Some personal thoughts on Colin Powell -
one of the gang of war criminals still walking free


Colin Powell, in his entire lousy life, has been a militaristic scumbag.

Possibly even more so than the detestable George W Bush, Powell should be tried and executed as a serial war criminal.

From Vietnam war criminal - burning down innocent people's houses and villages in another illegal imperialist war, advocating shooting MAMs (Military Age Males) seen running away from US helicopters, covering up systematic US war crimes against Vietnamese civilians brought to his attention by a US GI - to the deliberate lying to the United Nations and the world to set off the Iraqi war crime, Powell is very bad news indeed.

It was no accident that he was cynically presented by the media as the "good cop" versus the Rumsfeld "bad cop".

All of them were and are bad.
All of them need to be arrested, tried for war crimes, and executed.
Full stop.

Conducted by Kennedy, these remarkably candid, in-depth interviews shed light on the abuses in an unprecedented manner. Continue
