Sure you are. Or is your English that poor that what you wrote and what you intended are so different? "The fact that similar atrocities* have happened around the world BEFORE does not make it OK for YOU to do it."* Emphasis added. Exactly what "current atrocities" are you alleging that are "similar" to the various genuine atrocities over Europe's history?

Gen. Richard B. MEYERS: "We've had 68,000 detainees since this conflict against violent extremism started. We've had 325 investigations into alleged abuse. We've had 100 cases of substantiated abuse and there are 100 individuals that have had some sort of action taken, either court-martial or administrative action."..... * This article .... provides further details about the detainees who died while in U.S. custody. Among the deaths listed:** - 29 were attributed to natural causes or accidents; - 18 were deemed "justified homicide" or "suspected justified homicide;” - only 23 were being "investigated as involving criminal homicide or abuse by U.S. personnel." Among those 23, just 3 were explicitly attributed to murder, with the rest still under investigation or involving lesser charges such as derilection of duty, maltreatment, and involuntary manslaughter. (By the way, the U.S. Army, Navy, and other government agencies were able to provide this information to the ACLU because, unlike the ACLU, ahem, they did not shred these sensitive records.) It is possible that additional U.S. military personnel have been charged with murder since the AP article was published, but 3 is a long, long way from "almost 100." washingtontimes.com Message 21385026 michellemalkin.com Message 21396399
