America, you have been governed by criminals.

Were these people criminally insane or just plain criminals?
This is a complex question, yet you see in American movies and TV programmes, issues constantly being resolved by violent means. It begs the question are Americans violent per se or have they been conditioned to act this way by their own traditions such as the Wild West, glamourising the Mafia and the Hollywood machine.
This merits a deep Analysis. I am not sure I would like the result.
Yet we are all in certain ways responsible since we do not condemn these people outright.
We hide behind words like freedom, liberty, democracy and such like,
Let's get rid of the whole stinking lot and put them behind bars.
Everybody is scared of telling the truth.
How deep is this malaise?

clipped from pulsemedia.org After 9/11, I haven’t written about this yet, but the Central Intelligence Agency was very deeply involved in domestic activities against people they thought to be enemies of the state. Without any legal authority for it. They haven’t been called on it yet. That does happen. Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That’s been going on, in the name of all of us. Congress has no oversight of it. It’s an executive assassination ring essentially, and it’s been going on and on and on. Just today in the Times there was a story that its leaders, a three star admiral named [William H.] McRaven, ordered a stop to it because there were so many collateral deaths.
