CIA/military torture and killer thugs are part of the same spectrum of injustice and impunity.

Obama: the US does not have to prosecute those responsible for torture because it it is exceptionally good.

For the US to be good at all, it must prosecute its torturers and its killer thugs.

In today's US wars, the very idea of a future peace has been discarded.

The European Commission plans to cancel proposed EU clean air and recycling directives.

The US has closed its notorious Bagram prison.

Henceforth the government of Afghanistan will be responsible for abuse and torture of prisoners in Afghanistan. It's still barbaric but the guilt will only indirectly be on US hands.

Spain's right-wing government has imposed a million-dollar fine for some protests, and large fines also for publishing photos of thugs.

The latter one seems to be intended to stop people from documenting the thugs' violence. The people of Spain, under repression, need to develop networks for anonymously posting evidence outside Spain.

The same law also represses insulting a thug. Many thugs do things which provoke well-deserved insults. Prohibiting insults against anyone is inexcusable censorship.

I will suggest to people in Spain that they turn the word "policÃa" into an insult. Then it will be possible to insult a thug just by saying "es un policÃa", and it will be difficult for them to prosecute this.
