Tens of thousands of Americans are being held in super-maximum-security prisons where they are deprived of contact and psychologically destroyed. Undocumented workers are rounded up and vanish from their families for weeks or months. Militarized police units break down the doors of some 40,000 Americans a year and haul them away in the dead of night as if they were enemy combatants. Habeas corpus no longer exists. American citizens can “legally” be assassinated. Illegal abductions, known euphemistically as “extraordinary rendition,” are a staple of the war on terror. Secret evidence makes it impossible for the accused and their lawyers to see the charges against them. All this was experienced by the Argentines. Domestic violence, whether in the form of social unrest, riots or another catastrophic terrorist attack on American soil, would, I fear, see the brutal tools of empire cemented into place in the homeland. At that point we would embark on our own version of the Dirty War. (Read entire article.)Via A Conservative Blog for Peace. Share

A bit of biased reporting from a member of a progressive-leftist think tank?
I don't know. I never heard of any of them before. However, I did find the site through a conservative blog run by a journalist friend of mine.
I hope you do not feel insulted! The Nation Institute is a little known bastion of progressive thought!
Oh, no, not insulted at all. Just because I have not heard of something does not mean much. ;-}
DT, I know. The sheer impudence of these leftists who think those swarthy types should also be treated like humans.
Google the medicines unnecessarily given and at unusually high doses to prisoners at Guantanamo that just happens to have psychosis as a side-effect.
