Several hundred peaceful protestors arrested and tortured by DC police. How can anyone support this kind of thing?
OK, let's take a quick quiz, shall we?
1. Arresting people who have committed no crime is:
A. A bad idea.
B. Absolutely wrong.
C. Totally and completely fucked up.
D. A valuable tool to stop not only terrorists but those who would make common cause with them by weakening Americans' resolve through criticism of the governments actions.
2. Torture of prisoners is:
A. A bad idea.
B. OK if only done by "low-grade" methods like exposing them to minor injurious and disease-causing conditions, sleep deprivation, dehydration, etc.
C. Totally and completely fucked up.
D. A good tool for breaking the resolve of those who would weaken America by criticizing their government's actions.
If you answered anything but C, then you are a worthless human being and next time you are looking for the cause of America's problems, find a mirror.
If you answered "D", then you are one of the growing number of hard-core followers of Ashcroft, and are absolutely clueless about what's in your own long-term best interest, let alone that of the country. It is people like you who will destroy America by turning it into exactly the terrorist dictatorship that you pretend to abhor. You are a far greater threat to America than Osama bin Laden could ever dream of being.
