..........just a little too late.
The author's observation:
>"the abuses that have been committed in the name of the United States -- arbitrary and indefinite detention, wholesale flouting of the Geneva Conventions, a string of secret prisons, interrogation by torture, Abu Ghraib -- should result in more people being sent to jail than a couple of ill-trained enlisted reservists."

Yeah, you think SOMEONE would be held responsible for soiling our name internationally. We went from condolences and support during 9/11 to being a forceful, illegl brat getting what it wants by jingoism, bribery, extortion, theft and bombing. Did I add breaking international law?
So now we've lost our international respect and even Britain's soiled so when the leaders lose it, where else do we have to go but down?
