Classical Spin

Rantings and ravings on politics, philosophy, and things that fall into the ether of 'none of the above'.

I'm so glad I live in the best country in the world.

The rest of the civilized world is, once more, pointing out to the US that really, since we've got such a little habit of invading and destroying sovereign nations in the name of liberty and democracy and freedom and justice, we really ought to have fair trials. This would mean a bit less with the prison camps and a bit more with, you know, the Constitution and due process and justice.

The situation in Guantanamo represents American hypocrisy at it's best (worst): We're working on fighting the Evil Terrorists who want to Hurt Us, and we're Defending Liberty and Fighting For Justice. In order to do so? Well, a lot of non-Christians get locked away and don't get a trial, but, hey, it's for the Greater Good of America, right?
