Reply #21: What are they afraid of? If there is nothing to worry about [View All]

they would not refuse to allow him to do his job. But in a way, they have done it for him. By their blocking him from having an unmonitored visit with Manning, the consensus is that Manning has been tortured.

It sounds like Mendez was prevented from verifying or dismissing the charges. And it sounds like the US is afraid of what he might find out. And this is why the US has lost its moral authority around the world, and why such Human Rights abusers as China, can attack the US when we have the gall to point fingers at THEM, with a long list of Human Rights abuses by the US, including our refusal to allow Mendez to do his job. And why the US cannot counter those charges.

Attempting to defend this is a waste of time. People around the world will see this as par for the course for this country now. Nothing iow, has changed.

I hope one day this country can be restored to the rule of law. I had hoped it would be already in progress, but it looks like we will have to wait a lot longer before that happens.
