You miss the point entirely, it would seem. The willingness to imprison people for life without a trial is unprecedented in American history. If this occurred in Egypt, it would not be worth mentioning. We are dealing, however, with a problem of erosion of democratic rights in a country that has long been considered exemplary on that front. It is a sign of the growing crisis of American capitalism, as might not be obvious to somebody who has not been trained to detect illnesses in the body politic.
