U.S. War prisons legal vacuum for 14,000

Once again the Bush administration have proved why they care little for humanity, the Constitution and just about anything except their profits.

In the few short years since the first shackled Afghan shuffled off to Guantanamo, the U.S. military has created a global network of overseas prisons, its islands of high security keeping 14,000 detainees beyond the reach of established law.

14,000, FOURTEEN THOUSAND people were captured, questioned, tortured, and held for years without so much of a reason why they were detained.

Captured on battlefields, pulled from beds at midnight, grabbed off streets as suspected insurgents, tens of thousands now have passed through U.S. detention, the vast majority in Iraq.

Can you imaging what would have happened if Emperor Bush got his way and did that here like he wanted? Remember when he tried to give the army the power to enforce domestic law like police? There would be riots, uprisings, bombings, attacks, and general civil unrest. Just like what's happening over there.

We're causing the problems in Iraq. They've been getting worse since they got there.

Bush got what he wanted though. Oil company profits are higher than they've been in human history.
