History shows time and time again that one of evils greatest strengths is its ability to disguise itself as good, or at least a temporary necessity, until that last fatal moment when its revelation becomes clear, indisputable, and inescapable.

Yes Evil manifest and aligns itself with all kinds of partners besides our White House.




Aryan Nations National Director August Kreis writes (www.aryan-nations.org), "We as an organization will also endeavor to aid all those who subvert, disrupt and are (sic) malignant in nature to our enemies. Therefore I offer my most sincere best-wishes to those who wage holy Jihad against the infrastructure of the decadent, weak and Judaic-influenced societal infrastructure of the West. I send a message of thanks and well-wishes to the methods and works of groups on the Islamic front against the jew such as Al-Qaeda and Sheik Usama Bin Ladin, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and to all Jihadis worldwide who fight for the glory of the Khilafah and the downfall of the anti-life and anti-freedom System prevalent on this earth today.

Kreis continues by saying (sic), " I ask our Islamic fellow fighters against jewry to remember the co-operation between Mufti Haj Mohammad Amin al-Husseini and Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler during the last century and to remember that all that is of the past it is our duty to surpass!"

Being a prisoner 'IS" torture so therefore he is probably right about being tortured especially if he were held by known CIA agents. If someone were to fasten you down under a sharp blade that was 4 ft long 1 ft wide and 1/2 inch thick which was suspended by a rotten looking rope over your midsection and every little bit you would hear tiny snaps and noises from the rope, THAT would be torture!!!! Even though you didn't know that there was a very strong wire running through the middle of the rope where you couldn't see it and were in no danger of being 'vivisected' it would still be torture to you.. Torture comes in many forms, it is torture for me to watch people being blown up by stupid misguided acts of violence. Nobody cares if 'I' am tortured. So if you want me to feel that you have been wronged, then show me that you have not hurt someone else by direct action yourself or supplying aid and money to those that you knew would use it to hurt someone. Otherwise shut (expletive deleted) up about someone trying to stop other torture in the world. Those of you whom have been blown through windows with your entrails hanging out know what I am talking about. nuff said!!

I hope this is not true. You cant torture people and think its not going to catch up with you. Its the American people who will have to pay the price for such crimes. Not the government officials who actually committed the crimes. They will be hiding somewhere. I dont know if the Republican party will survive the Bush administration. Its hard to be patriotic with this tool in charge. If somebody assinated him i would be happy. Sad but true.

Then you need to pray for a change in Leadership in this nation. When you put forward a Fascist as your leader peace is something you will not see much of.

Mirror

My friends, sometimes the most difficult thing about fighting evil is realizing that it actually exists, and then unambiguously and forcefully calling it what it is.

History shows time and time again that one of evils greatest strengths is its ability to disguise itself as good, or at least a temporary necessity, until that last fatal moment when its revelation becomes clear, indisputable, and inescapable.

So today let us take a clear and unadulterated look into the mirror at ourselves.

Just six years ago we were one of the most respected and admired defenders of democracy and human rights in history. Respected not only by our friends, but even begrudgingly by most of our enemies. In fact, even the fantastic power of our military paled in comparison to the overwhelming might of our moral authority.

Today we are a nation that operates secret prisons occupied by anonymous inmates, illegally abducted and held indefinitely without charge or representation. We are guilty of torture. We are guilty of murder. We are guilty of preemptive war of conquest. We are guilty of the wholesale surveillance of our population, suppressing all hope of privacy and free dissent. And we are guilty of disgracing our nation through the abandonment of even our most basic precepts of morality.

If this is not evil, then nothing we have ever fought against is evil, and nothing we have ever fought for is good.

Re: "the CIA does not conduct or condone torture."

We know that this claim is false. We know that the CIA abducts people, takes them to secret prisons to be tortured- sometimes to death.

Our CIA is not only one of the largest terrorist networks of all time, torturing, murdering, and terrorizing people at their collective whim, but the above statement by this "unnamed intelligence official", is yet another example which seems to indicate that they are also bald-faced liars, with no sense of integrity.

Cowards+murderers torturers liars=CIA

Whether this man is telling the truth or not should not be you main concern as an American.

The idea that this administration has reduced our nation (The United States of America) to the level that stories like this seem credible.

That is where the tragedy lies.

Six years ago, no one on the planet, in any country, would have given this a second look.

I do not automatically discount this person's claims because he is from Iran. The current U.S. administration has zero credibility, so who knows what to believe as fact?

Those occasions when our government is caught being dishonest or breaking the law, they can take cover behind the "national interest" and "threat of terrorism" lines of defense.

Iranians are crazy-paranoid of the CIA, to the point that they even blame bad weather on the CIA. This guy could be just spouting off in the most inflammatory way he could think of.

CBS: 'An Iranian diplomat freed two months after being abducted in Iraq accused the CIA of torturing him during his detention, state television reported Saturday. The United States immediately denied any involvement in the Iranian's disappearance or release.'

-If it's not the USA's CIA, then who may it be? UK Scotland yard? Bond, James Bond007? or is it Israel's IDF $hinBeth/Mossad.

Trent Lott makes the comment a couple of years ago that the U.S. would have been better off if Strom Thurmond would have won the presidency back in the 40's and the CIA torturing people surprises Americans? Strom's main campaign theme was seperation of the races.

Most Christian and other religions would say that torture is wrong, but the "Christians" currently running our country are a "Praise the Lord" and burn crosses type Christians. CIA torture is standard operating procedure for this mafia administration running America.

And all this time I thought we were the civilized ones. They didn't use dogs, or urination, or sexual pyramids? Something is wrong here. Or could it just be the Bush administration?

Lets get all politicians, both American, Iranians etc...and relegious leaders as well, then put them in a room with two baseball bats and tell them only one meal will be served...then let us start all over again. The way I look at Bush lied, Iran has been lying, Iraq lied, Britian lied, Fidel Castro lies, Chavez lies, Mao lied, Ho Chi Minh lied, the Pope lied, the Muslim leaders lie, Bin Laden was born a liar, Regean lied, Clinton, oh my god he lied...you see the trend. All these people with power have gotten away with lying and nobody every catches them...newspaper reporters who are supposed to be bias take sides, Fox with the Republicans and CNN with the Democrats...This world is where it is because we as humans don't stop those who lie, we just re-elect them and blame the other side. God help us all.

After reading many comments on this and other sites dealing with politics and the war, I can only conclude that we are a nation of mean spirited, vengeful, non-democratic hot heads, as well as a nation of wise, theological adept, humane individuals.

What is bothersome is that the first group in gaining in numbers and ignorance of American values.
