VDARE.com: 11/12/05 - Power Uber Alles: "What a hypocritical spectacle the Bush administration and the Republican Party have made of America. They boast of 'freedom and democracy' while they destroy habeas corpus and practice torture.
Americans must recognize the Bush administration and the Republican Party for what they are. They are tyrants. They are bringing evil to the world and tyranny to America.
According to the Washington Post (Nov. 11), there are 750 detainees at Guantanamo. These people have been held for 3 or 4 years. If the Bush administration had any evidence against them, it would be a simple matter to file charges.
But the Bush administration does not have any evidence against them. Most of the detainees are innocent travelers and Arab businessmen who were captured by warlords and armed gangs and sold to the Americans who offered payments for 'terrorists.'
The reason so many of them have been tortured is that the Bush administration has no evidence against them and is relying on pain and the hopelessness of indefinite detention to induce self-incrimination. The Bush administration is desperate to produce some 'terrorists.'
What has become of the American people that they permit the despicable practices of tyrants to be practiced in their name? The Bush administration is in violation of the US Constitution, the rule of law, the Geneva Convention, the Nuremberg Standard, and basic humanity. It is a gang of criminals. The Republican Party is so terrified of losing power that it supports a tyrannical administration that has brought shame not just to the Republican name but to all Americans.
When a Republican next campaigns, all he can say is 'vote for me because I want power to lock you up and torture you.'
