    It was also written about something that happened so long ago liberals will go “ok, yeah, but that was back then.”

    if you talk about the CIA kidnapping torturing and murdering civilians and otherwise “not convicted of crimes” people they’ll usually just outright deny it. if you bring up Guantanamo or Abu Ghraib and the CIA and US military crimes committed you might get a mix of “ok that was 20 years ago” and still others “that’s unproven.”

    Btw I always gotta mention because the press totally buried this story and we never got much more juice due to the nature of it

    but Abu Ghraib was very obviously being used as a CIA torture site and then any resulting bodies of victims were easily “laundered” (or “ghosted” as the CIA called it) in with prisoner deaths and such. The media focused heavily on the sensational aspects such as the gross sexual acts comitted by the soldiers. Which was definitely worthy of covering, obviously.

    They mostly ignored or mentioned only in passing that one of the photos was of a dead body which had begun decompossing in the prison (his name was Manadel al-Jamadi). The body showed obvious signs of torture like cuts, burns, bruised face and was brought there, according to the soldiers, from like a hut or whatever that was outside of the prison but on the same grounds. It was a well known CIA post of sorts by the soldiers who had to remain distant from it. Many of them reported men being taken there and never coming back. And reported these bodies showing up in the piles of other bodies from prisoners dying from other causes.

    No one ever properly investigated the CIA for what is totally known to be at least one clear and obvious torture/murder with a ton of evidence from the photo to the journalist and soliders at the prison. A small amount of pressure and digging would’ve uncovered these tapes the CIA said it had of torture session and then claimed to have destroyed (I’m pressing X to doubt. that shit exists somewhere). But the media stopped pressuring when Obama was in and nothing came of it ultimately. The low level soliders got small sentences probably mostly for embarrassing tbe CIA not for any torture and crimes they comitted. Their entire job WAS to torture after all…

    fucking libs

      The fact it happens on Cuban land pisses me off the most. These coward fucks need to soothe their soulless husks at night so they illegally occupy someone’s land and legally become serial killers, so nothing bad is happening! Otherwise the courts would’ve demanded us to stop!
