Guantanamo To Be Death Camp After All
Seems execution chambers are being prepared for the prisoners we're holding there, which is only logical as we can't afford to continue to feed them much longer. Assuming we have been.
A few things I wonder:
(a) Hitler started small with the camps. First it was just his political enemies. Is this perhaps research & development for future ways to deal with dissidents in this country, now that we have the Padilla precedent(as you may recall, Padilla was taken by the authorities and dealt with as though he were not a US citizen--but he is one)? You're already used to detainment without rights of people you've never met. Soon you'll be prepared to deal with its happening to your neighbor. You may think this unthinkable. You'd be wrong. Something like that was planned in the 80s by North and came out publicly--though the media didn't run with it--in the Iran-Contra hearings. There were camps built--some still ready for operation--from old military bases, for internment of dissidents if we invaded Nicaragua, very much planned at the time. It's always the same plan. It's just that sometimes they get delayed when they lose an election.
(b) Oh, isn't that enough?
This is to be contrasted with Jackie Judd, conservative mouthpiece, on ABC News tonight saying there are only four left, no doubt a pre-emptive strike against this rapidly spreading story. Not that we'll ever know exactly what happened to all the others. (She also used the triumphal "dealt with" when describing it, just as Bush does)
Swear to god, just get your news from Google. Don't watch TV. It poisons your mind and if it doesn't trick you it dispirits you and makes you think you can't make a difference. Bullshit, folks, bullshit.
