No wonder much of the world claims to believe that America is a bigger threat than Al Qaeda and terrorism. Al Qaeda’s (very real) sins occur in silence and privacy, while America’s least mistake occurs in a media echo chamber of obsession and derision.
To demonstrate exactly how asymmetrical the world media’s standard for torture and transgression is for America versus the terrorists, I’d like you to compare and contrast the nearly unreported and uncondemned instructional drawings from the Al Qaeda “torture for dummies” manual to actual allegations of “torture” made against the United States by terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay. As the first pairing below demonstrates, the comparison should be quite an “eye opener” for those confused as to the real definition of torture.
