I am deeply disturbed.
We’re SELLING the destruction of human rights now?
Waaait. I forgot, we pay people to do that in a joyful manner(*cough* mercenaries *cough*), it’s not that big of a step, really, I guess. But somehow it’s even more sickening to me.

Evening aardvark you seem to know alot about prisons is that where you got your education ? Let me help with that. On the subject of terrorism :
1953 CIA overthrows mossadeq in Iran in order to help BP continue to control the oil there.
1954 CIA overthrows the democratically elected government of Arbenz in Guatemala 200 000 killed.
1963 CIA assassinates pres. Diem of south Vietnam 4 million die over the next 12 years at the hands of the US military.
1973 CIA overthrows the democratically elected government of Chile 30 000 die 250 000 tortured in concentration camps.
1977 CIA backs military government in El Salvador , 70 000 die including 4 American nuns and Arch bishop Romero.
1980’s CIA Trains Osama Bin Laden contributes 3 billion to his insurgency.
1981 CIA and the Reagan government back the contra’s and death squads in Nicaragua ,30 000 die.
1982 billions to saddam hussein in Iraq in order that he attacks Iran, 1 million die.
1983 US gives Iran weapons to kill Iranians.
1989 Manuel Noriega , a CIA agent and president of Panama disobeys Washington , US invades 3000 die.
This is just a small sample but as Glenn beck that paradigm of virtue said on CNN we do have a reputation of ” being in bed with brutal dictatorships like the people in Saudi Arabia.

Dad-burn-it TP, my comment has been awaiting moderation for so long it could compete with McOldtimer when it comes to gathering cobwebs.

Yeah right pluege. Cutting off the heads of innocent citizens, like your hero’s in Al Queda, is not callous or perverse at all. But selling gear is.

Al-Qa’ida is a terrorist organization that uses murder and torture and propaganda to promote their misguided causes. I don’t pay taxes to al-Qa’ida. I don’t vote for the leadership of al-Qa’ida. I don’t have any say whatsoever in what al-Qa’ida or its members do.

The United States, on the other hand, is the military and economic leader of the free world, whose founding documents are still viewed around the world as beacons for democratic governance and the rule of law. I pay taxes to my country, and vote for its leaders (I assume), and I (presumably) have a say in what my country does.

I expect my country to behave a bit better than al-Qa’ida. I really don’t think it’s too much to ask for my country not to torture, not to murder innocent people, and not to crassly promote either of these with GTMO t-shirts.

Daryll Says:

This is not torture. This is a disciplinary action for lying to our government

Using that logic we get to send Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Powell, Rice, etc. etc. etc. to Gitmo ?

BTW – about post 87. Yes my sarcasm is over the top to compare Gitmo to the Holocost. Yes the scale of the Nazi death camps (for Jews and also other “undesirables”) is many magnitudes of scale bigger.

But the crassness of clothing celebrating them is extremely callous in both cases.

pmavrk…..pm avrk….
Can I call evening ardvark ?
1 million dead Iraqi’s and ALL their relatives and 4 million refugeed trying to survive in neighboring countries in the Mid East tell me your outrage is a joke.
How many dead and wounded will make you feel safe again ?
Yes it was a terrible crime but I’m thinking that millions dead and displaced in a country that had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with our 911 ( as opposed to the one we inflicted with 10 times the casualties on Chile in 1973 )is a several times GREATER crime.

I’m thinking there is a special place in hell reserved for Daryll and his ilk. He will be very happy there, he can consort with Dick and George for all eternity.

So, how many people here think that Daryll is going to be allowed any where near heaven (if it exists). I’m thinking NOT.

that is unspeakably perverse. Scary that there are Americans so callous and obtuse to think of such a thing or to purchase anything.
