“Freedom is almost perfected…
Just a few more laws, regulations & cages”
My Commentary: Good. I was starting to worry that America was becoming a fascist police state.

“War on Terror (Freeze or I’ll shoot!)
– Invade poor countries to get terrorists
– Destroy homes, confiscate property and jail families of terror suspects
– Accidentally kill & imprison thousands of innocent people
– Ignore underlying causes of terror
– Waste billions of dollars
– Experience failure

John Yoo, the UC Berkeley law professor who penned legal memos that provided cover for President George W. Bush’s torture program, can’t be sued by one of the victims of that program, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said Jose Padilla, an American citizen arrested in 2002 and declared an “enemy combatant,” may not hold professor John Yoo liable for “gross physical and psychological abuse” that Padilla said he suffered during more than three years of military detention, according to the Los Angeles Times.
My Commentary: American “Justice”…
The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “American Hubris…“…
Rayn: American Hubris…
“Legal. Illegal.”
Jordan K.: They’re both legal for the government and both illegal for us
Rayn: The first one is legal for the government to do, according to them. The second one is illegal for us to do, according to them…
