Wasting your time. There is not a single right-wing fanatic on this list (or in dittoland) who will give a damn about what we did to this poor bastard. It's far too easy to scream "war against terror" to justify anything they want to do or cover up. The fact that Bush and Ashcroft between them are in the process of jettisoning much of what makes America WORTH defending in the first place is completely lost on Rush and his hateful, hate-filled clones. This is why Dubya is the worst president we've ever had, and John Ashcroft is by far the worst Attorney-General (by such a far margin that he makes Edwin Meese and John Mitchell look almost acceptable by comparison). I know this sounds inflammatory and I don't care. I don't see how anyone can defend men who can perpetrate such an outrageous injustice. There is nothing that justifies this, nothing at all. If we can't defeat our enemies by any other means than by becoming them, then we don't deserve to win. This guy did nothing and they treated him like he personally guided the planes into the Twin Towers by wire. George Bush and John Ashcroft are the worst kind of scum - men who hide despicable actions behind airy, lofty motives. They don't even have the guts to admit their villainy.
