New York Times:
Length of sentences causes the huge U.S. inmate
count that dwarfs other nations.

1920 to 2007 chart. The
National Rifle Association
is largely responsible for pushing through
lengthy mandatory-minimum drug sentencing. Even for
cannabis growing. NRA is today's
paramilitary Brown Shirts
and
Hitler Youth promoting
vast
concentration
camps mostly for nonviolent
"undesirables." Even otherwise mainstream commentators like
George Noory of
Coast to Coast AM
mindlessly repeat the "tough on crime" and "law and ORDER,"
stormtrooper
door-buster, SWAT slogans. |

U.S. deaths. Iraq.----
|
The majority of U.S.
prisoners are there due to the drug war!
|

|
Save U.S. soldiers' lives by
withdrawing to a few big
bases in Kurdistan and Kuwait where U.S. protection is welcome.
This will also protect the world's oil supplies, and lower tensions
greatly.
Let Iraqis run Iraq. |
"The most recent evidence comes from
autopsies of 44 prisoners who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan in U.S.
custody. Most died under circumstances that suggest torture. The reports
use words like 'strangulation,' 'asphyxiation' and 'blunt force
injuries.' ... A few months before the [Abu Ghraib] scandal broke
[spring 2004], Coalition Provisional Authority polls showed Iraqi support
at 63 percent. A month after
Abu Ghraib, the number was 9 percent. Polls
showed that 71 percent of Iraqis were surprised by the
revelations." -Newsweek, Nov. 14, 2005, page 36.

Axis
of EVIL: USA,
Israel, and Iran are wannabe theocracies. U.S. drug-war ads say drugs fund
terrorism. The truth is that people like EVIL Texan,
Armageddonist, George W. Bush support the funding and arming of EVIL
fundamentalist Israeli settler
expansion,
terrorism, land theft, and murder
of people like American Rachel Corrie
(photo higher up) in Gaza and the West Bank in occupied Palestine. It is an EVIL
Bush-led,
fundamentalist, U.S.
Death Cult of Big Oil! Working
with hate radio, hate TV, and the disinfo of EVIL moron pundits
at Fox News and much of
corporatist Big Media.
