Things the United States would *never* do (but already has).. |
|
Just thinking of a list of things we all know that the United States would simply never do (but in reality it already has).
1: Have troops kill innocent protesters. 2: Default on sovereign debt. 3: Purposely infect citizens with disease. 4: Give corporations more rights than humans.
I'll stop there. What would you add?

5. Torture... not only prisoners of war but our own prisoners in the U.S. (and I'm not talking about Manning).
6. Assassinate U.S. citizens.

7. Claim the right to assassinate foreign "threats" and even US citizens |
|
based on the president's (or whoever's) sole determination that they represent a national threat.
No charges, no jury, no habeus corpus -just a bullet in the head.
