「慰安婦を否定するのか!」単身渡米した堺市議を待ち構えた韓国メディア 「正論」を「妄言」と報じる〝超偏向〟
なんていうか、現状もわからず、戦略のない突撃の繰り返しをみているのは、なにか、こっちもつらくなってくるよなああ。

While Cheney spoke out in defense of the program, moderator Chuck Todd asked his guest “when you say waterboarding is not torture, then why did we prosecute Japanese soldiers in World War II for waterboarding?”
For his part, the former Vice President called out Todd for taking a “cheap shot” in comparing Japanese war criminals to CIA agents:
For a lot of stuff. Not for waterboarding. They did an awful lot of other stuff. To draw some kind of moral equivalent between waterboarding, judged by our Justice Department not to be torture, and what the Japanese did with the Bataan Death March and the slaughter of thousands of Americans, with the rape of Nanking and all of the other crimes they committed, that's an outrage.
It's a really cheap shot, Chuck, to even try to draw a parallel between the Japanese who were prosecuted for war crimes after World War II and what we did with waterboarding three individuals all of whom were guilty and participated in the 9/11 attacks.
"If you don't violate someone's human rights some of the time, you probably aren't doing your job," said one official
'Unlawful combatants do not have any rights under the Geneva Convention,'' ''We have indicated that we do plan to, for the most part, treat them in a manner that is reasonably consistent with the Geneva Conventions, to the extent they are appropriate.''
Japanese revisionists would be happy to cite American officials to "justify " the "prosecution of unlawful Chinese combatants" in Nanking in 1937.

@HirokoTabuchi @matt_a_thorn_en @Kishakishi 御尤も。日本語は日本文化の縮図。否応無しに上下関係を気にしないと正しく使えない。敬語も世界観。社会の変化を反映し、幸いに「女言葉」が絶滅品種。種。http://www.iwanami.co.jp/hensyu/sin/sin_kkn/kkn1208/sin_k665.html …

@jakeadelstein @matt_a_thorn_en @Kishakishi I feel it's not so much 上下関係 that's the issue in Japanese. It's the 外内 distinction. 敬語 is..

@jakeadelstein @matt_a_thorn_en @Kishakishi based almost entirely on 内 or 外 distinctions. That really reflects Japanese society.

@HirokoTabuchi @matt_a_thorn_en @Kishakishi 外内・上下--makes socialisation difficult. 社会部内の後輩が記者クラブでの先輩なら、どちらが上なのか。政治部記者は外か内?上か下?他社の記者は?悩むばかり。

「社外の人との関係で自分の会社の人は例え社長でも身内扱い」するが、その社長にむかって、「おまえさああ」とかいえるわけではない。やはり、その社長には敬語を使うわけである。
自分ー友人ーーーーーーーー社長ーーーー社外
社会部内の後輩が記者クラブでの先輩なら、どちらが上なのか。
@lorimorimoto @matt_a_thorn_en @jakeadelstein Exactly. I feel keigo's enforced politeness twd outsiders ultimately reinforces exclusions.
Interesting. Far-right party that called for Japan to scrap its pacifist constitution etc did disastrously http://www.chunichi.co.jp/s/article/2014
Like many across the U.S., these men were victims of a judicial system that has come to heavily favor the prosecution over defendants in pre-trial negotiations. Harsh sentences are often used as a potent threat to push defendants to agree to plea bargains in order to avoid long prison terms or the death penalty. Kagonyera and Wilcoxson, for example, pleaded guilty only to avoid the possibility of a death sentence, according to their lawyers. This process is particularly evident in cases involving drugs.
Jury trials in the U.S. have become incredibly rare. Practically all cases that are not dismissed are settled in plea bargains. In some cases, even innocent people like Kagonyera and Wilcoxson plead guilty to avoid harsh sentences. Conservative estimates place the number of defendants who plead guilty to crimes they didn’t commit in the tens of thousands. Of the 1476 exonerations tracked by the University of Michigan Law School’s National Registry of Exonerations since 1989, 13 percent of innocent defendants provided false confessions.
Dusty Christensen: Of federal cases that aren’t dismissed, over 97 percent are resolved in plea bargains before the case ever goes to trial. In state cases, the number is about 94 percent. How has this disappearance of jury trials affected the impartiality of America’s judicial system? Why is this such a problem?
Jed S. Rakoff: Because the cases are resolved in negotiations between the prosecutor and the defense counsel, in which the prosecutor holds most of the power, the criminal justice system has become one-sided. This is a problem because the negotiations are secret and not subject to meaningful judicial review, the imbalance in negotiating power leads to over-incarceration (with 2.2 million Americans presently imprisoned), and in some cases, innocent people plead guilty to escape the high risks attendant on going to trial in an era of mandatory minimum sentences and severe sentencing guidelines.
DC: In your recent piece for the New York Review of Books, you conservatively estimate that 20,000 or more people could potentially be in prison because they were pressured into taking a plea deal for a crime they did not commit. How do prosecutors use mandatory sentencing and sentencing guidelines as powerful weapons that force many defendants to take plea deals instead of going to trial?
JSR: The average sentence for defendants who go to trial and are convicted is three times the average sentence for similar defendants who plead guilty. A defendant who is actually innocent but who was involved in suspicious circumstances may decide to “reduce his risk” by pleading guilty to a lesser offense; or the defendant, especially if young, uneducated or of low intelligence, may simply not be able to face the stress of a trial where, if convicted, he will face many years in prison.
DC: How do the issues of class and race fit into this equation of who receives an equitable plea bargain or their day in court?
JSR: Regarding class, lawyers and investigators have become so expensive that only genuinely wealthy defendants can afford the kinds of lawyers who can mount an effective defense in the face of suspicious circumstances. Conversely, legal aid lawyers are often overburdened and therefore are predisposed to cut a deal.
