Serious News
Now, I don't like to bring everyone down with serious posts about stuff in the world. But I feel like highlighting something that was on CBS news tonight.
The United States has detained 10,000 "enemy combatants." Ten Thousand. Wow. That is a lot of people. No trial, no hearing, no attorney, no outside contact. The CBS story focused on four or five journalists who had been incarcerated following negative stories about the US military. We should all be very concerned, especially those of us who are not yet US citizens. The constitution, the Court has said, applies only to Americans, not, for instance, Canadians living in America under valid visas. Be afraid.
