We are all Nazis now.

Torturer and killer free.
Torturer and killer free.


Fort Carson - A soldier convicted of negligent homicide in the death of an Iraqi detainee will be reprimanded, forfeit $6,000 in pay and have his activities limited under a sentence announced Monday, but he will not spend time in jail.


Chief Warrant Officer Lewis Welshofer Jr., was convicted Saturday of smothering Maj. Gen. Abed Hamed Mowhoush with a sleeping bag during a Nov. 26, 2003, interrogation.

The attorney said the clapping at the end of the trial was a testament to Welshofer.

So we are all Nazis now.

How does that latin phrase go:
"Sic transit gloria mundi!" (So goes the glory of the world!)

Without any real justice to be found inside the government cabals of power,the abused and tormented people are left with what option? Vigilanteism?
