Steady! We must not become our enemy. We achieve peace and justice through peaceful and just means, or not at all!
- cwkoss 5y agoWe are already as bad or worse than our enemy by torturing them, covering it up, and using bad information to justify genocide against innocent civilians! The idea that we are 'above' them is only possible because propaganda and secrecy keeps the horrors of what our country does out of the zeitgeist. As long as former torturers get to be pundits on TV talk shows, I see no path to fixing this. We need someone courageous and with power to start enforcing the existing laws against these people to the maximum or the problem is only going to get worse.
