Toronto thugs break man's ribs for filming them

vendredi 31 mai 2013 à 14:00

Thugs in Toronto broke a man's ribs and arrested him because he filmed their excessive violence against someone else.

It is clear that their accusations, at the time, were dishonest and meant solely to intimidate someone from exercising his civic rights and duties.

It's not enough for the city to compensate their victim. These thugs need to be jailed.

Hammond pleads guilty to extracting Stratfor's files

jeudi 30 mai 2013 à 14:00

Jeremy Hammond pled guilty to extracting Stratfor's files for publication, but courageously refused to apologize for trying to inform the people.

Stratfor, which was one of Hammond's targets is more dangerous to Americans than Hammond. It is part of the tendency for the US government to work secretly with corporations against Americans, which also shows up in other forms.

However, I do not approve of using people's credit cards that were obtained from Stratfor.

UK holds around 90 prisoners in Afghanistan

jeudi 30 mai 2013 à 14:00

The UK holds around 90 prisoners in Afghanistan, and won't hand them over to the Afghan government for fear they might be tortured.

Combatants captured in a war zone can legitimately be treated as prisoners of war, which means they don't have to be accused of a crime, and are also not supposed to be punished, let alone tortured. However, I'm not sure what international law says about people captured and called combatants who say they were not involved in fighting.

I don't see a right answer to this issue.
