Four Years Later, We've Missed the Reward and Don't Look So Good

The headlines aren't looking so good, of late, as in the last 4 years. The detainee in Guantanamo that has claimed credit for every American calamity and attack since the Reagan years is really believable, huh? Well, if we've got the mastermind in Gitmo, let's get our military troops home, as they are just fighting the "wanna be's." We've had "Numero Uno" detained at Gitmo, and according to my research, we've had him in custody since before the Iraq War began, or at least he was not captured in Iraq. Wow, so just one more confirmation that we've got no business in Iraq and never did. Then there is the AbuGhraib situation that left us looking less than "liberators." The solution presented by our Secretary of Defense was to forbid cameras in the Abu Ghraib prison. (No cameras certainly eliminates the evidence of abuse) As the world has watched America set up a puppet government in Iraq and Afghanistan and Palestine, the world wants to hold America in account and some Americans would like to hold the administration in account. America has politicized life and death, and attempted to take this perspective world wide, but much of the world doesn't seem terribly receptive and can we blame them? Now our President and the Attorney General are trying to make a democratic Congress appear unreasonable. Our President doesn't want confrontation!!!!!!!! Since when? The American people recognized the run away train of our administration and voted in some accountablility and there is now an administrative resistance. I know I'm not surprised. Our President has offered "answers" off the record, without oath and without transcript. So where is the transperency? We are living in captivity, calling it security and there are at last conservative report, 14 million illegal immigrants who are apparently the only ones living free in this country. So, here it is 2007 . . . what is better and who is safer?
If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and YHVH shall reward thee.
