The War on (some) Terrorism

Ah the joys of American justice! just like the war on some drugs that incarcerates millions of people and destroys uncounted lives every year to protect us from the dangers of addiction, even as the pharmaceuticals sell billions of dollars worth of addictive drugs every year; the war on terrorism now officially needs to be renamed the war on some terrorism.

Yeah I know, the United States government is the biggest sponsor of terrorism on the planet, but most of that is done under the cover of the CIA and NSA and other organizations designed to act “outside” of the law. I guess the judicial branch must have felt left out though, U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans has freed Luis Posada Carriles, an admitted terrorist who “has boasted of helping set off deadly bombs in Havana hotels 10 years ago and the alleged mastermind of a 1976 bombing of a Cuban airplane that killed 73 people” (quoted from the LA times article linked to above). Why have they let this mass-murdering son of a bitch go? Because his victims were Cubans, victims of Fidel Castro’s brutal Marxist regime, and thus their lives are considered expendable by American imperialists intent on replacing Castro’s tyranny with their own.

The hypocrisy is staggering. I just wish it was the exception and not the rule.
