Awesome article, thanks.
I do expect some die-hard US government cheeleaders will doubt what he says, even though he's an undeniably solid source. If anyone without such good credibility said the sanme things, they'd have been called an anti-American liar.

I never trusted the US government.I knew the CIA was responsible for millions of deaths during the cold war.I lived overseas (for 17+ years)so got to see,hear and read opinions that the US media and goverment do their best to hide.
Remmember when Black people used to say the government was responsible for some of the drugs in their community, to destroy the black community.There were all these closet racists who poo pooed the idea until a CIA Whistle blower revelaed how the CIA/folks on thier payroll did bring drugs into California Black communities.I remmber this was when John Deutsch was CIA head.He had to make a trip to South Central (i think) to explain this to Black community leaders.
US support for dictators/butchers and death squads is the norm not the exception and people outside the US have know this for decades. The fascists in this country think they can make people believe (by endless repetiton) that the US supports demorcrasy and freedom.
PS TO EVERYONE
How do you think a nation becomes all powerfull, do you think this is achieved by being just/fair and respecting human rights.The same applies to religon, there is a reason some religons are powerfull and it ain't cuz they were/are nice.
GREAT POST thread starter.
