Reply #5: I paid for 'em, lemme see them [View All]

[gratuitous]

That torture and those rapes are mine. I paid for them with my tax dollars, and if you pay taxes so did you. I own them and I want to see them. What has been done in my name and with my money in Iraq? It's a very simple economic principle, one that even a primitive Republican screwhead can understand.

Next, I want to know who did this while he or she was on my payroll. And who was nominally in charge. And who their commanding officer was. And who their commander in chief was. Because I want to see every last one of them in the dock with me for these crimes. If I don't see justice done for these atrocities, then a share of that justice accrues to me -- and it accrues to you, if you don't want the truth to come out.

This is not what America stands for. This is not part of our founding, or part of our developing history. For over 200 years, the United States has stood for the proposition that we are a nation of laws, not of men. We've followed our laws and used the law to prosecute even the holder of our highest office when it appeared that the holder of that office had committed a crime.

Let's get it out there. We owe the victims no less.
