US Is The Torture State

The European Court of Human Rights has ruled against US torture conducted in Poland:

For the United States, the torture program is too big to expose.

And that is precisely why accountability is so vital to American democracy. We cannot have reached the stage in our development as a country where the very enormity of the government's misconduct becomes its shield against exposure. We cannot, in other words, reward the government for its wrongdoing by promising that only modest and insignificant transgressions will be brought to light. To do so would be to encourage the government to break its solemn faith with us, not by unfortunate and excusable negligence, but by unforgivable and deliberate venality. Our government would then cease to be our servant in any sense that does justice to the word.

I cannot believe we have fallen that far.

I'm sorry Professor Margulies, but we have fallen that far. There is no accountability here. And Obama ad-Dajjal and his minions are not going to change that one iota. Nor will the next administration.

The US is on a steep downward path. And as our money woes increase, it will only get worse. We're going to get finger pointing and name calling for electioneering purposes, but not much else.

World, take note: The US will never accept your judgments or your punishments. If you want real change, you will have to BDS us some day. It will be painful, but like the process of weaning yourself off heroin, in the long run it will be beneficial to you.
