And never to be discussed within these borders
The British pay out millions in compensation for torture and wrongful imprisonment…meanwhile in this country there are crickets and dancing C-List celebrities to deal with.
Got Liability…heh heh, I’ve got immunity … George Bush in more life-like wax by Cliff1066 at flickr.com
While we see the wars go on forever…and my how it is truly appreciated, let us not forget some of it’s greatest sins.
Former detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp are in line for government compensation totalling in the millions of pounds.
About a dozen former prisoners, including Binyam Mohamed, will be granted the out-of-court settlement.
They had alleged that British security forces were complicit in their torture before they arrived at Guantanamo.
But that sort of thing is available only for other “less awesome” and “less perfect” countries, like those with socialized medicine. Not for the U.S. of A. Hell, our press will not even talk about this. Instead they’ll rely upon this bigot as “the great truth teller”.
