Whoa whoa whoa..
Are you reading your own papers? Folks have been held for 'questioning' for
long periods of time, even when there are no charges against them. There
are people living in, well, not necessarily fear of their lives, but at
least persecution and prosecution, for saying anything against Bush and his
li'l 'war on terror'. Civil liberties are getting run over in this fervor
of 'poor little misunderstood US, yeah, us with the big army and a chip on
our shoulder.' "Hey you with the dust in your eye--lemee help you brush it
out. Oops, I'm sorry--did I just hit you in the head with the plank
sticking outta my own eye?"
