CIA torture report
So the first page of this article is just a list of supposed wrongs the CIA had done. I think is is extremely hard to write anything about it but ill think of something. Well all it talks about is how inhumane and bad the CIA interrogations were. But I think that they worked pretty darn good because if someone would torture me i would tell them what they wanted to know. So through my eyes they were getting stuff done. I dont think that anyone who did something bad enough to get into the CIA prison that they probably deserve to be tortured some. Another thing that confuses me is that the US government released the torture report that makes us look bad. You would think they might wanna hide it to make USA look better. Releasing that report was a stupid thing to do because now when Americans are taken prisoner in foreign places they will be tortured. But regardless of what is out the people of America think that all the bad news needs released to the public to know. Which I think is dumb just let the people live their fake happy lives and not have to worry about the bad stuff happening around them.

Our Aging Nuclear Arsenal
This article talks about how our country's nuclear weapons and storage facilities are old. So old that they are a danger to us. It also says that, "the people guarding the stock pile of weapons are plagued by scandals" (The Week 1). The storage facilities are so old that the blast doors wont even seal because of rust. I think that all of these places need to be repaired and actually guarded by people there to do there job. I understand that the job sucks but someone has to do it. And it says that we are receiving funds over a five year period to upgrade and improve everything that is going on. So when you think of this it is a never ending process of getting rid of old and replacing with new.

The History of Cuba and the US
So cuba got somewhat freed from spain. The whole reason they did was because of the US. And once they got free we kept them up and operating by having a military base there and spending a lot of money there. The island was a very popular spot that americas mobsters liked to hangout and gamble. In fact they practically ran the place for a while. Then they got overtook by dictators. That took all of the peoples rights. And ran the economy into the ground. They also hated america. This led to castro having the soviet union place missile silos facing florida. We took action and was willing to fight over this but they took them down quickly. Castro was a dictator over cuba for 10 presidential terms. That is a crazy long time to hurt one place. Spite the US trying to kill him dozens of times they had none successful. And he ended up stepping down because of illness.
