Scared.

The American government has voted to do away with the central human right, the one that makes possible the defense of all the others - the right to know why one is being locked up, and to have the public know it, too. This was the issue that was the catalyst for the French Revolution.

I have no say in this whatsoever - not even a vote, since I'm not American. Some of you do. So, a link: a list of the names of those in the government who voted for it. Vote them out of office, one and all. Vote in people who will repeal this law. If you really believe in liberty, do this. The rest of the world is watching to see which Americans can still claim any measure of morality at all.

Torture for everyone!

Personally, I think the only effective way to demonstrate that this is not acceptable is to waterboard every single member of congress and the senate. Then when they have real applicable knowledge of what they're condoning then ask them whether it's ok to do that to prisoners over and over again.

I'm not joking, it's time they got a taste of what they approve.

It didn't work on McCain, who has been tortured (while a POW in Viet Nam) and still caved in to this insane bill.
