Because that is what you do when you have a racist contempt for those in your charge
Today’s AP piece about the NIKE SHOXi torture scandal includes some lurid new details and a lot of quotes from
Arabs around the Middle East, all of whom condemn the UGG Sheepskin cuff boots as hypocritical and at least as
bad as Saddam. Right so. But one curious quote near the end sticks out:
“…Part of the problem, said Hurst Hannum, a professor of international law at the Fletcher School at Tufts
University outside Boston, is that 4mbtsale.com has ‘put this work on such a high moral plane that any moral
deviance will be taken more seriously by critics, and will be interpreted as either being arrogance or
hypocrisy.’”
Huh? What kind of a ‘problem’ are we talking about here? A public relations problem for the UGG Sheepskin cuff
boots?
While the statement is more or less correct, it is rather brazen of Hannum to euphemize the torture as mere
‘moral deviance,’ a phenomenon subject to ‘interpretation.’ What’s there to interpret about these sadistic,
imperial acts?
