Most Americans are OK with Torture of those Terrorists.

Busholini can say "We don't torture". It's with a wink & most Americans are not outraged by it. Most would never admit that publicly but there is no surprise or outrage about it.

I am disgusted by it as are most on DU but do we see any outrage of most Americans to it?

I haven't seen it.

6. I don't think Americans have forgotten. I honestly don't think they care.

Xenophobia rules here.

As long as it's foreigners (preferably Arabs or at least brown skinned people) getting fucked, a HUGE segment of the American people are going to be just fine with it.

Sad, but true.

3. Correct, and just one more in dozens of datapoints that show clearly

the Imperial Subjects of Amerika are nothing like the people who heled defeat Hitler.

In fact, the simple truth you point out also clearly points to the fact that we are at least as like or more like, mentally, gullibility-wise, lack of conscience for strangers, lack of empathy, shortsightedness, and obedience to authority, to the Germans who yielded to Hitler than we are like the Free Americans who helped defeat him.

4. Yes...

I am for Bush and Cheney being Tortured.

5. Wrong question. Most of the people America tortures are not terrorists.

At least they weren't when we started torturing them..

7. Most Americans aren't intelligent or should I say, informed.

The so called terrorists can be an innocent person number 1 (since there is no trial, legal representation etc. and over 50 % of detainees at Guantanamo aren't connected with acts against the US or to a terrorist organization). But the sheeple have been fed the ticking time bomb scenario and propaganda all muslims are terrorists. I know many chastise comparisons to Hitler's Germany but the American people right now remind me so very much of my study of Germany in the 30's and the apparent cluelessness of their people. Once you accept barbarism you become barbaric and will be known as barbaric. That's where we are right now.

8. Amerika is where Germany was in 1936.

Most of the Dems are complict with the Busholini Fascist Regime, as is most of the US Corp Media, the MIC and the Multi-Corps.
