How is this administration not institutionalized terrorism?
Edited on Wed Dec-07-05 09:42 AM by sui generis
Condoleeza Rice is practicing pure terrorism when she "threatens" to "withhold cooperation on terrorist threats to European nations".

In her speech she essentially threatened not to work with European countries that were under threat of terrorism, meaning, if we had intel of an imminent terrorist threat, we would withhold it to "punish" that country for not agreeing with our rendition policies.

Witholding knowledge of terrorist activities is how she justifies torture ("extraordinary rendition") of alleged terrorists, and we have gone to great lengths to equate inaction on terrorism with support of terrorism right here at home.

So Condoleeza Rice has advocated the use of terrorism and torture against allies who don't support our torture policy.

Another one: she said yesterday that we don't advocate U.S. personnel engaging in torture. Read between the lines. Any non U.S. personnel, here's a waterboard, have a heyday. Condoleeza Rice you are a fucking liar, and deeply evil human. I wouldn't hesitate to turn you over to the world court, but you knew that might happen, which is why we've withdrawn from participation in the world court.

We ARE the evil empire. Every morning I wake up stunned that we are getting through our boring little lives, but the "America" we identify with is not on the side of good. But I am not surprised that Europe has given us plenty of rope and is now laughing at Condi's speeches while they watch us hang ourselves.

This entire administration needs to be ripped out of the whitehouse and sent to a tiny little cell in the Hague or Nuremberg.

2. can't really say how it's not, but according to Chomsky
the US is the largest state sponsor of terror in the world, and they he goes about proving that very convincingly.

I would have to concur.
