Is it possible that the US government will allow

the shooting suspect to get out the full story of everything the CIA unit was doing in Afghanistan while he was working for them? I highly doubt it and if he does tell there will be instantaneous denial by the CIA and US government. Just think of what this guy knows and what he could tell. If convicted, remembering that under our system we have to say "accused", he should obviously get the max penalty. Short of the death penalty because I do not believe in it.

But just think of the crimes of violence and torture that would be way beyond rules of engagement, Geneva etc. this guy could tell about. Remember in Iraq when anal rape in front of family members was used? What do you think the unit this guy was in did with women and children?

Look at Pukeseth salivating to give the orders to kill any survivors of the boat attacks. Look at Crumb the 1st salivating as he moves to kill more in strikes directly on Venezuela and his chomping at the bit to do so in Mexico. The taste of blood in his mouth from causing excess Covid deaths has now developed into a full blown gnawing hunger.

Meanwhile we can be sure that the fascists will continue on and although, as I have pointed out, winning court decisions about prior acts is good we have seen the proof that these decisions do not serve as a deterrent to them for going ever further and committing even worse acts. Even if it did dampen them somewhat deterrence down the road does the victims in the first cases little if any good. The acts still took place. A child who breaks a window and gets spanked may be deterred from doing it again but someone is still left with a broken window. You can't un-ring the bell once tolled.
