American Traitors in the CIA unpunished.

[Brakeman]

American Traitors in the CIA were and continue to be unpunished. Skipping over Bush/Cheney/ and Swartzkok's obvious lies, the backers of "operation Northwoods" conspired to kill Americans en masse, and only Kennedy brought a stop to it?
Why don't we have these traitors in prison and their titles and honors stripped of them?

The operation proposed creating public support for a war against Cuba by blaming it for terrorist acts that would actually be perpetrated by the US Government (so called "false flag operations").[3]

It's an urban myth that the US has a better humanitarian conduct than other countries. Throughout the 40ies, 50ies and 60ies there have been despicable experiments on unwitting citizens, sometimes with the active help of Nazi and Japanese war criminals, but in any case using research notes from concentration camps. So the above isn't the only incident and not the most outrageeous of all.

It must be nice to be young and still believe.

So very, very nice. A time when you think cops are always the good guys, the government is of, by, and for the people instead of the rich, and our military spreads democracy and justice throughout the world. Although thta was also a time when I believed our country was founded on christian principles...

This is why most people become more cynical over time.

I wouldn't say US overall having better average humanitarian conduct than the likes of Soviet Union, Communist China, and various other left and right wing dictators is a myth.

What is a myth is the implication that the U.S. would never stoop to doing what it loudly proclaims to be utterly Unacceptable when done by others, or that those whom the U.S. appoint to be the point persons at times of moderate or severe crisis, real or perceived, would all be more averse to gross human right abuses than point persons of our ideological and political enemies just.

We love to pretend that we always wear the white hats, though.

It depends on the country, obviously. However there is hardly a country on the planet (if there is one) that is free of skeletons in it's ethical closet.

Actually I'm not prepared to skip over that.  Northwoods never happened but those republicunt cockscukers actually committed crimes.

Oh, Ok
Because other countries have had bad guys we should NOT write our district attorneys to push for judicial action, because ignoring the problem and inaction is always the best way to deal with injustice. Cops that break a man's neck are so much more worthy of our ire than a few trusted men of power that tried to control the people and the government by killing thousands in a terroristic attack.

All of these power usurpers and traitors should be brought to justice, and should be made to face a grand jury. No one should be above the law, not a cop, and not a CIA director, and not a vice president.
