The scene is the same as Act 1. God Li: (Stands up, knocks the gavel) Now announce the opening of the 38th Court of the "Last Judgment" (sit down).Biography accused the 39th President of the United States Jimmy Carter (Jimmy Carter). (Carter stands up.) God Lee: You are Carter, born on October 1, 1924, and became the 39th President of the United States on January 20, 1977. Carter: Yes. God Lee: You are very religious, do you read the Bible every day? Carter: Every day. God Lee: You claim to be a born again Christian (a reborn Christian), you must have a deeper understanding of today's "last judgment" than others.Because the ending of "Last Judgment" may not be rebirth, but death again.

Carter: I can understand. God Li: Judging you should be much easier than judging others, because you have promised yourself "never tell a lie". In November 1976, when you were running for president, playboy ("Playboy") magazine interviewed you, and you confessed: "I have looked at many women with lust, and in my heart I have committed adultery many times. This is what God thinks I am what I will do, and I do it well, for which God forgive me." (I've looked on a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times. This is something that God recognizes I will do—and I have done it—and God forgives me for it.)

Carter: Thank God Lee was able to testify that I was honest. God Lee: Are you the first US president born in a hospital instead of at home? Carter: Yes.See the progress of my country from where I was born.The delivery room is no longer at home. God Lee: Your presidency coincides with the fact that the United States has just been established for 200 years. After 200 years, it is time to make progress.Even your methods of killing people are much more sophisticated. Carter: Oh. God Lee: Do you remember what is called the "Three Rules of Washington" (Three Rules of Washington)? Carter: (blushing) Oh, oh, I don't think I can remember.

God Lee: Do you remember what is called "Alabama Claims Arbitration" (Alabama Claims Arbitration)? Carter: (blushing) Oh, oh, I still can't remember God Lee: Do you remember?During the American Civil War, Britain secretly built ships for the South. On the surface, there were no weapons on board; but as soon as they left port, they could be armed and turned into warships.Among them, the "Alabama" sank or captured more than 60 northern ships at sea for nearly two years, and was finally sunk by northern cruisers.After the war, the United States claimed compensation from Britain. In 1871, the "Treaty of Washington" (Treaty of Washington) was signed, and the "Washington Three Principles" appeared in it. is a country.

Carter: I remember. God Lee: Do you agree?The spirit of this treaty has been incorporated into the Hague Convention in 1907 in the 20th century. Do you agree? Carter: I agree. God Lee: At that time, Britain still knew the basic shame. If it shamelessly sells warships and other weapons to the rebel provinces of the United States, do you agree? Carter: Of course I disagree. God Lee: So how do you explain the Taiwan Relations Act? Carter: Oh, there is a law with the name of a foreign state in the domestic law of the United States. God Li: On January 1, 1979, the United States made two recognitions in black and white in the "Communication on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between China and the United States": 1. "Recognize that the government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government of China"; 2. "Recognize China's position, that there is only one China, and Taiwan is a part of China." Three months and 10 days later, on April 10, 1979, the United States privately introduced a "Taiwan Relations Act", which could supply arms to Taiwan and legislate Backtracking the time by 3 months and 10 days, pulling the effective date to the same day as the above-mentioned "Communication on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between China and the United States", making another kind of self-contradictory black and white words, making a joke since the founding of the United States.Why is it a joke?According to page S2581 of the U.S. "Records of Congress" dated March 13, 1979, when the Taiwan Relations Act was enacted, some senators couldn't help asking: After we have recognized Beijing as the sole government of China, how can we give What about Taiwan's armed forces?Isn't this supporting a rebel province in China?Isn't this a joke?Taiwan is equivalent to a state of the United States in the Chinese Constitution. Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution stipulates that no state shall enter into treaties with foreign countries. Since the United States recognizes Taiwan as part of China, how can many agreements with Taiwan in the past be included in the Taiwan Relations Act? Does the statement in the middle of the day continue to be valid?The senator asked: Can the United States link shoulders with British Columbia, a province in the west of Canada, without Canada's consent?Isn't this a joke?This joke, on pages 48 to 49 of the "US Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Hearing Record on the Taiwan Relations Act", Americans can blush to see.Among the above records, the most shocking thing is the rhetorical question of your conscientious senators, that is, can the United States, which has diplomatic relations with Canada, associate with a Canadian province without Canada's consent?This is a good rhetorical question.However, a better rhetorical question should be: When the United States establishes diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China, if the People's Republic of China simultaneously enacts a "Hawaii Relations Act" and "links shoulders" with a state in the United States, is it okay?Even sell weapons to this state, okay?Tell me about it, can you?

