The bullshit is entirely yours, as always with you. I was talking about what was
depicted in the photos, all of which is contrary to the Geneva Conventions,
but does not come under the rubric of torture. And what the hell has Stalin
got to do with this? I thought your dumb line was that the US is going
fascist, not communist.

You know, when I first came across your posts in Canopus, I commented that
you just had to be a teenager. But no, I was assured that you were an
adult. I still
doubt that. You show no signs of maturity that I can discern. In fact, you sound
as clueless as some of the US far-right types. You and they would make a
good match if your anti-Americanism didn't stand in the way.
