All this reminds me of political processes when commies took over. But creating a nightmare and trying to hunt it is schizofrenic and tries to prove that everyone can be bought with money, also, who is more powerful is right..instead the cliché democracy. I wonder whether US people for accusing innocent people will pay -in money or prison, I mean those directly lying. I think they should serve the long time in prison and get fined. I wonder whether justice ever will reach the US, cause it seems so far everyone is vulnerable, except americans hiding behind´´the freedom of speech´´whether true or false. Just like calling WMD and then acting upon it.
