Brits enraged at American brutality.
British Fury at US 'Kill and Kill Again' Policy

A senior British officer suggested releasing many of the prisoners detained by the coalition, but saw his suggestion shot down by American commanders, according to a US magazine.

And the British military was said to be increasingly upset at the willingness of US troops to “kill, kill and kill again”, according to a former British officer.

It's not "just 6 MP's" as the reprehensible publican congressman duncan hunter proclaimed on c-span this morning, it is a systemic policy of brutality that comes from the boardroom of bushlerco and is tainting this country as the NEW NAZIS in a way that we will never be able to repair.

Let duncan hunter know that we will not accept his fascistic apologisms and that he should step down now for his irresponsible and inflammatory partisan rhetoric.

3. Killings to divert attention are a normal thing for this Administration
Setting up and killing Patsies are a "normal" thing for this Administration and, like those flight delays, are not unusual and they aren't indicative of some kind of CONSPIRACY.

5. Given Britain's past history in the Middle East
not to mention India and Ireland - I don't know how they can claim the high ground.

6. OK, We're not as bad as the Brits or Saddam.
Then what we are doing must be OK, right?

7. No way was that my meaning
No way is what we are doing "ok". I think we're behaving like Nazis. I expect the United States to follow the Geneva Convention. I just don't have any faith that the Brits would behave any better - not that that in anyway excuses the our behavior or makes it "less bad".
