He who fights with monsters should take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

I'm from the UK and live in the US, and this makes me ashamed to associated with either.comment:www.metafilter.com,2005:site.40573-882880Sun, 20 Mar 2005 05:55:30 -0800blindsamBy: Decani

blindsam: I'm in the same position and I share your feeling. USUK's post 9/11 madness will go in the black pages of the history books. I take some comfort from the fact that Blair did not get the public support for his war crimes that Bush did (and does) for his. Some. But not much.comment:www.metafilter.com,2005:site.40573-882895Sun, 20 Mar 2005 06:33:48 -0800DecaniBy: Witty

<i>What are we talking about here, exactly?</i>
I think that would be Afghanistan becoming a hub of a global network of detention centres, the frontline in America's 'war on terror', where arrest can be random and allegations of torture commonplace. Oh, and in Iraq, and through out the middle East, where terror suspects are handed over to the Saudi and Syrian governments.
It there anything else we can help you with, Witty?comment:www.metafilter.com,2005:site.40573-882948Sun, 20 Mar 2005 07:54:22 -0800gesamtkunstwerkBy: adamvasco

Thank you Blind Owl. I do not always get to read the Grauniad. Why can no mainstream US publication tell it like it is. <a href="http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=afghanistan+detention+centres&btnG=Search+News">Here</a> is a google news search for Afghanistan detention centres. It amazes me that no mainstream US publication seems fit to mention anything to do with this. Is Amerika completely in denial about what it is doing. Seriously - this is not a troll - I spend about 4 months of the year in USA and apart from Atlantic Monthly and Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker, ignorance about US behavior against the "war on terror" seems to be the norm apart from the TV appearances of politicos mouthing banal generalities.
Witty - Pratish comment - what is reported here is the blatent disregard for human rights by the administration of the country you live in and presumably voted in. You seem to agree with this stance by your trollish inability to comment usefully to this thread.
The seemingly willful ignoring of this disregard by the US mainstream media. .comment:www.metafilter.com,2005:site.40573-882991Sun, 20 Mar 2005 09:25:24 -0800adamvascoBy: nofundy

We're not exactly occupying the moral high ground with "dentention centers," sanctioned torture and extraordinary rendition, are we?

"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it. Dear Daddy, Schopenhauer for tomorrow. The professor doesn't seem to realize Down the middle of the Ganges a white bundle is being borne, and on it a crow pecking the body of a child wrapped in its winding-sheet. 53 The attention of the public was now again drawn to those unnatural feuds which disturbed the Royal Family. The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law. They've been arrested in violation of the Constitution and laws of the State of Indiana, which provide¡ª" "I know of Marvor and will take you to him. It is not far to where he stays." Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends. Stephen Holgrave ascended the marble steps, and proceeded on till he stood at the baron's feet.
