Sensory Deprivation of Afghan POWs; Election Fraud Presidency

by Justice
More evidence of US war crimes is now being printed with photographs in the British press and by Associated Press as we remember the swearing in of election fraud George War Bush as "president" one year ago.
More evidence of US war crimes is now being printed with photographs in the British press and by Associated Press as we remember the swearing in of election fraud George War Bush as "president" one year ago.

The Associated Press article of 1/20/02 is at:
http://apnews.excite.com/article/20020120/D7H5GB982.html
Pertinent paragraph:
"The photographs, released by U.S. officials at the Guantanamo Naval Station on Cuba, showed some suspects wearing blacked-out goggles and earmuffs. Those kneeing and handcuffed also had coverings over their mouths and noses and mittens on their hands."

The British press article of 1/19/02, "Canada Urges Respect For Rights Of Guantanamo Detainees" is at: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_499319.html?menu=news.latestheadlines
This article has pictures of the prisoners of war at Guantanamo, on their knees on gravel, chained and wearing blacked out goggles and earmuffs with coverings over their mouths and noses and mittens on their hands. Remember it is over 80 degrees in Cuba; they don't need mittens. Sensory deprivation and kidnapping are war crimes and these prisoners are prisoners of war until an authorized tribunal defines them as something else. Thus, the US is guilty of war crimes. Keep in mind, the American hoodlums shown in both articles are paid for with our tax dollars as is the whole stinking concentration camp where the POWS are imprisoned.

Great Britain is making something of a stink about its nationals being mistreated, but clearly not enough. However, on this day, January 20, 2002, as the world remembers the swearing-in of election-fraud Bush as president one year ago, the world is now witnessing another example of the contempt for democracy by the United States. In fact, most of the world looks upon these actions as reminiscent of Nazi Germany, another country that had world conquest for oil and other resources in mind, a country that engineered pretexts for fascism at home and war abroad like the Reichstag Fire (in the USA, Sept. 11, 01) and "saving" the Germans in Czechoslavkia as a pretext for invasion, a country that had contempt for elections and the law just like the USA, a country ridden with racism which took the form of anti-Semitism as well as contempt for others who were not "pure Germans," a country that despised immigrants, and a country that treated building prisons and the war machine as top priorities. Nazi Germany, like the Bush administration, was first and foremost antilabor, and its first act was to smash the labor unions. George War Bush never hesitates to attack labor every chance he gets.
