My God, we have "Night and Fog", the full range of Gestapo tactics. Now. In the US.
Pull your head out of the sand. And it's illegal to even talk about the arrests, so we have to assume there are one hell of a lot. Or they wouldn't mind talking about them.
Fascism is here now, in the form of True Believers, Conservatives and George W. Bush.
That's just elemental and basic. The ROW is well aware of that, and doesn't like or trust the US any more than any other fascist government.
We have yer secret arrests, torture, no access to courts, renditions, more torture, right now. Guantanamo, that blight upon humanity, is one of the more tolerable places.
