There is no question that America, under the leadership of the Bush administration, has developed extensive systems of abuse and continues with outrageous illegal behavior, in the name of its brand of Freedom.

Amnesty recently criticized the Bush administration's treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay, calling the facility "the gulag of our times," a reference to political prisoners held by the former Soviet Union.

7. first time I've seen it
a devastating read - what kills me is not so much these thieving bastards were able to stall that moronic, incompetent piece of shit into the White House - but that they are STILL able to convince some Americans to support him

3. The Best quote off that link is....
"I wonder whether or not when America begins to see "Made In Guantanamo" on its products, will its citizens act to remove Bush, or will they celebrate the lower prices?"


Very telling.
