NO RIGHTS FOR SOME MEANS MORE GOVERNMENT HYPOCRACY
I can remember a time when--after--9-11 happened, that Bush swearing up and down the political spectrum that he would be bringing the 9-11 masterminds to justice.
Oddly enough, that obsession for "justice" has swiftly turned into a nightmare for all Americans.
Instead of upholding the Constitution and the law of the land, Bush has decided that what he says goes, and anyone who disagrees with him to be branded "unpatriotic".
So now, we have a rogue President that says: "Detainees have no rights!"
Oh, really?
Strangely enough, Moussaoui got a trial. What about the guy whom threatened to blow up the Space Needle and LAX? He got a trial too!
Weren't both of them terrorists?
So what makes these guys different than the ones whom are being held without rights in Guantanamo Bay? Or are there different definitions of 'terrorist' that we don't yet know about?
For a nation that was built on civil and human rights, shouldn't we uphold the same principles which allowed us to try and convict these other aforementioned terrorists in a court of law?
Sadly, Bush doesn't think so.