Carter: It really doesn't make sense, it can't.But this is done by our US Congress. I am just the President of the United States, and I cannot control Congress. God Lee: You remind me of a kind of performance on the stage - "double reed". Carter: What is a "double reed"? God Lee: "Double Reed", a kind of variety show featuring two performers one of whom speaks while the other acts out the gestures at the same time. It can be said that "Double Reed" is a pantomime of two.However, it was performed by two people. The "Taiwan Relations Act" is basically a "double reed" performed jointly by the US President and the US Congress, with a white face and a black face, a bright spot and a dark spot.This court cannot accept your use of "I can't control Congress" to disentangle the president of the United States from the Taiwan Relations Act.This is obviously you Americans playing "double reed".

Carter: Oh. God Li: Your "double reed" is actually a hypocrite. At the end of January 1979, Deng Xiaoping visited the United States. In Washington, you told him that the US Congress passed the "Jackson-Vanik Amendment" in 1974, stipulating that the United States can only establish normal relations with countries that allow immigration freedom. trade relations.It turned out that the purpose of the US Congress to pass this law was to let the Soviet Union release people and allow Jews to immigrate freely.You talked eloquently, while Deng Xiaoping listened expressionlessly. Finally, when you finished speaking, Deng Xiaoping asked you: "How many Chinese people do you want me to release to immigrate to the United States? 1 million? 10 million? 100 million? Whatever you want, That's how much." You froze, never expecting the answer to be so straightforward and generous.You Americans are cold, and you dare not want any of them. The so-called "Jackson-Vanick Amendment", the so-called "immigrant freedom theory", and the so-called "freedom of migration" are all empty words of hypocrites.Your humanity and your justice are false. When you hypocritically proposed to Deng Xiaoping that China should give people "freedom of movement" and ease immigration, after hearing his words, you dare not answer.May I ask where is your God?Where is the God who forgives the woman you lusted upon?Does he forgive you Americans who talk about "freedom of movement" all day long, legislate and oppress others to have "freedom of movement" all day long, but close the door and refuse others to immigrate?

Carter: God moves in a mysterious way. (God moves in a mysterious way.) God Lee: The poem you quoted from William Cowper was stolen by TS Eliot two hundred years later and changed to God works in a mysterious way. Carter: Thank God Lee for teaching me so well. God Lee: We're still clinging to the hypocrite problem in you America. Carter: Just now God Lee has talked about the United States' attitude towards China's "freedom of movement", isn't that enough? God Li: There is also "reproductive freedom". You Americans, especially the members of the US Congress, keep accusing China of "one-child policy" as inhumane. , It is indeed inhumane, but if there is no "one-child" but "two-child", "three-child", "five-child", and "eight-child", China's already out-of-control population will become even more out of control. Human resources are not enough, people are starving to death, and people are starving everywhere. Is it humane?What to do then?Ask the American people for food?America's Grain is Raising Cattle; Ask Humanity from US Congressman?Members of Congress are eating beef.You are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but your humanity is lip service and cool, just like I open up 1 million, 10 million, 100 million people to you, you don’t want any of them, Americans like you, we will be rare for you to ask questions” "One-child"?Carter, ask again, where is your God?

Carter: God moves... oh, works in a mysterious way. God Lee: In a hypocritical way (hypocritical way), right? Carter: Oh. God Lee: Also, let me ask you, the second year after the end of the Vietnam War, in 1977, when reporters asked you whether the United States had a moral responsibility to help rebuild Vietnam, your reply to President Carter was: "Well, destroy It’s reciprocal.” May I ask if Vietnam dropped bombs on your continental United States?What did the Vietnamese destroy you America?Your "relativity" reminds me of a joke.Mr. Zhang was stolen and the thief was caught.In the court, the thief complained loudly to Mr. Zhang, the reason was: In order to steal something from your house, I kept me up all night, and you have to compensate me for the loss of lack of sleep!

