In case you've forgotten who the good guys are and who the bad guys are (since no one is wearing white and black hats any more), read what Rob B. has to say. He's talking about alleged "secret prisons" and torture by the CIA. Good stuff there, I couldn't have said it better myself.
I agree with him on just about everything.
The only thing I fear is that it might escalate into secret police or random searches like in Germany and Russia. The leaders were paranoid of revolts, foreign invasions, and terrorists like in our country now.
That's why I don't have much to complain about -- he was addressing secret prisons and torture in other countries. :)
But yes, a police state in the US is a valid fear -- in fact, we're really there now, we just don't want to admit it.
