Just as thousands of political dissidents, suspected criminals, and enemies of the state were “disappeared” from Latin America over the course of several decades of CIA-funded dirty wars, so too have hundreds of “persons of interest” around the world begun to disappear as a consequence of the global war on terror, which in many ways has become a globalized version of those earlier, regional failures of democracy.

Emphasis mine.

Scratch. A. Fucking. Liberal holy shit

He deleted the tweet I posted, which I’m guessing has to do with ABC jumping the gun on confirming the perpetrator’s identity

This was the second link. Weird that it isn’t working for you. Still works on my end: https://harpers.org/archive/2009/11/the-intelligence-factory/

If what is true what the US claims, that she killed a soldier who was torturing her and was threatening her with a loaded gun, then I am all for pardoning her and giving her a comically large 2nd amendment medal.

If she shot an US soldier without being tortured on a US black site I say: good!

They’re talking about Aafia, not this guy (who apparently is not related to her)

I hope it all ends peacefully and she gets released and this guy walks. We all know it won’t happen, but it would be nice :sicko-wistful:

I am also hoping that no one of the congregation gets hurt. There is a reason the 1% is so detached and so invisible to us, so that they are less in the cross-hair for their actions than us and marginalized groups.

The reporter that sent out the tweet in my post clarified that this isn’t actually her brother.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
