Re: Pot calling the Kettle
I am glad that the issue has been rasied at the United Nations. I believe the actions of the US govenment and CIA (assuming these reports are accurate)are disgraceful. The American's have no such right to carry out these actions whether the people they catch are terrorists or not. Not only under such circumstances could they not possibly have a fair trial but the implication of this is that one would not be needed.
America is not an Empire nor will it ever be one no matter how much they like tho think that they are.
As for Germany making these complaints what has their past got to do with anything? It was a long time ago and things have changed considerably since then. In any case, I was under the impression that the main reason for the last war was to fight for our freedom so that the european nations could be free to govern themselves as free democratic soverign nations. Surely the actions of the americans are no worse than those carried out under the Nazis!
As far as British and American actions are concerned then over the last few years they have acted equally as disgracefully as any despotic regeme they have removed.
If it does turn out to be the case then those responsible in America for these crimes should be brought to book just as anyone else would be under such circumstances.
If there are terrorists operating in Europe then it is to be done under the duristiction and law of the partiuclar host country concerned and not a despotic American organisation who by doing what they do act themselves as terrorists!
