New York Times DESPICABLE columnist Tom Friedman, ADVOCATING TORTURE, Regurgitates Nazi "THEY are sub-human killers!" Propaganda almost verbatim...

Hat tip to Mark Ames and Laura Flanders, for pointing out, in a GritTV.org video discussion, how absolutely INSANE is the New York Times signature "the World is Flat" Neo-Con ("slash wages & benefits to match CHINA's SLAVE LABOR STANDARDS")
columnist Tom Friedman's insane defense of torture -

MEMO to the NEO-CON Naziesque NEW YORK TIMES: YOU DO NOT NEED a US army trained TORTURE "expert" using "enhanced interrogation techniques" on a prisoner to understand why "Islamic fundamentalists" might be willing to risk their lives to attack Americans: ALL you need do is look at the photograph RIGHT THERE in the NEW YORK TIMES,
of Afghan villagers combing through the WRECKAGE of THEIR homes and villages destroyed by US BOMBS, and of the newly dug GRAVES of their own children & neighbors.

A TORTUROUS COMPROMISE
By Thomas L. Friedman, NY Times op-ed
Published: April 28, 2009

< Lawrence Wilkerson, the former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, has testified to Congress that more than 100 detainees died in U.S. custody in Iraq and Afghanistan, with up to 27 of those declared homicides by the military. They were allegedly KICKED TO DEATH, SHOT, SUFFOCATED, or DROWNED. Look, our people killed detainees, and only a handful of those deaths have resulted in any punishment of U.S. officials... >

What then, Mr. Friedman, of the KANGAROO COURTS for FEMALE PRIVATES accused ONLY of "abuse" that YOU, and your NY TIMES, and all your PNAC friends (Kristol, Kagan, Wolfowtiz, etc.) WHITEWASHED as "justice" - when ANYONE with a PEA-BRAIN knows that FEMALE PRIVATES in a WAR ZONE do NOT defy orders of their superiors - especially superiors who are MAKING GAMES of those very sadistic tortures in a closed, secretive, brutal environment like Abu Ghraib prison?
Those women may have been SCAPEGOATED by you, your pathetic, lying excuse of a 'news' paper, and by the US military & government; but they don't get paid MILLIONS to WHITEWASH TORTURE as you do.

For FRAUD and MASSIVE INCOMPETENCE bordering on "last days in the bunker" insanity masquerading as "commentary," Mr. Friedman should have to serve out some of those PRISON TERMS for female, VOLUNTEER PRIVATES convicted in the KANGAROO COURT Nazi/Commissar "abuse" SHOW TRIALS, he was so willing to PRETEND to not notice - even as HE DEFENDS the MURDER of prisoners in US custody by other, "real" torturers, their Army superiors, and the Bush-Cheney chain of command.
