New rules
Let me get this straight:
You can be jailed without being charged with anything.
You do not have the right to know why you have been detained.
You cannot be tortured, so the torturers will simply change the definition of torture.
You can be executed on the basis of testimony that you've given while you are beingtortured enthusiastically questioned.
You can be executed on the basis of evidence given by someone else, while that person was being tortured.
If your lawyer wants to defend you, he or she has to run it by the government first.
We can hold you as long as we like. "Until hostilities cease" is a funny phrase in the context of perpetual war against abstract concepts.
I feel like I'm repeating myself most of the time.
This is so wrong.

Amnesty International might be a good charity to support at this time... They're running an ad campaign in DC's bus terminals right now, huge ads with "The America We Believe In Does Not Torture" or something like that. $43 pays for a day.

Though I suppose my intelligence is insulted by people who think that if they change the name of something, it won't be as horrible.

Y'know what really makes me sick? The Irish Republic let the American Government force an agreement that allows the CIA and FBI to enter the home of any Irish citizen, arrest them, take them back to America, fuck with/sieze their property, search their home, ad nauseum, over the terror issue.
It makes me sick. Do they do this to the fucking Orangemen in the North? I'm certain they do not.

When yahoo! search came up with the list of search results, I listed the first one. This is just a case of oversight.
On the other hand, consider this:
It's necessary to pay attention to what these people are doing in order to guarantee that we can educate people against them. For example, no one paid attention to what Hitler promised to do in 'Mein Kampf'. We in the Left need to be watching what these people do. So, in all truth, some of us should be watching what these people are writing and saying.
For example, if you look at my most recent entry, I found out on the web that there is now a white power version of the Olsen twins. I'm going to share the article with my students, who are largely of color. I intend to further butress my assertion with them that they need to be exceedingly cynical towards the media.
