America is what America stands for. In my America‚ we should not mass torture people and dehumanize them due to the fact that we can.

Mumia Abu Jamal In Mumia’s conviction there wasn’t any fair consideration for him as a person. So in a way you can not really consider it an actual trial. For it to have been called a “trial” there would have had to been more justice involved in the process‚ the court was completely unfair towards Mumia. Trumping charges and fabricating lies so that he would land in jail. Mumia Abu Jamal was born in Philadelphia on April 24‚1954. In his youth he was involved in Black Nationalism‚ an organization

Dear Mike Hum The article “Is Abu Ghraib the military version of reality TV?” is unpleasant to read. It tries to give the reader‚ the vision that US soldiers in this period are not responsible for their actions on torturing of other peoples (Iraqis) but rather the orders in chief.

The most categorical imperative act is when your own life is at risk and to save it you must commit things
