    Hi Mikes,

    You seem quite fixated on what various criminals have done to some American citizens. Terrible crimes indeed, but what do they have to do with the US government torturing people? Are you saying that the US government is allowed to commit any crime that anyone else, anywhere, has done?

    Perhaps you think that the people the US government tortures are the same people who behead Americans. Hint: in most cases, they aren't. And even if they were, torturing and murdering them would still be an atrocity and a crime, if the words "American justice" retain any meaning at all.
