 U.S. Torture Providing Cover for Other CountriesPosted on Oct 24, 2006From the AP: “Several governments around the world have tried to rebut criticism of how they handle detainees by claiming they are only following the U.S. example in the war on terror, the U.N. anti-torture chief said Monday.” This is what happens when you preach freedom and liberty, but practice torture.

There was a time -not that long ago, that we critisized China for Hmen Rights Abuses
‘For putting their prisnors to work in factories….Making shoes and necessary items to recompense for the damage theve done to society.
How funny is that? Weve come a long way down the sinkhole of the unforgivable, when a US President says -the Geneva Conventions is “not clear” on torture.

People have now discovered that the U.S. is not force for democracy after all and perhaps never was. It was just a rhetoric for PR and a code word for ‘rule by corporations’ model it wants other countries to adopt which benefit U.S. corporations.

The problem is that these countries can also say, “We’re not doing anything different than what the Nazis and Communists have always done!”
We are confused when it comes to even knowing the age of the principles we accept. A number of people are even telling us that the constitution is “outdated.” Yet I am reminded of current American policy on terror, when I even hear professors of universities describe Communist and Nazi practice, or even when I heard them describing the Inquisitions. Are those professors prophets? How can they describe things that would wind up being future policy? How did they know that something called the Patriot Act would emerge every time they talk about the Inquisitions?
It is such a vital law, it was completely unnecessary for the entire life of the United States until President Bush and the other members of our government watching him and protecting him have arrived.
The Actual Purpose of the Patriot Act!

Well that was certainly just as predictable as that the Iraq war would be a disater.
