Quote:Pfc. Bradley Manning’s alleged leak of a US Army video of US soldiers in helicopters and their controllers thousands of miles away having fun with joy sticks murdering members of the press and Afghan civilians. Manning is cursed with a moral conscience that has been discarded by his government and his military, and Manning has been arrested for obeying the law and reporting a war crime to the American people.
US Rep. Mike Rogers, a Republican, of course, from Michigan, who is on the House Subcommittee on Terrorism, has called for Manning’s execution. According to US Rep. Rogers it is an act of treason to report an American war crime. In other words, to obey the law constitutes “treason to America.”
The problem in a nutshell....and a glimse of part of the kind of thinking (sic) of the neo-fascists who are very much in control and on the acendency. Think about it....how far are we from Germany in the mid-30's? Been there; done that...and strongly do NOT suggest the US and World go that route again.....there will be NO return.......:bandit: no way 'back', I fear, should we go even the smallest bit further in this 'direction': back to the worst moments of past history and ethical horror, given the power of the technology of today for evil [along with the minds of some humans in power].
