Sympathy for Charles Graner

No one from the Bush administration has been held accountable for torture. But the guard from Abu Ghraib prison is still behind bars, and his family wants to know why.

    German indifference

    When I see the often broadcast shows about the rise of German Nazis I NEVER feel sorry for the old delusional people who say they didn't know what was happening or they couldn't speak. BULLSHIT! They knew and they had many opportunities to speak. The German people failed the world in the 30's just as the US failed the world after 9/11.

    I still hear people connecting Saddam/Iraq with 9/11, that's their delusional justification for all the death and suffering the US has caused in a country that was no threat to us whatsoever. Remember the Sudatenland? Hitler went in to help the people, just like we did in Iraq. When Republicans talk about liberal appeasers it makes me laugh/cry. They're actually referring to all the countries that gave Bush tacit and not so tacit support as he embarked on his blitzkrieg (a.k.a. shock and awe).

    The torturer soldier gets no sympathy from me, it just makes me want to see Bush in the Hague even more.
