2. they're strutting around with the veil of authority because
Edited on Sun Sep-20-09 11:49 AM by Solly Mack
America won't admit it committed war crimes & crimes against humanity.

America won't admit that it broke the law.

America uses phrases like "enhanced interrogation techniques" to describe torture.

America likes to pretend waterboarding isn't torture.

America likes to pretend there's confusion on what torture is and isn't.

America pretends you can commit war crimes in "good faith" by pretending a war crime isn't a war crime if lawyers that work for a war criminal says war crimes are legal.

America likes to pretend a crime isn't a crime if America does it and America likes to hide their crimes behind bullshit phrases.

America likes to wrap its war crimes in the flag and call it patriotic to torture people.


And that's why thugs implicated in war crimes can go around demanding that no one look into their crimes.

That's why they can go on TV and into universities to teach.

Because America likes to pretend it is something it isn't.

We see it in how people in government discuss the war crimes committed - the media as well & "respected" guest on TV

The language used to hide war crimes behind...the pretending...and the language used shows a concerted effort to mask the crimes. To make it easier for some to pretend torture isn't torture and war crimes aren't really war crimes.
