I know about the real u.s. government. I live hear and am a citizen but I know the fucked up things this government is doing to not only its own people but people over seas. We need a rebellion. Fuck your secret prisons and facist agenda masked by so called democracy. One day soon we are going to fight back and give the people the power back. I wont let this go on for much longer. Violence isn't right but once they use it on you its fair game.

I would say to the CIA and all military personal and to the United States: MANGE DE LA MARDE ! MON CHIEN SALE ! You are just gross country and very very disgusting. I vomit on you all for having no respect to your citizens and to your neighbours. Your country is fucked up ! You are doing the work of Satan instead of the work of God and Christ Jesus.

Why would you want to put a guilty person on trial, it's just a waste of time unless of course you want to dramatize it and boost TV ratings.

Personally it's not news worthy.

I believe war criminals should be dealt with like a Band-Aid. JUST DO IT!

How about rendering George Bush and his cronies in his administration to the International Criminal Court in the Hague?

Heres the latest news:

America is a Nation of TORTURE,.... as if we hav'nt figured this out already.

Doctors that have a lot of experience examining Torture victims from all around the world, have now examined U.S. detainees,... Doctors say there is strong evidence that Detainees in U.S. prisons were tortured.

Also in the News: U.S. Soldiers in Iraq have been Torturing & Killing helpless animals of many kinds, including Dogs, cats & camels.

Your silence makes you complicit to war Crimes.

I, as an American Citizen, condemn the American Government for Extraordinary Rendition and feel shame and sadness that the principals for which America once stood, are so fragile, that in a time of crisis (or anytime) our US Constitution has been rendered meaningless. Bush himself, said, "It's just a goddamn piece of paper" I do not support my government and apologize to anyone who has been a victim of Extraordinary Rendition.

There is nomore difference between the US and a regime like the Saddam Husseins or Adolf Hitler.

Unbelievable that the americans don´t do anything against such a president and his friends..

[saintrambone]

The regime in power is torturing innocent Americans in the billion dollar federal banking regulatory industry. I was injected and tortured after being a bank examiner. I hope the regime is attacked and destroyed throughout space. We have no Geneva Convention. They do not protect, they attack us, the humane humans. Never again serve. Crack their necks and sever their heads, we are better off if they or IT is dead.

Type in Naomi Wolf + "The End of America"

So what is the penalty for breach of the Geneva Conventions? Prosecute; impeach, and imprison.

Torture is illegal.
