OK, here's a start: I think it's interesting and appalling how the knee-jerk reaction of the majority here is to immediately rise to the defense of a mass murderer like this guy.sqook wrote:Let the "two minutes hate" begin!buzzcock wrote:pilcrow wrote:yeah, no doubt. Poor fella!
Yeah, I feel REAL bad for this scumbag...
The most obvious factor is that countries like Germany and Denmark and the UK [where I am] lie outside the US patrio-fascist propaganda bubble and so we enjoy a rather different perspective on world events to you.pilcrow wrote:

Look, I'm all for prosecuting the 9/11 conspirators as much as the next guy, but I think it goes without saying that the US government's credibility when it comes to catching terrorists should be taken with a healthy grain of salt. Or two. The fact that this is coming out of guantanamo bay is equally questionable, because the US justice system essentially doesn't exist there, and the mentality of "guilty because we said so" rather than "innocent until proven guilty" can prevail.pilcrow wrote:OK, here's a start: I think it's interesting and appalling how the knee-jerk reaction of the majority here is to immediately rise to the defense of a mass murderer like this guy.sqook wrote:Let the "two minutes hate" begin!buzzcock wrote:

Your really under a fanatical spell if you truly believe that horse shit. As if Americans dont get the BBC, International News, World News etc here. As if americas information via Tv/Internet is controlled like cuba/china in a "fasicst propaganda bubble"... I mean seriously. lol
