Mike The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.
Ditto.

For me, this is not news at all. The CIA did this kind of stuff extensively in Latin America, Southern Asia, Middle East and Africa all through the 20th century: teaching torture to local police, supporting fascist dictatorships and death squads, ousting democratic governments just because they were not friendly, etc. The examples are many: the military juntas in Brazil and Argentina, the Pinochet coup against Allende in Chile, the contras in Nicaragua, the civil war in El Salvador, the Mossadegh ousting and support for Reza Pahlavi in Iran, etc. This is why I find it laughable that some americans claim any higher moral ground of the US foreign police over the islamofascists. Guantanamo and Abu-Ghraib didn't surprise me.
Of all forms of sexual aberration, the most unnatural is abstinence.

Don't blame the fact that your continent is in the gutter on the US.

I agree it's not news, but there are on many these forums who reside where this news might not be transmitted (the USA for example) and it's good to educate people :laugh: There's no reason to think the leopard has changed its spots.

You mean where it's not filtered and rehashed to promote the Marxist agenda? Sure it is. That's what the New York Times is for.

That Latin American countries are inherently unstable (just look at Venezuela...Was there "CIA involvement" there?) because you lack the caliber of people to generate a useful society? Well, good. Acceptance is the first step.

So you see using a mafia hitman to solve a political situation not to your liking acceptable do you? Well I suppose if it's OK to do the same to your presidents, you must.

You find iron-fist communist dictators who kill thousands while overthrowing democracy acceptable, do you?

If you lot wouldn't whinge every time they (the US) wanted to do things overtly, ie send the army in, (anywhere) they wouldn't have to resort to covert methods. And if you Yanks weren't so goddam whimpish in the face of such toothless opposition we'd all be better off. Saddam Hussein would have been finished off in 1990 if you'd stuck to your guns.... (literally!) Say what you like about the US, there are two things I know which cancel out any negatives: they are still the free-est nation on Earth, and never mind what claptrap you read in the papers, you go anywhere in the poorest parts of the world and EVERYONE (apart from a few religious nuts) aspires to what the US is. And remember this fact too: unlike just about every other nation in history, the US got where she is solely by the grace of her own hard work, and did it all in 200 years. (Yes, a few slaves helped, but you might remember that us nasty white Westerners are again just about the only peoples in history to ever voluntarily abolish slavery.) If the US needs to apologise for being who they are, then the rest of us shuold just drop dead of shame. Fred

I don't know why you haven't apologized for posting yet another link with no quote and no comment and indication otherwise of whether anyone should take interest or not. You tell me... ;P :rolleyes:

Yes, but can you blame them for doing so if that's the only legal way they can hire programmers they want at the rate they can afford?

a) What's wrong with that? Do you know what money really is? (No, that's not a trick question.) b) Actually, I think you;'re wrong. They want the "self-evident" truths of the US Declaration of Independence. They want life, liberty and the right to pursue their dreams and happiness. It really is as simple as that for most people.
