The death squads that Bush had Negroponte set up in Iraq and elsewhere

[NNN0LHI]

That is the reason for the "new" torture rules Congress just passed.

1. Makes sense, Negroponte pushed death squads in Cen. America

under Comrade President Reagan.

3. My thought also - seems the GOP can't govern w/o death squads n/t

n/t

2. What I don't get is that it's gruesome and beyond inhumane ...

BUT, and this should be important to the Ghoulish Neo-Conservatives, IT DOESN'T WORK to settle the populace. :shrug:

No matter how much they pick off each other, they will NOT EVER be satisfied with a USA Footprint of any size. Once the death squads are adequately beefed up, I fear they will turn on the USA Troops. It will happen and we will extract our troops with chinooks at the very last minute.

These freaks are truly insane: They keep using their death squads thinking that their thuggery will settle the populace a la The Roman and British Empire. It's a shared delusion that has zero hope of materializing.

It didn't work for Negroponte in Central America during the 80s and it won't work for him in Iraq. Yes, these Devil's Rejects are truly insane. :crazy:

4. They don't put a lot of stock in History. The make up history themselves

and they know how trustworthy THAT is.

They don't use death squads because it settles the populace, they use them because they satisfy their need to see deaths and control them.

As demonstrated by Jost et. al. FEAR of DEATH is the number one psychological correlate among conservatives across modern history.

Now think about that, wouldn't having the authority (btw, another correlate to conservatism) to control death be somewhat satisfying to conservative sociopaths?
