Is you being an asshole at every turn a habit with you? I made a mistake in wording by not looking over my post, he corrected it and I asked him if my reading his tone was correct, rather than just assuming it was. This being the internet, it's hard to read people's tones correctly.
Anywho, bruce don't you think we could have given this guy fair justice? That's why I'm against these kinds of systems, because too many people innocent of their crimes were put in them. We don't think they deserve any kind of due process, that they're guilty before innocent. And horror stories like these, which are likely not the norm, just serve to inflame anti-american sentiments.
It's just another symptom of this new concept of war. The bush administration is probably the first I've ever heard saying that this war will be 'faught in the shadows.' Pretty much the entire republican candidacy came out in favor of torture. What ever happened to 'holding ourselves to a higher standard?' Of course these abuses and things usually happen anyway, but there's been an attempt to control them. Now they seem the norm. Kinda smells to me.
