A Paragon Of What Being A Savage Barbarian Is All About


That's right:

Bush should have executed Gitmo detainees, says former CIA officer

A former CIA officer has said its ridiculous that the Bush administration didn't execute numerous prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, regardless of whether they have had a trial, when it had the chance.

"Many of those individuals that are there are enemy combatants and that's based on the Geneva Conventions and should be executed," said Gary Berntsen, who spent 20 years with the CIA, to Fox's Gretchen Carlson on the show, Fox & Friends. "It's ridiculous that the Bush administration, after seven years, didn't deal with many of those that we know are enemy combatants."
Yes, indeed - who needs fucking due process, legal representation and, worst of all, trials (like this one, as a more recent example)? Just hang/shoot/fry/put down any motherfucking person we accuse of anything and be done with this human/civil rights crap already!

Here's an idea: let us go back to the good old days when Triple Axis commanders would simply shoot Allied prisoners and dispense with such quaint formalities.

More putrid, nauseating and sickening ignorance-based, uncivilized, savage, primitive mind-thinking claptrap (as served above by Mr. Berntsen) I have rarely heard ... if ever.

Then again - the first decade of the 21st century is not yet done.

Yup - we still have a long way to go ... a very long way to go.

  1. Just remember, the start of the 20th Century was pretty bleak - especially if you factor in the war to end all wars.

    It really does feel like we have rolled back over 50 years of progress in terms of the mindsets of too many people, especially politicians and their minions, and are heading towards more war, less civil right protections, more poverty and extreme wealth, less reliance on the state to deliver basics like education, medicine, social assistance and maybe even water.

    Hopefully for those who have children and grandchildren these trends are just a short-term aberration.

  2. That still remains the hope, isn't it?

    Time will tell ...