Carter: I admit that there are many unsatisfactory places, but I am the American president who values ​​human rights the most in the 20th century. Human rights position, can't God Li see it? God Lee: I can see, but my vision was interrupted by Iran.Why don't your human rights and your humanitarian standards apply to Iran?Your American support for the Iranian dictator Pahlavi has the worst human rights record in the world. It was already established in the 1975 "Amnesty International" report. In the 1970s, Pahlavi had 60,000 intelligence officers. Personnel and 6,000 large and small prisons. Pahlavi, with the support of your United States, has persecuted Iran’s finances for 25 years. Iranians hate Pahlavi and you, and until 1979, Pahlavi was still The Iranians were driven out of the country. He fled from Egypt, Morocco, and the Bahamas all the way to Panama, and finally came to the United States. You, President Carter, actually wanted him to enter the United States. That day was October 20, 1979.Arousing the dissatisfaction of the Iranian people, they occupied the US embassy and took 66 hostages.At that time, the intelligence unit had reminded you not to let Pahlavi enter the country, because that would irritate the Iranians, but you still didn’t listen. What about your human rights arguments?At that time, if you think about how Pahlavi persecuted human rights, you will think twice.

Carter: At that time, I was told by Kissinger and others that I regarded Pahlavi's coming to the United States as a humanitarian issue. God Lee: I'm curious: when Pahlavi came to power, he drove the religious leader Khomeini out of the country and went into exile for 14 years. Why don't you care about Khomeini with humanitarian issues?I'm so surprised, what kind of humane standards are you Americans? Carter: We also have to think about who is taking the Americans hostage. God Lee: You really make a good point, let me tell you who it is.Most of them are students from middle-class families. They study engineering, medicine, chemistry, mathematics and other subjects. A quarter of them are girls, and most of them are studying at the two largest universities in Tehran - Tehran Institute of Technology and Tehran University .President Carter, do you know what kind of person you have offended? Carter: I didn't expect them to hate us that much. God Li: Because you are too proud and self-righteous, you don't know how hateful you are.At that time, the slogans on the streets of Iran were "Death to Carter" (Death to Carter), "The US is Enemy No. 1 of Humanity" (The US is Enemy No. 1 of Humanity), and "This is the struggle between Islam and heathen". (It is a struggle between Islam and the infidels). Carter: Are we heretics?I think they are.I am a devout Baptist, and we Americans are a devout people.If religion is the last resort, our religion will lead us to victory. God: Appeal to Religion?Do you dare to compare religion with Islam?Your Christianity is too far behind, they are much more religious than you.Your god is always going to let you go, for example, to get you to fuck the women in Playboy magazine, and their god is not accommodating. Carter: So no Playboy, only 4 wives. (Laughter.) God Lee: You lost on the religious front.In the end, when you leave the office and go outside to Reagan's inauguration, not sure if the plane to release people from Iran has taken off, you completely lose. Carter: Not in terms of religious standards, but in terms of some objective standards, at least during my presidency, at least outside of Iran, I respect human rights. God Lee: I'm surprised you're so decisive.You said outside of Iran, may I ask, how did you treat East Timor? When Indonesia annexed East Timor by force, up to one-third of the East Timorese were killed, but what about you, the United States?You support Indonesia all the way and supply killing weapons, don't you?That is not temporary, but long-term support for 16 consecutive years. During these 16 years, when you were president, one-third of the East Timorese were killed. Can you get away?Do you respect human rights like this?Look at your treatment of Nicaragua. During the turmoil in Nicaragua in July 1977, you supported the brutal dictator Sumusa. Do you respect human rights like this? In July 1979, Sumusa was overthrown. At that time, you were president. Did you let Nicaragua go?How do you explain it? Carter: Nicaragua is so special. Since 1927, the United States has been involved in a war against the Sandinistas of the left. This civil war has been fought for 20 years, and it seems to have no end.Even if Samdino himself was killed, his followers would not retreat. In 1979, when I was