I suppose we'll have to disagree, considering that you even know about Guantanomo through US court documents is a reason to doubt your line of thinking.

- lucian1900 5y agoGuantanamo was not public for a long time and any legal proceedings were famously impeded. We didn’t even find out about the torture for a long time. The film The Mauritian portraits this quite well. Abu Ghraib wasn’t made public through courts at all. How many other such places exist and still kept secret for now? The past would suggest there are at least several.
- TheMagicHorsey 5y agoAmerica's internal process revealed these things. Its own journalists and its own whistleblower mechanisms. If you lived in America, you would see the huge amount of protests on the streets against the Iraq war and other international adventures. Also, US politicians with significant power regularly speak out against such adventures. This is America's internal control mechanisms. There are no such mechanisms in China. Anyway, there's no point discussing this further. Either you understand this level of nuance, your you inherently believe in the notion that "all countries are equally bad" type philosophy with no regard to how information is brought to light and how a country is constrained.
- lucian1900 5y agoAll countries aren’t equally bad, the US is far worse than any other. Guantanamo bay is still open, despite what happens there being illegal under Cuban, US and international law. Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning are still persecuted. You either understand that your country is oppressing the entire world or you blindly believe everything your ruling class tells you.
