OF THE
TIMES
court decisions aggressively broadened the coverage of the law, both in defining who was a [terrorist] and who was [one of "us"], and in describing the circumstances that would violate the lawWe look back to the 1940s and we wonder in horror how the Nazis were able to create such a repressive, inhumane and utterly insane system and cause all the destruction and deaths that they did for so long! But someone looking from the future back to our world today, would wonder with the same exact horror, provided that s/he has any conscience.
Joaquín 'Chapo' Guzmán: the Mexican drug lord adept at playing the systemFlashback: 'El Chapo', world's most powerful drug lord, nearly caught by Mexican authorities after close brush with Hilary Clinton and 'dozens of other foreign ministers'

Sinaloa Cartel, led by Mexican drugs kingpin (and probable U.S. govt agent) Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, accounts for 80% of massive U.S. meth tradeFlashback: Largest cocaine smuggler in the U.S. revealed: The DEA
It should be noted that there are allegations that Guzmán, who was on the Forbes' list of billionaires from 2009 to 2012,works with the U.S. government.
In court documents, a high-ranking member of Sinaloa currently in U.S. custody asserted that Guzmán is a U.S. informant, Sinaloa was "given carte blanche to continue to smuggle tons of illicit drugs into Chicago," and Operation Fast and Furious was part of an agreement to finance and arm the cartel in exchange for information used to take down its rivals.
The claims were corroborated by a Mexican foreign service officer who doubled as a confidential source for the U.S. security firm Stratfor when he alleged that the U.S. government works with Mexican cartels to traffic drugs into the U.S., and that in 2010 the U.S. sided with Sinaloa in an attempt to limit the violence in Mexico.
Comment: Err... did you see any tears, sign of remorse or genuine emotion coming from Bush in the video above?
Neither did we. No wonder, since psychopaths are incapable of any of that. Instead, we did catch a couple of those smirks which are Dubya's trademark, which give an air of mockery to his latest charade and reveal how he really feels about the suffering he has caused.
