Dick Cheney<\/a><\/strong> is offendend <\/a><\/strong>by Amnesty’s description of Guantanamo Bay<\/a><\/strong> as the “American Gulag”. It would have been so much more humane to have been offended by the torture<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Stuffing his foot further down his mouth he said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“I think the fact of the matter is, the United States has done more to advance the cause of freedom, has liberated more people from tyranny over the course of the 20th century and up to the present day than any other nation in the history of the world,”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Vietnam, Cambodia, Latin America, Chile, Haiti, Phillipines, Namibia, the list probably will ecombass two thirds of globe. Countries that have been raped, ruined and ground underfoot by the great American juggernaut. People have disappeared – tortured and then killed. American Benevolence has cost the people of the world dearly.<\/p>\n

Ofcourse his last quote is the funniest. He says that the insurgency is dying down. This is ofcourse on the same day that the Chief of Police in Basra ..<\/p>\n

admitted … that he had effectively lost control of three-quarters of his officers and that sectarian militias had infiltrated the force and were using their posts to assassinate opponents.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Good god! insurgency is replaced by mayhem. I guess that this is the US Government’s definition of progress!
