  Do you have difficulty reading? This is a historical recalling of a past event, not the opening statement of a legal case. The only judgement that is passed is a moral one, and those do not have an expirations date. We can and should condemn past wrongs on the basis of historical learning and more advanced ethics. This is the whole basis of progress.

    Do I have difficulty? How ironic

    The interrogations done by his men in Oman were more extensive than previously reported and would be considered illegal by today’s standards.

      why are you stuck on the current illegality of this? you seem to think it’s not right to condemn their actions because they were legal at the time. extremely weird take.

      but tell me, was it legal back then to do a coup and install a dictator and annex a bit of land?