in office, the Sandinists came to power.The Sandinists enjoy the support of the broad masses of the people.But the United States supported the Sumusa family all the way. The family's troubles were so outrageous that the Catholic bishops couldn't stand it anymore. They jointly issued an open letter condemning the family's indiscriminate killing of innocent people.At that time, in order to urge them to improve their human rights situation, I suspended US economic aid by 12 million and reduced military aid from 8.5 million to 3.15 million... God Li: But you are still supporting the reactionary Sumusa regime. During your tenure, in 1977, you signed an agreement to provide US$25 million in aid; Come to buy equipment for the military hospital, $150,000 for military training; also approved two loans, $3 million for education, $7.5 million for food, you are so kind to this reactionary regime, until it collapses Well, you simply sent troops in and practiced "Sumsaism without Sumusa". You, the president who called for human rights, turned out to be lenient in this way.After President Reagan came to power, he simply became blatant and assertive. Carter: Compared with what President Reagan did, you can see how human I am. God Lee: This point has its own opinion. Carter: As I said earlier, I have strong reactions to Argentina, to Uruguay, to Ethiopia, to their poor human rights records.For example, after the military coup in Argentina in 1976, the armed forces and the secret police arrested people on the street. In two years, 20,000 people were missing, and the wrong people accounted for a quarter of them. I stopped the assistance. God Lee: Want to hear the actual numbers?During your tenure, loans to Argentina amounted to US$27.4 million in 1978, increased to US$32.7 million in 1979, and increased to US$79.2 million in 1980.The increase has tripled in two years, so it's a good idea to stop aid. Carter: (embarrassed) God Lee's figures are really hard to justify.But, on the whole, God Lee must have sensed a trend that "The day of the "ugly American" is over." God Lee: "The days of 'Ugly Americans' are gone", this is what you boasted in your second year in office. Perhaps when you were the president of the United States, you somewhat had this kind of self-expectation.Now, here comes the trouble, "The days of 'Ugly Americans' are over", then after "911", why did you write an open letter questioning President Bush Jr.?The torture that violated human rights in the United States is listed one by one in the open letter. Where is the "no longer"?To make it clear once and for all, please President Bush Jr. stand up. (Bush Jr. stands up.) God Lee: After 9/11, your U.S. Congress quickly passed the Patriot Act, which authorized the U.S. government to secretly search private homes and businesses; In the case of the person involved, the private information of citizens is collected, including their medical records, what books they have checked in the library, what they have bought, and so on.When the government investigates a person, it can get all your privacy. For the sake of patriotism, all your privacy is revealed.This is a flagrant violation of the U.S. Constitution. How do you feel? Bush Jr.: That was authorized by members of Congress. God Lee: Are you saying Congressmen took the lead in violating their own constitution? Bush Jr.: Who said no? God Lee: After "911", your government arrested more than 1,200 people across the United States, and none of them was convicted of terrorism-related crimes.Their identities have been kept secret and they have no right to hear the allegations against them or seek legal advice.Most of these people were Arab or Muslim, and many were forced to leave the United States.you know Bush: I know. God Lee: In addition to arresting people all over the United States, you have also arrested people in foreign countries. First, you arrested 520 people from more than 40 countries and detained them in Guantanamo concentration camp. Of course, you also arrested people in other places. Abu Ghraib Prison (Abu Ghraib Prison) is the most famous, and there have been scenes of world-famous torture cases, do you know? Bush Jr.: I've heard some. God Lee: I heard?Let me read to you a passage from Agence France-Presse on November 19, 2005: The American Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported that the CIA operatives revealed that their superiors allowed them to use 6 torture methods to extract confessions in secret CIA cells in Asia and the Middle East. Recruited. ABC interviewed current and former CIA officials and reported that CIA sources who did not want to disclose their identities revealed that the