Well since it's just the two of us Amy- thanks for another stellar report from some true investigative reporters. i do think it's alarming that my fellow citizens- especially over here at commondreams- do not seem to care about such exciting news from the dark depths of our gulag. How can we fix it if no one pays it any attention?

busting in people's houses and brutal night arrests have been a staple of military action in Iraq since the beginning but I only recently have been hearing about this going on in Afghanistan.The timing is brilliant. everybody hats us already, and so we needed to find some way to win their hearts and minds. This is certainly a wonderful way to do that.

We care!

To those of outside of the USA, this shocking news that the US government is fascist and engaged in War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity was featured prominently in our local news...just under the breaking story of bear feces being found a the nearly wooded area...and just above the ongoing reportage about the Popes appearant belief in the divinity of ancient Magical Jewish carpenters.

How can any American not be totally ashamed of this???? I cannot any longer claim that I am proud to be an American!!! It is clear that the Military Industrial Complex is the "de facto" government of our country! We have paid no heed whatsoever to President Eisenhower's dire warning!!!

Where is Move-on and all those fancy talking Progressives?

Are these secret sites engaged in war crimes? If they are the personnel manning them will also be guilty of war crimes. The US being so strong can, of course, protect these miscreant criminals for awhile but sooner or later some of them will be foolish enough to travel outside the US and then? They will experience international justice!

again Surprised?
In 1755 the deportation of acadians by Gen Lawrence of Boston.Women in a boat,children in another. Left to die. But Acadians survived.Some of them.See "Evangeline"

Do you know many countries in the world that tolerate a genocider on their currency.
What would USA say if Hitler were on 50 Mark bill.(Germany would not allow it)
Would you say that USA setting standards at Nuremberg are HYPOCRITES.?
