[CanYoAssDigIt] Re: [Fiends] Scary, Disturbing, Terrifying

I fear the United States government.

Imagine the nightmare scenario of being a taxi driver with no
relationship to any terrorism or armed or unarmed resistance of any
kind, and being kidnapped, and beaten so severely that your legs were
turned to pulp, and then dying of your injuries.

An Afghan named Dilawar did not have to imagine it - because it
happened to him. Now he imagines nothing at all, ever again.

The United States government delivered a nightmare much worse than
Michael Harlan Lyman's to Dilawar, as it has to hundreds and thousands
of innocent people since the beginning of the war on terror. It was
doing it before of course, but in smaller numbers, and they felt they
had to hide it then.

They say that chickens come home to roost. If this is so, we won't
have to ever stretch our imaginations again when it comes to horror.
Any zeal we might have had to celebrate Halloween will be dampened by
the real horror and terror that will be visited upon us, as payback
for criminal sadistic actions carried out in our names, which we did
too little to stop.

Happy Halloween, indeed