six methods used to extract confessions were: "forced concentration, slapping the mouth, slapping the belly, standing for a long time, cold cells, and nail board irrigation." The source called these six tactics "advanced interrogation techniques" and were used by more than a dozen high-level al Qaeda figures. Belly slapping is a technique in which the officer on duty "slaps the belly forcefully with bare hands, which causes severe pain but does not cause internal injuries." "Punishment to stand for a long time" means that prisoners must stand for more than 40 hours in handcuffs and shackles. The "cold cell" requires prisoners to stand naked in a cell with a temperature of only 10 degrees Celsius and pour cold water continuously. According to the source, the trick of "watering the nail board" takes only two minutes to work.The prisoner was tied to a wooden board with his feet up and his head down, his face was covered with plastic wrap and water was poured. The prisoner immediately suffocated and confessed automatically. Earlier this month, The New York Times reported that the CIA's inspector general said in a report that the CIA's methods of extorting confessions clearly violated international conventions against torture.The report lists 10 methods the U.S. military was authorized to use against war criminals in 2002 to extract confessions. What do you think after hearing the above reports? Bush Jr.: I am the President of the United States, and I have a lot to do every day. It is impossible for me to know the details. God Lee: When will you know, after you step down, I will read to you a passage from President Carter who has stepped down (takes out a piece of paper): After visiting six of the roughly 25 concentration camps in the United States, the International Red Cross reported that they had found and registered 107 prisoners under the age of 18, some as young as 8. In May 2005, journalist Seymour Hersh reported that International Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had received a report that "800 to 900 boys aged between 13 and 15 were being held".The International Red Cross, Amnesty International and the Pentagon have amassed extensive evidence of the torture of children, as well as confirmation from soldiers who witnessed or participated in child abuse.In addition to the children's own testimonies of physical and psychological abuse, one report describes a visit to a child prisoner by US Brigadier General Janis Karpinski, who was in charge of the Abu Ghraib prison.It was an 11-year-old boy who was being held in the prison's high-risk section.The brigadier recalled that the child was crying, "He told me that he was almost 12 years old, longed to see his mother, wanted to call his mother." The 11-year-old child had no right to see his parents, lawyers or someone else, and don't know why he's here.A Pentagon spokesman told Mr Hersh: "Age is not a determining factor in detention." (puts down paper, stares at Carter) President Carter, that's your word. Carter: (sadly) Absolutely true. God Lee: (to Bush Jr.) See, you Americans are arresting people all over the world, even 11-year-old children are arrested and put in concentration camps. Tell me, who said that Nazis are just history and only in Europe? Bush Jr.: God Lee said I was a Nazi? God Lee: I said you were a Nazi leader.Boss, please listen again, it was your resigned President Carter who said (takes out a piece of paper): The horrific images of torture at Abu Ghraib in Iraq have tarnished the reputation of our country.Particularly troubling is the fact that FBI officials told the Red Cross that 70 to 90 percent of the prison's inmates are wrongly held.At least 108 prisoners held by the United States in Iraq, Afghanistan and other undisclosed locations have died since 2002, including at least 28 officially recognized murders, according to military officials.Although only one person died in Abu Ghraib prison, this fact shows that the abuse of prisoners is widespread and not just the actions or decisions of a few shameless serving soldiers. Iraqi Army Major General Abed Hamid Mohod volunteered to report to U.S. officials in Baghdad asking to find his son.As a result, the major general was detained, tortured, and finally packed in a green sleeping bag, where he died of trauma and asphyxiation on November 26, 2003. Did you see it?You Americans, why can you run so rampant in the world like this?Carter again quoted your Department of Defense statement.The Department of Defense publicly released: Although domestic and international laws prohibit the extraction of confessions by torture, the President, as Commander-in-Chief, has the authority