On the photos and the barebones of it, and why we all should see these photos
every american

That is what took to break the spell in Nazi Germany'

Won't happen, because the Empire cannot allow it. Just like Nazi Germany could not, or for that matter the British Empire... ah the charge of the Light Brigade, not the horrors that followed at the Crimea... we all need to protect the youth after all.

And justice will only come to these people after the fall of Empire, not a second before and not in our courts. Yes feel free to bookmark this.

So for your moral stand, you have to decide, did you elect a leader or a representative, if you elected a leader, by all means carry on... not a word from me. If you elected a representative, then my dears your job is to call them on it, when they do wrong. No matter if they are democrats, republicans, or wear pink tutus.

Citizenship is not for the faint of heart.

If you wish to abrogate and just follow leaders, then you are doing the same thing you called the other side on.

So here is your choice.

Country...

Party

Leaders

Representatives

Those are the choices.

Oh and the argument that it will cost american lives, perhaps... in the short term, but even that is an excuse, as the enemy is fighitn harder, and to the death already, not surrendering to drones. Oh and captured US Troops are already facing a hell of a time, including, torture death and beheadings. That is what Darth Chenney gave us. That is the reality.

Try to sleep on it.

Nadin

2. I've been saying the same thing all night! Thanks Nadin!
"If you wish to abrogate and just follow leaders, then you are doing the same thing you called the other side on. " - So true. The truth doesn't pick sides - and we deserve the truth - even when the truth shows us in a negative light. Until we confront this head on, we will never move past it. People will think about it EVERY time they see Jack Bauer torture somebody on 24. We, as a planet, need resolution on this.

4. We are like voices in the wilderness
but it is never easy to be a citizen... this means standing up on principles no matter who does what.

I vote for a representative, and so do you, but the amount of people voting for leaders is scary

6. Thank you. The BS argument that showing these pix will expose evil done by the US Corporatists
and thus cause greater resistance, as if the million corpses and 10's of thousands of photos of maimed and dismembered and murdered civilians had never been noticed, is both absurd and disgusting.

I thought of posting some of the photos, but any with half a clue know what they show, and those with less than half a clue, who justify suppressing these photos because "they make US look bad," well, they don't want to have more than half a clue and will resist facing reality, regardless of the facts.

7. This is about protecting us, the willing children, from what
the monsters have done...

It is about Empire pure and simple. They KNOW that those photos will be innimical to continuing the lost war... yes we have lost this war already... as you cannot win a war against a tactic. But hey, some folks will defend this decision because it was made by OUR SIDE... and gosh darn it this is a fucking game.

It is twilight zone.

Mr Serling I am ready for the close up
