(62,325 posts)We have broken so many International laws, something Democrats USED to acknowledge that we are lucky if we have any International friends left.
Anyone who cares about this country wanted War Criminals and Wall St criminals investigated and prosecuted. That USED to be a big issue for Democrats. When did it stop being important to hold elected officials accountable for CRIMES. Torture, lies that got thousands of US Troops killed and untold numbers dead from suicide, more maimed for life and that isn't even touching the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis, Afghans and everywhere else where we appear to think we OWN those countries.
Well some people may have decided to move forward from all the atrocities committed in our name, but some of us never will, never will forget the dead children, the tortured innocents.
So Manning and Snowden and a handful of other courageous whistle blowers tried to do what Congress SHOULD have done, expose the corruption, the destruction of this country by criminals, and yes they ARE criminals, and it is THEY who end up in jail.
Not this hasn't happened before in history. And when it happens somewhere else we jump to the defense of THEIR Whistle Blowers.
I've never seen anything like the hypocrisy I've witnessed over the past number of years.
