Salon’s Glenn Greenwald provides direction:
The Rules of American Justice are quite clear:
(1)… If you are a high-ranking government official who commits war crimes, you will receive full-scale immunity, both civil and criminal, and will have the American President demand that all citizens Look Forward, Not Backward.
(2)… If you are a low-ranking member of the military, you will receive… relatively trivial punishments… in order to protect higher-ranking officials and cast the appearance of accountability.
(3)… If you are a victim of American war crimes, you are a non-person with no legal rights or even any entitlement to see the inside of a courtroom.
(4)… If you talk publicly about any of these war crimes, you have committed the Gravest Crime — you are guilty of… espionage… –… and will have the full weight of the American criminal justice system come crashing down upon you.
