America's track record for accountability for government's inhumanity, abuses, and crimes against people says no one will be.

And people wonder how we got here. Snort.

When you know you'll never be held accountable, then why bother following the law at all?

If a government can torture people, even torture them to death, and get away with it, then what's stopping them from doing anything and everything else?

Nothing.
