Of course, I could only post this on the TIPS listserve, but how sad and embarrassed we citizens of the USA should feel to actually be "United Statesians." We have tortured those who we have no clue whether they have done any wrong or not. We have gone to war for reasons we know are completely bogus--and in the process destroyed countries and killed many innocent people. This comment belongs on this listserv as it fits into the "bystander apathy" research. Most of us realize our government is committing egregious crimes and misdemeanors so why are we all standing by and doing so little to intervene? How pathetic we are.
