And who knows how many US citizens have "disappeared"? They didn't want the law for no reason.
Report: Al-Qaida prisoners have ‘disappeared’ - Human Rights Watch cites U.S. for ‘ghost detainees’
The Associated Press Updated: 8:00 p.m. ET Oct. 11, 2004
"NEW YORK - At least 11 al-Qaida suspects have “disappeared†in U.S. custody, and some may have been tortured, Human Rights Watch said in a report issued Monday.
"The prisoners are probably being held outside the United States without access to the Red Cross or any oversight of their treatment, the human rights group said. In some cases, the United States will not even acknowledge the prisoners are in custody."
No longer a country governed by the rule of law, is it? In 4 years we equal the worst in the quality if not the quantity of our lawlessness, our disregard for human rights, and our greed.
Tragic.
