Ärende: ACORN EXPOSED AGAIN+AGAIN
=================================
Replying to a message of JOHN FITZGERALD to DAN CEPPA:

 JF>>   Then that is a bad reflection on "W's military".  How ever,
 JF>>   if there was a long string of 'Lyndie's' doing the same thing,
 JF>>   over and over and over,  ACORN style, that would be a MUCH GREATER   
 JF>> indictment on the military. 

 DC>>   Unlike W's, Acorn's people didn't torture anyone.  

 JF>> That's what your defense of ACORN has come down to?
 JF>> 'ACORN didn't torture anyone'??   

 JF> -> It's your analogy.  deal with its logical conclusion. 

 JF>   All that's been concluded here is that you are ignoring ACORN's long 
 JF> history of corruption and have been reduced to these pointless 
 JF> distractions in your attempted defense of this mob of rabble.


 DC>>   the fact is is that Bush and co. are guilty of war crimes.  

 JF>   What crimes were that?  You forgot to say.

We can start with the bombing of telephone exchanges - which acts started 
several *months* before the actual invasion started.  Bombing a country one is
not at war with is a crime.  In point of fact there was never a declaration of
war against Iraq.

The deliberate bombing of electrical generating plants and distribution
systems,
and the deliberate destruction of water purification plants and distribution
systems are all war crimes.  Note that Bush minor's regime was crowing about
how the US had rebuilt those plants and distribution systems but managed to
never mention tha the US had destroyed them in the first place.  Then there was
the deliberate attack on the un-embedded journalists who were staying in a
Baghdad hotel, the presence of those journalists in that building was public
knowledge and AFAIK no other hotel in Baghdad was attacked.  Deliberately
attacking civilians is a war crime.

Note that when the debacle at Abu Ghraib became public knowledge Rummy
was not upset that it happened, he was upset because it was found out
("... everybody over there has a digital camera ...").

Remember Bush minor's advice to the Iraqis on the eve of his invasion:
"Do not blow up the oil fields."
