In some many ways. The way that I want to discuss right now is Guantanamo. It is inconceivable (”that word does mean what I think that it means”) to me that what is being done in Guantanamo can be defended in any way, shape, or form. Even if these guys were guilty of something 5 or so years ago, our treatment of them is illegal, unconstitutional, and immoral. In addition to the ongoing illegal torture or these people, the “trials” are mock. Here is a story that is a clear example of just how wrong it is what we’re doing at Guantanamo. Why is this allowed to happen? How do the people who are driving this behavior live with themselves? The US government and the military brass are criminals. We didn’t need to have direct evidence that the highest levels of our government were involved in torture, but fascinating that after 5 years, we now have that. These people are brutal, unconstitutional thugs. These are the same people who were running the Nazi government back in the ’30s. These are the same people who lynched black people in the 1900s in the south. These are the people who are in charge.
I don’t know for sure what McCain would do if, god forbid, he got into office. I do know that he has done everything that he could to support these people.
I have been disgusted for years. I can’t get more disgusted.
