POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN RUSSIA TODAY
Civilized is not the point.
The United States mouths stuff about human rights and
democracy while assassinating, stealing, and abusing people.
Monumental hypocrisy is the point.
The fact must be thrown into America's face when it makes
spurious claims.
The CIA Torture Gulag - of which Guantanamo is only part -
is gross hypocrisy, all of it carefully kept offshore, as though that fact kept
the spirit of the Constitution.
The U.S. has in truth been a bloody monster for half a
century: 3 million killed in its Vietnam Holocaust; a million in Cambodia owing
to its destabilizing; a million in Iraq; and more.
