A Very Good Point

Posted on by Iansã

The excellent and inspiring J says:

The Israel-Hamas War continues. . . .  The United States is uniquely placed to bring it to a cease-fire. We all know this. If you have not contacted your Senator(s), Congresspeople and the President-Elect and Vice President-Elect, demanding that they do so, please do so now.

While you’re politely but firmly demanding they push for a cease-fire, please also let them know that all of the people who engaged in warrantless spying on Americans, who organized and authorized torture, extraordinary renditions, and secret prisons, and who kept Guantánamo in business deserve to be brought before a Truth and Reconciliation Commission at the very least, and prosecuted for War Crimes at best. They really should hear this as often as they can. As should our new president, Barack Obama, who appears poised to go the Clintonian route and sweep all the prior crimes under the rug in an effort to “move forward.”

Axé.

  1. We need a full accounting if we are to go forward.
    I was encouraged to hear from some dinner guests we had tonight that they share our views on the Bush years. They voted for him in good faith and have suffered a lot personally because of his policies. Only outer wingnuttia is defending the Bush agenda any more.
    Prof. Z: Got the postcard. It’s very pretty. Yes, we ought to try to meet up in S.F. some time.
