You know what you get with the US and NATO - illegal invasions, bombing of civillians, torture and rape, all with a smile and a lecture on human rights - fine words and evil deeds, the standard western approach. But the world knows now to see the deeds and ignore the lies and hypocrisy. Great to see the world moving on from the European colonial myths!

I think it was rather absurd of him to argue that just because we aren't doing what he mentions anymore means that if we were to fully disclose what we had done that would pose no security threat. Generally speaking, history, especially recent history, is alive and influential. Nevertheless, I agree the information should be disclosed, and I think that if it were accompanied by trials of the ring leaders that would largely mitigate the security fall out. In general, the commentator seemed methodical and thorough. This makes him seem trustworthy to me, but I would like the allegations of military abuses to be put into finer focus ("thousands" is hardly precise, and where and when is important to). Of course, that could more easily be done if the information were released. Likewise, the information would make it easier internally to gain public support for trials against former Bush administration officials. I think these trials should occur, but won't. Obama seems unwilling to take up the issue because he feels as though doing so would turn into a partisan affair that would cost him political capital and thereby sacrifice portions of his broader agenda. I think it is rather absurd really that the investigations need his go ahead in order to occur; the system should work in such way that enough independent entities are capable of levying the charges that someone is bound to; NGO human rights groups for instance should be able to do this. The presence or absence of conviction should have to do with guilt rather than political expediency. Lack of punishment of the guilty provokes lasting suspicion and denies us a deterrent towards further abuses.

The US became a farm for harvesting manufactured "humans" - those who have been purposely bio-engineered as the "criminally insane" to do the bidding of the owners who run the corporate "American" operation. Like the organ harvesting and then the sex trading - women, children, you name it and the sickest of humans have taken control of exchanging "money" in forms of 21st Century style "flesh trading" ... .... and the CIA, NATO, Mossad, et al., etc., are just earning profits for their shareholders and we know how complicated a global reality this is. Who runs the torturers and more intelligent a question is, who funds and trains the TRANSNATIONALS? Are the transnationals a collective of shareholders? Can the primary owner/s be tracked and traced? What about holding the actual responsible, responsible - in other words since the smartest do already know. Which conglomerate of transnationals have committed the highest crime/s against all humanity by and through using the human brain as though a killing robot ... .... ? Time for a real change, and full transparency can begin it now as Goethe would agree.

Count Cash said it right. The USA is corrupt to the core and it wants total spectrum dominance. This frightening Orwellian state also has it's hands on such a frightening military and especially nuclear arsenal that no one in the world should feel safe from that mad torture state. Fortunately for humanity it is failing rapidly.
