them been tried fairly and convicted of being so, no, they are suspects, the US have rounded up whoever they could find and taken them there, wake up and see whats happening, no one wants to nuke the US you lot wont let anyone have a nuke apart from your friends (Israel, the UK), and as far as your concerned you need to stop playing into the hands of what the idiots controlling your country have been feeding you

Its scary to see that the U.S. has to resort to the methods of a totalitarian government, all established from the very top of government. What does this mean to our own civil liberties?