to authorize virtually any form of physical and psychological use during interrogation, including torture. This statement from the Ministry of Defense clearly stated that the torture to extract a confession came from the President of the United States.And your Attorney General blatantly issued: In my judgment, the new "post-9/11" cases show that the strict restrictions imposed by the Geneva Conventions on interrogation of enemy prisoners of war are outdated, and some of the conditions appear outlandish. You see, these bloody materials were not produced by foreigners like me, but listed by your human rights president. Bush Jr.: (to Carter) Oh, you're so nosy!Let the ironclad evidence fall into his hands. God Li: If it falls into my hands, there is nothing wrong with it.I can help you remember well. After 9/11, you, the United States, under the banner of "anti-terrorism", arrested people everywhere in the world. The Associated Press reported on November 16, 2005: Since the war against terrorism in 2001, the United States has detained more than 83,000 foreigners. The US military alone has detained 82,400 people in Afghanistan and Iraq, and another 700 people have been sent to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. base. For more than four years, the United States did not charge or interrogate them. By March 2005, 108 people had died in custody.About 14,500 foreigners are still being detained. In 2005, the scandal of the US government setting up "secret prisons" overseas was exposed, and international public opinion was in an uproar. On November 3, 2005, the "New York Times" published an article titled "Secrets and Shames", revealing the secret prison network hidden by the CIA abroad.On December 4 of the same year, the British "Independent" reported that in order to obtain information, the CIA used various tortures, such as grabbing the clothes and shaking them back and forth, slapping the face, beating the belly, standing in handcuffs and shackles for more than 40 hours without rest, Standing naked in a cell at 10 degrees Celsius and being poured with cold water, tied to a wooden board, covered with plastic or paper, and poured with cold water, etc.According to the "Washington Post" report on November 2, 2002, in an Afghan prison, CIA officials ordered guards to strip a prisoner naked, chain him for a whole night, and let him freeze to death. The CIA often uses secret planes to send suspects to other countries for interrogation.According to British, German and French media reports, the plane transporting the suspects landed at least 210 times at British military airports, flew over German airspace or landed at least 473 times at German airports, and the planes that took off and landed near Paris took off and landed at Guantanamo Bay 6 times.Various media rushed to report on the above-mentioned human rights records of the United States, and even its own former President Carter couldn't stand it, and made speeches and publicly condemned it.It can be seen that these scandals are not just rumors, they are all true. Bush Jr.: Too rough, if not sound, without details. God Lee: Do you want more details?Let me read you a piece of detail admitted by your military: 1. Let dogs bite prisoners of war, sodomize male prisoners of war with light sticks or brooms. 2. Pricking wounds of prisoners of war with needles, and pouring chemical liquids on prisoners of war. 3. Threatening prisoners of war with pistols and pouring cold water on naked prisoners of war. 4. Beating prisoners of war with broomsticks and chairs, threatening to sodomize male prisoners of war. 5. Deliberate abuse by US military police guards. 6. Forcing male prisoners of war to wear women's underwear, forcing male prisoners of war to masturbate together and taking pictures and videos. 7. Let a prisoner of war write "rapist" on his leg, and then force him to rape a 15-year-old inmate. 8. A male military policeman in the United States had sex with a female prisoner of war (the report did not use the word rape here). 9. Punching and kicking prisoners of war, making male and female prisoners of war undressed, taking pictures, videotaping them, forcing prisoners of war to simulate sexual intercourse and taking pictures. 