Justice in Obamaland-- Still Fucked Up
Depressing:
Hmmm... that kind of sounds familiar...
April 24, 2009 Washington, D.C. – In a suit brought by British men imprisoned for two years at Guantanamo, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals today reaffirmed its previous ruling that Guantanamo detainees lack the fundamental constitutional right not to be tortured and are not “persons” under a U.S. statute protecting religious freedom.Yes, terrorists are ANIMALS, and have no rights.
(snip)
In its first filing on detention and torture under the Obama administration, the Department of Justice filed briefs in March urging the Court of Appeals to reject any constitutional or statutory rights for detainees. The Obama Justice Department further argued that even if such rights were recognized, the Court should rule that the previous administration’s officials who ordered and approved torture and abuse of the plaintiffs should be immune from liability for their actions.

The power writes history. Today, if written, the whole of the system is bound by the official version, including the historians. (Thus, the unrelenting power and pervasive, popular 4th grade version of US history.)
As long as Stalin lived, the positive outcome (notwithstanding the deaths of 147,200 German soldiers and 46,700 Russian, not counting the 91,000 German prisoners, 5000 of which survived) of Stalingrad were attributed to him.
After his death, the credit moved to Chruschtchow (and the different way he sprinkled the credits), one of the two principal bureaucrats in Stalingrad.
He went out of power, and thus it finally went to the true hero, general Schukov, and he was able to write his own memoirs. This was 20 years, 1965, and contradicted, in ways, that formerly produced by general Tschuikov.
