Rummy doesn't have "the slightest concern" about this.
My view (repeated): while we cannot expect our citizens to be treated by our
standards, or even fairly, when they are elsewhere, and they don't have the
right to expect us to intercede on their behalf, if we want to be a moral
country we *must* treat all *we* come in contact with fairly.
Guantanamo is fundamentally unfair.
The Patriot Act is fundamentally unfair.
Know your Customer is fundamentally unfair.
... going back ...
Internment of Japanese American citizens during WW II was fundamentally unfair.
... and back ...
suspension of habeas corpus during the Civil War was fundamentally unfair.
... and back ...
The Alien and Sedition Acts were fundamentally unfair.
Nobody's perfect.