10. Force prisoners of war to strip naked and keep them naked for several days.Force male prisoners of war to "stack arhats" and then "dance" on them. 11. Let the prisoners of war stand on the box and simulate the electric shock.Take pictures of dead prisoners of war.A naked male prisoner of war was put on a dog leash for a photograph. American prisoner abuse has aroused public outrage around the world. "Pyramid" pointed out: "The real face of the Americans has been exposed." The spokesperson of the International Red Cross said sarcastically: "The United States has shown the world what kind of country is a democratic country ruled by law. .” Bush Jr.: After the incident, a total of 8 soldiers, including female soldiers, were sentenced to prison for torturing prisoners. God Lee: It's not a personal problem anymore, and it's not a prison problem either.There are 24 secret interrogation centers in the United States alone, and there are many torture prisons.It is impossible for us to know the whole truth, we can only get a glimpse of the leopard, should we say peeping violence, violence of violence.This is like an ancient book of "Bai Naben", and it has to be pieced together to get a complete writing.For example, the Associated Press reported on July 23, 2004 that among the 94 prisoner abuse cases confirmed and announced by the U.S. Army Inspector General’s Office, a total of 39 people were killed, and 20 of them were classified as murder.With just a few words, how much darkness is about to emerge. Bush Jr.: Please don't overlook the proportions of these pictures from the prisoner's personal problems. God Lee: You claimed on May 8, 2004 that the prisoner abuse incident was only done by a few soldiers, and it does not represent the 200,000 American soldiers in Iraq.However, a confidential U.S. investigation report disclosed by Reuters on May 9 confirmed that the prisoner abuse incident was related to U.S. intelligence agencies.According to the classified report, US military intelligence (MI) ordered the torture of prisoners of war to extract confessions.The female soldier who was accused of abusing prisoners of war also revealed that MI asked them to turn the prison into hell and force the prisoners to confess. The U.S. Department of Defense once approved the use of harsh interrogation methods by the U.S. military at the Guantanamo base, including disrupting sleep cycles and strong light stimulation. And some interrogation methods were applied to US military prisons in Iraq.The highest levels of the Ministry of Defense approved 20 interrogation techniques, including making prisoners of war stand for four hours straight or forcing them to strip naked when they were alone with investigators.It can be seen that this is not a personal problem. Carter: Can the UN and the international community stop it? God Lee: Where can it be stopped?But the International Red Cross has struggled to assess.The conclusion: the prisoner abuse scandal is not limited to the notorious Abu Ghraib prison, but systemic.The declassified documents of the US White House on June 22, 2004 showed that the Department of Defense had approved the use of harsh interrogation methods for Guantanamo prisoners in December 2002.After the prisoner abuse scandal broke out in the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay, the US Secretary of Defense shamelessly publicly declared that the "Geneva Convention" does not mean that all detainees, especially those so-called "illegal combatants", should be treated as prisoners of war .A similar memo from the U.S. Department of Defense also declared that the U.S. president, as commander-in-chief of the U.S. military, is not bound by U.S. law and international conventions, including the Geneva Convention that prohibits torture, to order the use of torture against detainees.The U.S. Department of Justice’s memo stated more bluntly: “The U.S. can use international law to measure the behavior of other countries on the issue of prisoners of war, but Washington itself does not have to abide by these laws.” The training that interrogators receive is to find ways to torture prisoners and extract confessions. Prisoner interrogators tell trainees that they can cause physical pain to prisoners, but technically do not go beyond the provisions of the "Geneva Convention", what a "technical" yo!In fact, the Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Prisoners of War has a total of 143 articles and 5 annexes. It is a revision and supplement to the 1929 Convention of the same name.It expands the scope of application and objects of protection of the Convention.If you want to escape "technically", you can't escape it.The so-called "technical", there is the so-called TKO in boxing matches, that is, technical knock-out, that is, "technical knock-out".What's more, the female soldier said in her statement: "The military has never presented the Geneva Convention, and we don't remember learning this convention. The first time we saw this convention was two months after being sued." Carter: I remember the trick of using voice to extract a confession. God