President Bush blames “a few bad apples” for Abu-Ghraib.

In 20 YEARS of searching I have never found ONE case of a CIA officer being prosecuted for crimes while on duty. They are untouchable.

Everyone is aware of the Indian Genocide. Adolf Hitler studied the American genocide on how to deal with Jews.

It took me 42 years to find an instance of any ONE person who opposed the Indian Genocide, they were the Quakers. Remember before? The Quakers are the same group that ended slavery in Britain.

But a couple of years later, America created their own concentration camp in the Philippines.

There were orders for soldiers to kill everyone over 10 years old.

Here is a cartoon about this incident.

Now, the newspapers back home had a field day.

A congressional committee was formed

With Imperialist and Anti-Imperialists.

There was testimonies about the mass murders.

It was a public relations nightmare.
