People arrested and disappearing with no trace, no representation, no protection from any form of abuse.

That's not civilized. And it results in people being treated the way they have been in Iraq. And Guantanamo. And Afghanistan. By Americans.

Why is it necessary to arrest people and not allow representation unless one is going to arrest innocent people?

And why is it necessary to suspend all basic Human Rights protections unless one plans on abusing them?

And we've seen how Rumsfelds policies are carried out. Massive, systemic abuse when the Geneva Convention was refuted, when basic protections were disallowed.

And the same conditions prevail in America. So far no photos. And they won't tell you unless you already know, do they?
