Reply #8: Without a public trial, I imagine? [View All]

[warren pease]

By using a private military tribunal kangaroo court, they keep the public from learning anything specific about how the defendants spent their Cuban vacations, including the hideous details of their sessions with our official torturers.

And, without admitting to actually practicing torture, the bastards could still claim that the fear of torture works just fine. And since everybody knows the US would never use torture because Bush said so, it must have been the fear of it that made them incriminate themselves.

Best of all, dead men tell no tales, so executing them seals the files and nobody on the outside knows nuttin'.

All in a day's work for vice president motherfucker, his stumblebum howdy doody marionette and the ingeniously evil (in)justice department.

And when a couple dozen US troops get tortured and executed for war crimes somewhere in the Middle East, the bastards can issue strongly worded statements condemning these outrageous violations of the Geneva Conventions, while the rest of the world just laughs its collective ass off and eagerly awaits the death rattle of the empire.

Your tax dollars at work.
