Reply #55: How do you know that they aren't related? [View All]

How do you really know that it is pseudoscience? Of course not every story of abuse is true. Some people are genuinely schizophrenic or otherwise mentally ill, and while they believe that the government is doing things to them, it isn't really true.

However, we have numerous examples of cases where the government really has done - and continues to do - incredibly horrific things. Have you read Seymour Hersh's accounts of the tortures at Abu Ghraib? He is highly credible. He reports having seen videotapes and heard audiotapes. The photos I've seen right here on DU are horrific enough. Their are highly credible first-person accounts by U.S. personnel reporting horrific abuses they witnessed at Guantanamo Bay.

As much as we would like to believe that our government would never do such things, they have. They do.

It's time to start taking a closer look at some of the other reports.
