OF THE
TIMES
"WAR is a racket. It always has been.The United States is dropping bombs faster than the military industrial complex can manufacture them. The spike in demand for weapons of war since the attacks in Paris have sent stock prices and arms sales through the roof.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives."

Comment: So it took 13 years - 13 years! - for the U.S. government to determine that Mustafa al-Aziz al-Shamiri was an innocent man, and not deserving of the imprisonment, degradation, and torture that this soul was subject to. Does anyone on God's good Earth still really think that Guantanamo was established to employ justice, or security? No. Its whole raison d'etre is to maintain the pretense of fighting a legitimate 'war on terror,' instilling terror on citizens (look what we can do to you with impunity!), and making the American people ultimately complicit in the barbarous acts of its government. Guantanamo Bay should not only be shut down, but everyone having anything to do with its dealings (post-911) should be tried and imprisoned for the crimes that have been perpetrated there -Including our legislative and executive branches or government. That would be real justice.
