Them (It's All About Them)
War crimes for Osama's driver? What did he do, run a red light in a war zone? It is past Orwellian to see a chauffeur who himself is a victim of torture being tried for war crimes. I feel there probably are cases for war crime prosecutions against the actual people planning and carrying out the attacks, and certainly against our own president, vice president, attorney general, and secdef to name a few for killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and thousands more Americans. However, I can't in my wildest imaginings consider prosecuting a pilot for Air Force One for war crimes for ferrying around our all-american mass murderers, yet we are doing just that.
After six or seven years of illegal detainment and interrogation the first and best show-case in dubya's kangaroo court is a driver for the guy we had the Brits let go? (Referring to when they had Osama located and surrounded and we told them to hold off until we could get our guys there for the photo op.)
What do we as a population do to show our mettle and good old American values? America, now considers the domestic economy to be a bigger issue than this war. Is it any wonder we're mostly mocked by the rest of the world which once mostly admired us?
