Guantánamo Diary: ‘Torture squad so well trained that they were performing almost perfect crimes'

[gratuitous]

1. Oh well, all in the past

No sense looking backwards to the past, we have to look forward to the future. Besides, it's those radicals that are the real barbarians, what with the decapitations and such-like. Our faultless, star-spangled boys have the compassion to destroy the tapes, right Mr. Rodriguez? As the exceptionally exceptional United States of Under God America, we're above reproach or questioning, and none of our victims or their survivors are going to be able to get back directly at the people responsible for the torture anyway.

Which means that any righteous retribution will be visited on people who may even have protested against torturing our captives. Real nice of you dirty fucking hippies to take it for our team of benevolent overlords like that. "Due process" are just ancient words.
