MARCELL DAREUS POWER

The problem with water boarding or any form of torture is it does not line up with our supposed values of due process. Due process in the sense that the conflict or specific fight is over and that person or persons is captured. I think most people would feel uncomfortable if this is applied to domestic terrorists or “ supposed anti-state activity”, IE AMERICAN CITIZENS… this is not a slippery slope argument. Its totally within boundary to assume that the state will use such measures against any perceived threat to its power. Many question the murder of anwar al alaki and his son. All they ever did was give money to fringe jihadi groups and spout Islamic nonsense on you tube. This should frighten all of us or at least give some people pause. Now I don’t want to come across like there is no moral dilemma. The ticking time bomb is very much a real possibility and the threat is much harder to deal with when we are not talking about state action but rather cells all over the world independent of state hierarchy. So intell is very important. I think the main underlying problem is you have to weigh the moral dilemma of losing due process to foreign citizens and due process for american citizens vs. stopping a potential terrorist attack. I would argue that fearing the state is much more reasonable. I think this whole argument is a distraction in some sense and in reality obfuscates what the real problem is. The reason a vast majority of the arab/Islamic world hate us is not because of our way of life. That is just ridiculous. The reason they hate our government is because of what our foreign policy has been since the balfour declaration. From installing dictator after dicator, stealing resources, murdering literally millions, systematically supporting the torture and pure intimidation of innocent people, we have made our enemies. As Chomsky states, “ if you want to stop terrorism, then stop participating in it”… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq%E2%80%93United_States_relations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93United_States_relations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia%E2%80%93United_States_relations Support for Mubarak another dictator… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States%E2%80%93Yemen_relations This is just a very short list. What is so ironic is the right wing constantly warns against state power, yet is quick to defend its psychopathic traits overseas… or even not talk about domestic tyranny, ie the patriot act or ndaa etc.. the level of cognitive dissonance from corolla is mind-boggling.. If you isolate just one event during this time frame post balfour in 1917 I believe, the U.S. is responsible for over a million deaths when moving saddam against iran… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Iraq_War that’s right, the U.S. is responsible for over a million people being murdered. So when the right wing warns people about terrorism, please point the mirror at the U.S. government. Should sober people up real quick. I will side with due process against the state every time…
