Arkansas Shooting Soldier Killed because of GITMO and Torture
Arkansas Shooting Soldier Killed because of GITMO and Torture

Authorities said he targeted soldiers "because of what they had done to Muslims in the past."

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,524833,00.html

One thing BushCo did not care to think about is how US Soldiers would be treated if they would become prisoners or just walking the streets anywhere in the world.

Cheney says it would make us more safe to torture prisoners.

It was not Soldiers that did to Muslims, it was orders from the likes of two high profile draft dodgers and Rumsfeld that knew they will never be held accountable for the deaths of soldiers like this 24 year old man in little rock.

How Very Sad.

1. And not to downplay what he did, but he's an American who converted to Islam
Imagine how Muslims in the ME feel, particularly those who suffered indiscriminate US torture firsthand or know someone who did. I fear our country as a whole will be paying for Bush**'s war crimes for many, many years to come.

2. Imagine how the little Iraqi boy and girl feel who witnessed both parents and a sibling
killed by a hail of bullets at a checkpoint as their parents attempted to rush home to beat the curfew.

3. Of couse, maybe it was more racist shooting...
...the shooter was Black, the victim White - the 'religious' aspect is just bullshit.

4. Notice the contrast in Corporate M$M propaganda structure and complicity with Law Enforcement to the
treatment of the Knoxville Shooter, who killed liberals and boasted about it in a note.

Said note, of course, which (other than the advocation of murder) is 100% in line with what the Savage Weiners and Hannidiots are saying, was painstakingly precise and four pages long

Naturally, in what has become the most common phenomena in the whole disgusting Corporate Media edifice, the note of the Knoville Shooter was 100% SUPPRESSED until the last minute of the last day of his trial. Never spoken about or quoted in the Corporate Toady M$M, blanket 100% silence (as usual).

But this shit, of course, bursts on the scene in a week, and you KNOW that if a Liberal was to (God Forbid) run amok and kill Rushpublicans simply for who they were, the same would ahppen.

How does that happen? How does that work, in an on-the-ground way? I know not, but I know it works, time and time again, a Soviet-like double standard applies.

Law Enforcement HAS to be involved and complicit, to some degree. Because the Knoxville Shooter's manifesto of Rushpublican hatred was, according to the local newspaper articles, literally held out of the trial until the very last day of sentencing.

How does such a thing happen when, as we all know, the default position is, for basically 100% of ALL lurid criminal actions that are M$M-covered, we get to hear EVERYTHING about EVERY ASPECT OF THE CASE, whether substantiated or not.

Except in those handful of stories that could be polticially damaging to Bushies.

I am not condoning what either of these bastards did, just pointing out the obvious fact that there is some kind of odious Soviet-style double-standard going on here, and it's the same as it ever was.

5. Killing to prevent abortions and killing randomly to prevent Iraqi deaths
Both murderers claim they were acting to save others by killing people - I completely reject the argument of both murderers since their philosophy of terrorism doesn't differ from each other.
