Problem is right now there is none: accountability

And there are two rules of law at work here. One for them, and one for us. Heh ours is not the better deal.

We live in a country now where murderers and torturers walk free amongst and not only that promote their crimes.

It's not just or justice. I am a Vet myself (11 years), and I have nothing but complete and utter contempt for this.
