Changing Winds

The former Peruvian President was sentenced today to 25 more years to go along with his previous sentence.
He is charged with abuse of power, illegal wiretapping, corruption, kidnapping and torturing his opponents...

Amnesty international is pleased,

"It is not every day when a former head of state is convicted for human rights violations such as torture, kidnapping and enforced disappearances.

"We hope that it is just the first of many trials in both Latin America and throughout the world."

His crimes were very similar to the Bush administration's but much smaller in scope and no one openly confessed their crimes as has already happened with the Bush administration from Cheney down.

In a related development, Spanish prosecutors are going ahead with charges against Gonzales and 5 other high ranking Bush administration lawyers and officials, charged with torture at Guantanamo.

America continues to be paralyzed to the reality that must be resolved, a national cognitive dissonance.
