So Americans are colluding with a criminal regime. We have become an outlaw nation — a clear and present danger to international law and global stability — among civilized countries that have been our allies. We are — rightly — on Canada’s list of rogue nations that torture.
Europe is still high from Barack Obama’s recent visit. Many Americans, too, hope that an Obama victory in November will roll back this nightmare. But this is no time to yield to delusions. Even if Obama wins, he may well be a radically weakened president. The Bush administration has created a transnational apparatus of lawlessness that he alone, without global intervention, can neither roll back nor control.
Private security firms — for example, Blackwater — will still be operating, accountable neither to him nor to Congress, and not bound, they have argued, by international treaties. Weapons manufacturers and the telecommunications industry, with billions at stake in maintaining a hyped “war on terror” and their new global surveillance market, will deploy a lavishly financed army of lobbyists to defend their interests.
What a hysterical article! She’s downright loopy. Blackwater’s under her bed, taping her calls and drugging her tap water. What a freaking loon.
She also cites that "torture tape" of a whinging al Qaeda terrorist, who they always label a “Canadian minor.” First off, he’s spent almost his whole life in the terrorist hotbeds in the middle east, not Canada, and was captured on the battlefield after he threw the grenade that killed a US soldier. And his “torture video” was laughable. He was basically sobbing and saying that some unnamed evil guys took his eyes and his feet, while the (Canadian, btw) interrogators patiently explain to him that his eyes are still in his head and are working fine and his feet are right at the ends of his legs, where they always were. Then when they offer him some water, he waves his arms around screaming “I can’t move my arms!”
The whole video is like a SNL skit, that could only make screaming moonbat looneys like Naomi uncomfortable. Maybe if the Canadian interrogators wore earthtone outfits, deep-thinking Naomi would feel better.
“Even if Obama wins, he may well be a radically weakened president.”
LOL. Obama is a puppet controlled by senior democrats. Does anyone honestly think he got where he is without his liberal handlers? He has zero power on his own.
