Yes, 'undecidable' is used for a similar class of mathematical problems. For example, the continuum hypothesis - another question about an equality of sets - is undecidable in ZFC. This notion is strongly related to undecidability on Turing machines (possibly equivalent, depending on how you look at it).

You're misunderstanding something. P=NP is about whether two sets are equal. If it's "undecidable" or "independent", then ZFC is consistent with either P=NP or P \neq NP.

prisoners of war

These men are not prisoners of war. The United States cannot declare them as prisoners of war without gross legal ramifications.

I think a lot of people aren't aware of this, but the US has helped (sometimes very directly) to overthrow quite a few democracies. Look at Iran, and their transition to the Shah; or Allende/Pinochet and Milton Friedman's experiments.

Money laundering is part of the criminalization of victimless drug use. That's why they were created, and that's how they're used. Nothing more, nothing less.

Your claim made me curious. According to the American Banker's Association, the Bank Secrecy Act was motivated by fears over foreign bank schemes and crime (specifically, the ABA mentions white collar crime). The law also sought to correct practical problems, such as grocery stores failing to photocopy checks. I think this undermines your main point about drugs, along with the fact that the "war on drugs" started after the BSA was passed in 1970.
