well, it’s a sad day when an administration can’t rip up the constitution as well as torture it’s own citizens…

Wait…that’s sarcasm…

I’ll be interested to see how that turns out. I assume there’s a lot more detail to come. The soldier would have immediately stated he was a US citizen. Did the torturers/contractors just not bother to check out his story?
I like the part about being dumped at Baghdad airport and left to find their own way home…Where is the tea party in all this (and the whole Bush II administration)?

Not being a legal scholar I’m not sure how the constitution applies to US citizens in a warzone. I assume it should still apply esp. when in US custody, but maybe that’s a legal out for Rummy, Bush et al…
However, I would hope that if another country treated US citizens like the US treats it’s own citizens then someone in my govt. would be pissed!
