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.

Date: 2007-01-18 10:31 pm (UTC)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.
