Unless you think they were forged, there is no dispute. All those issues received threads here and I posted in them. Where were you?

"don't think the US is guilty until proven innocent, either." - haha who is going to take the US to court, the ICC? And what army will play the role of the executive? The US will skirt justice until it no longer has the strongest military in the world, just like every other superpower in history. Unless it's own citizens stand up and demand justice. We can only hope.