Li: Among the tricks to extract confessions, there is one item that prohibits prisoners from eating and drinking, and forces them to listen to loud music in a completely dark environment for several days in a row, which will make you mentally collapse.This kind of music war, no Geneva can prevent it, it's so "technical".Don't forget that you Americans used this trick to deal with Panamanian leader Noriega.That time Noriega fled to the Holy See embassy in Panama to seek asylum. The American army surrounded the scene and played music loudly. Little Bush: (curious) Who is so wicked?Did such a thing, is it President Carter? Carter: (smiling) Sorry, it's your dad, President Bush. Bush Jr.: Oh, he has a good sense of music and is very good at music warfare. (Laughter.) God Lee: America is so over the top.Noriega was captured in that music battle, and Noriega was just asking for the right to return to the Panama Canal as agreed, so why go to war?Panama is only a small and powerless country with a population of 2 million. Why does the United States need to launch the largest urban air raid since World War II?At the time, U.S. Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney admitted that 50 to 60 Panamanians were killed. Independent human rights organizations found that 3,000 to 5,000 were killed, and another 25,000 were left homeless.This is how the United States deals with neighbors who do not obey orders?In fact, Noriega was born as a G-2 colonel in Panama, and he worked closely with William J. Casey, the head of the CIA in the United States, when he was engaged in intelligence.Later, after all, Noriega wanted Panama, and Casey couldn't protect him, and he refused to protect him. He was arrested in the United States and sentenced to 40 years.How decent!After invading other countries, the ruler of the country was brought back to the United States for trial. He was sentenced to 40 years and imprisoned in the United States on the grounds that the ruler violated the laws of the United States.Does the world still have international law?What a fool! Bush Jr.: Well, it gets more and more complicated.In short, regarding the so-called prisoner abuse case in the United States, God Lee cannot listen to all the outsiders. God Lee: One-sided words?What I listened to was all from your American side. According to your investigation report on the abuse of prisoners of war by Maj. Gen. Antonio M Taguba, there are as many as 21 methods of abuse by the US military. Bush Jr.: With regard to human rights issues, it is unavoidable that those who implement at the lower levels will make mistakes. God Lee: Lower level?Your Secretary of Defense publicly declared back in 2002 that the United States was no longer bound by the Geneva Conventions in the war on terror.Is your mod a subunit? Bush Jr.: Even if we have problems with foreign human rights.The human rights situation in our country is good, and there is no abuse of prisoners in our country. God Li: No prisoner abuse?虐待囚犯是家常便饭,单就性侵害一项,美国司法部2005年6月公布的统计报告招认:2004年美国监狱管教系统共收到约8210起性暴力侵害事件的指控,其中42%是狱吏对犯人的性侵犯。监狱中,发生在囚犯对囚犯的身上,是另一问题,发生在狱吏身上,就是管理问题了。谈到性侵犯,当然女囚犯更惨。据美国司法部2005年4月24日发表的报告,监狱里有近50%的女囚犯遭到性侵犯。 小布什:一半?数字没错? 上帝李:一半,数字正确。 小布什:看这样女人真不能坐牢了,得在外面才能自保。 上帝李:外面?外面哪里?FBI2005年10月发表的报告,2004年,美国有94635名女性被强奸,强奸比率达到10万分之63.5,比2003年增加千分之八,另据美国国防部2005年12月23日公布的一项调查,至少有6%的美国陆军、海军和空军学院的女学员称,在2004至2005学年中受到性侵犯,约一半或以上的人说曾受到性骚扰。在美军事预备役和国民警卫队中,多达60%的妇女和27%的男士受到性侵犯和性骚扰,其中遭强奸的妇女达11%。 小布什:哦。 上帝李:美国人口口声声人权、人权,可是它自己国内的冤狱,比例却十分惊人。乔治亚州的罗伯特克拉克(Robert Clark Jr.)做了24年冤狱后,经DNA检测,证明无罪而获释。克拉克只是164个经DNA检测宣布无罪的服刑最长的一位。2005年12月21日,美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)赖瑞金节目(Larry King Live)访问了4位最新因DNA检测证明无罪的人,在获释前均已服刑10年以上。洛杉矶著名的刑事犯罪辩护律师马克杰拉格斯(Mark Geragos)根据一项研究认为,美国有约20%的犯罪定罪属于误判,这就是说,美国的冤狱,占了五分之一。感谢DNA科技吧,法官大人落伍了。法官大人只能一翻一瞪眼,DNA大人可以一翻两瞪眼。 小布什:哦。 上帝李:事涉DNA还算好的,和DNA扯不上的,就冤枉到底了。911后,美国国会通过了包含多项侵犯人权内容的《反恐怖主义法》,该法案准许无限期拘捕移民、检查所有秘密档案、在公共和私人场所进行监视活动、偷听电话和进行秘密调查等。2003年6月,美国总检察长格伦法恩(Glenn Fine)发表的调查报告披露,911后,美国当局以违反移民法为由拘留了762名外国移民,他们平均被关押近3个月,但后来调查表明他们与911没有关联,可是牢白坐了。这可是美国总检察长说的,2003年6月3日《华盛顿邮报》白纸黑字俱在,要赖吗?赖也赖不掉了。 小布什:哦。 上帝李:好吧,小布什,你坐下吧,这一庭本是审判卡特的,可是却冒出了太多的你。 (Bush sits down.) 上帝李:(对卡特)1981年,你在告别演说中说:America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense…human rights invented America.人权真义在此,非人权出于美国,而是美国出于人权,现在,太多太多的证据与实例,证实了你这位人权总统最后把你自己缠死了。你大谈人权,但是如何面对这些难堪的“丑恶的美国人”呢?“丑恶的美国人”不但对外灰头,对内也是土脸的。美国号称是“自由的天堂”,但是,关在监狱里的荣居世界第一。据美国司法部司法统计局2005年10月23日公布的数据,到2004年底,美国监狱的犯人总数高达226.78万人,每10万人中就有724人被关着,高出其他国家25%以上。2003年至2004年间,美国在押犯的数量上,以每周900人的速度超越前进,世界第一哟。你们美国的人权啊。最妙的,你们还每年发表别人国家的人权报告,说三道四、指手画脚,多不要脸啊。 卡特:(苦笑)哦,上帝李。 上帝李:哦,卡特。Retire from the court (beat the mallet and stand up). (The curtain falls.)
