Last night as I was watching the late night/early morning news I learned that wikileaks had released content on Guantanamo Bay detention center, to which official spokespeople downplay the occurrence trying to convince people that the reports of torture were just speculation or untrue allegations (or some crap). However one of the inmates that made claims about torture sees this release as evidence...an inmate who was released.
Detention facilities in Australia aren't any better, one of ours was pretty much totally destroyed by residents after claims they were abused by Federal Police. The matter of illegal immigrants/refugees is a touchy political issue in Australia with the two major parties holding different stances on how to deal with it. Whatever the policy is now, it isn't working.
Also in the news was the escape of prisoners in Afghanistan...where smug U.S officials say the area is corrupt.
But wait...weren't wikileak cables that caused a massive stir last year just "things everybody already knew" like tension between the USA and Russia?
Why aren't these spokespeople treated like Julian Assange when they say things in front of cameras like areas in Afghanistan are corrupt?
Corruption runs deep.

ReplyDeleteI dont know why justice does not work. It's probably the same reason why evil dictators don't have their car blow a tire and run then off a cliff like what happens to normal people. Random accidental death never happens to those who need it most.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jeremy. Corruptions does run deep. We can't trust government. Guantanamo Bay sickens me to my very core.
ReplyDeleteAlso. That picture is so true, it makes me sadface =[
if you understood everything you would either be on your way to prison or working for a company that pays you enough to not talk.ever.
ReplyDeletebecause America loves the status quo, and wikileaks is anything but
ReplyDeleteFunny how the world works right?

It's pretty bad how all these things are happening all around the world and most of what you hear on the news are sometimes really very accurate. It's just unfortunate that we can't know more because of the suppression of news.
ReplyDeleteBecause governments are corrupt.
