James Yee and the Decadence of the American Empire

[RPGPundit]

If any of you seriously believe the bullshit the U.S. government is pushing that their war is not a war on Islam, and that Guantanamo is not a concentration camp, and that everyone who is in there deserves to be there, you need to read this:

Its one of the most shocking things I've read in a long time, especially since I remember it made the international news when Mr. Yee was arrested, the government declared it had caught an al-qaeda guy posing as a muslim army chaplain in guantanamo, and how he would face the death penalty for his crimes.
 
And then it turned out that the charges were entirely concocted by the Christian officers in the Guantanamo concentration camp who hated him because he was a muslim, and because he had pleaded the prisoner's cases against the torture and humliation they were facing.
 
And everyone knew the charges were a lie. They must have, everyone right up to the top. But they put them out there, on fox news, they destroyed this guy's life, his marriage, everything... was it because they were afraid he'd go public, and reveal what was going on in GitMo?  Is that a good enough reason, in the Bush administration's perverted brains, to try to frame someone with a death penalty treason charge?
 
The Bush administration has done so many things that would qualify as war crimes, the whole american system has shown itself in the last five years to be so utterly rotted and twisted to the very core, but this story just hit it home to me, that maybe the whole thing has reached the point of no return.
 
When you can start making up completely non-existent charges with death sentences on people you just don't like, you're entering Caligula & Nero country there.  Bush has already banjoed while Louisiana sank, now he would just have to make his horse a senator to really complete the whole "decadent empire on the verge of catastrophe thing", if only he wasn't deathly afraid of horses (true fact).
 
I doubt the world can count on the praetorian guard to step in this time though, and take Bush out to save civilization; that might be up to the people.
 
Bush is finally unpopular enough that if the opposition manages to mobilize, if the democrats' testicles descend, etc. there could be a shift in the congress in 2006.  That could lead to all kinds of investigations, like the one that the current republican congress has refused to do about James Yee's case, that could start taking all of these motherfuckers out one by one like dominos. All it takes is the will, the popular outrage, to get this gang of thieves out and restore sanity to the Republic.
 
For fuck's sake, America, remember yourself: Sic Semper Tyranis!
