Bush's Kangaroo Courts

Who, in the world, would want to be anything like the U.S. is under Bush?

The words freedom and Democracy are filthy words when uttered by this administration of hypocrites and liars.

tbe Progressive American:

Congress is dithering and the American public doesn't even seem particularly concerned as the administration of George W. Bush systematically trashes such fundamental American values as justice, due process, respect for human rights and submission to the rule of law.

In the kangaroo courts that the administration concocted to try detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a defendant could be prevented from seeing the evidence against him, would not have the right to attend his own trial and would not have the right to appeal the sentence to a civilian court.

That's slapstick justice, a process worthy of the Marx Brothers:

'You have been accused of being a terrorist.'

'Where is the evidence?'

'We can't show it to you.'

'That's ridiculous.'

'So is this court. We find you guilty. Take him away.'
