So much for "change." I told people all last year that Obama was on the Council on Foreign Relations JUST LIKE President G. W. Bush, Cheney, McCain and Biden are, which means they're all in bed with the central bankers.

They are now using it for new waves of coercions to significances that their bosses spotted. Is drug money more significant right now? People have to investigate their switches and fringe extensions.

I think it's 2 right now and that's when the facility was first open. Things have changed since then. Dramatically.

getlikeryan, havent 3 people died at Bagram-from US abuse? Also reports have been leaked of physical and pyschological abuse from American soldiers. Its bloody illegal

All of you lay off. Do you realize how humanely we treat these people in Bagram? The hit us, spit on us, throw shit on us, and we just clean ourselves off and get on with our jobs. You're opinions are useless until you've been here and see how it really is.

darkchocosinger,

Hamas is the elected party of Gaza and the US and Israel are the terrorists that blocked the democratic elected from taking control of Government and was preparing Fatah for a coup. Hamas pre-empted the coup and took the Government.

Hamas has been fighting Israeli brutality and occupation that has been going on for decade and US has been supporting the Israeli war criminals. Is that what you call innocence of America?
