"Corruption and hypocrisy ought not be inevitbable products of democracy, as they undoubtedly are today." - Mahatma Gandhi
It's amazing the things I can learn from this thing called "News". For awhile now there's been some controversy regarding former vice president and tyrant Dick Cheney (surprise, surprise) and the CIA's covering up of a supposed plan to assassinate Al Queda members, including Osama Bin Laden. As liberal as I am, I honestly wouldn't even have another thought about taking the opportunity to kill Osama Bin Laden or anyone else involved in the attacks on our country. I don't think any American would. A man who orchestrated the attacks on September 11, 2001 and murdered countless people. If only we had just done this first instead of killing more innocent people and starting a war. That's something I also find sad: whenever an enemy attacks us we don't respond by just killing the enemy, but we respond by murdering their innocent countrymen who weren't involved whatsoever or in this case murdering people in the wrong country entirely. There's being a guilty coward and then there's being an OUTRIGHT PUSSY!!!
So yeah, I at first had no real problem with this plot against Al Queda, it would've been a load off my conscience. But the fact is that Cheney and the CIA lied (surprise, surprise) and tried to covertly kill these people illegitimatally, or illegally. This means it wasn't a just operation but a straight hit. They did not notify the public and went against their own code and conduct. Some people, some ignorant people won't mind this as they still believe Cheney is an almighty warrior of purity who will save their small little world. Guess what, Richard Cheney is a monster, he is honest to god scary. The Central Intelligence Agency is a wild card club of hitmen and backstabbers who have all of the tools and all of the power. These days the people with the most power are unfortunately corrupt. Hope that changes in years to come.
Oh and if you were gonna get caught couldn't you have at least done it after you killed those people? As nefarious as Cheney is, he was never that bright. But then was anybody in the Bush White House really that bright?...No, no they weren't.
This has been some light that needed shedding from Your Modest Guru. Thanks for reading.
