As we learn more about who were the "guys behind the front men" part of all this it should prove interesting to see how they justify this steep abuse of set law and due process and this steep police "terror and intimidation" styled conduct.
For as many years as Americans have been in Iraq since March 2003 there have surely been several hundred,several thousand similar events taking place in Baghdad,other large and small Iraqi cities,villages and hamlets by American troops against Iraqi civilians.
American sponsored terror in Iraq is a daily component of Americans being in Iraq. One can extrapolate that if Iraqis are seeing what we are seeing now in the Twin Cities with these "raids" happen to hundreds of Iraqis week in and week out how it must seem quite unlikely for many Iraqis to think or believe Americans are in Iraq to "help Iraqis discover democracy".
Hardly a wonder Maliki is throwing wrenches into American desires to be in Iraq for a long time and be able to roam Iraq without facing any consequences for bad,wicked or just damn evil conduct.
Are there any Blackwater people in Twin Cities?
Seems lots of "national security money" is sloshing around and there must be plenty spilling out here and there. Outfits like Blackwater follow this kind of easy to pocket "security" funding readily.
Whatever Hell On Earth Americans have been raising up in Iraq we may well see more of it drifting back here.
So who was the judge who greenlighted any of this? Who knew what was going to happen,when it would happen and where was there any public governance review record and paper trail put in place?
If one month from now there still is no public disclosure of who put this in place and did the plan outs and gave the greenlights it will surely show how far things have tumbled regarding who can act like this and suffer no consequences for doing so.
Finally--Nancy and Harry and Steny and Rahm and Pat and Chuck and Charlie and Henry and Barack and Joe--have anything to say? You all perform the function of the "opposition" to this kind of conduct do you not?
Well...do you not?
