Liberty Alone

Looking to the other side of the pond as I tend to do I see that the main stream press (in the US) are finally noticing the very disturbing case of the ‘House of Death’ where the DEA, FBI and other government departments used a paid informant who proceeded, with full knowledge of his handlers and the Department of Justice, to participate in murders.

The Observer first reported this in December 2006 and US journalist Bill Conroy has been pursuing it since the beginning, it is only now that the Washington Times takes note.

This whole story is disgusting. It seems human lives are now of no importance (especially if they’re Hispanic) in the War on Drugs. We’re now used to seeing liberty trampled upon in the course of the waging of this war, but now it seems the right to life is of no consequence.
