So it only works one way?

Okay well this is not China related but this shit happens all the time, and today was a particularly glaring example. So long as f*ing USA does it, it's okay, but if anyone else does it, they are terrorists, evil etc. Kinda reminds me why I am glad to be gone from that extreme hypocrisy. So on google.com in the news section there are 2 stories side by side.

One, http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/20/world/middleeast/20iran.html?ref=middleeast
is about an Iranian ex-journalist who had her journalist badge revoked 3 years ago had just been tried and convicted of spying for the US. Because she is a US citizen of course, Obama mama says: "I have complete confidence that she was not engaging in any sort of espionage". How the f*ck does he have complete confidence, how does he know anything about what espionage she may have been doing? I am sure the relatives of the people who have been sitting in Guantanamo without a trial for 6+ years also have complete confidence in their innocence. The woman's father also says that his daughter had admitted the charges “during her interrogation, under duress and pressure.” Oh, so then it must not be true. Sure, I will buy that. But what about the other news story.

The title of it is Planner of 9/11 Attacks Waterboarded 183 Times. http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSN19326905 The story explains that after his waterboarding he admitted planning the attacks. But yet, no one questions that there is any "duress" or "pressure" there...hmm.

Oh, and one more story is up on google that seems relevant. It's title is Mental damage from CIA tactics is disputed. http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-na-psychology20-2009apr20,0,139316.story And it goes on to say that Obama does not want any charges to be brought against perpetrators of the interrogation techniques which included water boarding. Hmm, but what about the fact that the USA convicted Japanese after WW2 for water boarding US detainees, and by convicted I mean hanged! http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/02/AR2007110201170.html

How great it is to have a hypocrytical one sided media and Obama mama and his whole government as well.
