"Under what other American administration were thousands of people imprisoned, sexually and physically abused, denied basic human rights, denied access by a lawyer or family members, and put into solitary confinement for months - all without even being charged..."
Pretty much any administration prior to 1970 or thereabouts? Hell, we used to treat our own citizens like that on a regular and legal basis. I believe the politically correct term for them back then was "Negroes".
Idealism is great. History shows how little of it there ever has been.
