5. Not Just Creepy, Criminal

That guy sat there and admitted to criminal acts that got Germans and Japanese hung in 1945 !

What came to my mind:
Why would the CIA let him come on and say ANYTHING?
I guess they/he is not afraid of any repercussions of coming on and admitting he is a war criminal?

Interesting how his main justification was:
'You have to remember how scared we were back then.' <words to that effect...

Wasn't there a day in America when this would be met with public/media outrage?
Won't even be a blip on a radar tomorrow...

Obama and his family and that's why no one got in trouble for war crimes, including Bush and Cheney.

I was blown away last night to see the CIA office called George Bush Intelligence Agency or something like that, made me sick.
