What is wrong with us?

Did anyone actally read that article? Canada refused this Iranian family's petition (wrongly, acccording to the article). They kicked out the family and sent them back to Iran. They stopped in the US and tried to reenter Canada again with forged paperwork. Of course, they were held by immigration. There is no evidence they were mistreated.

It's the attitude du jour.

And they say the US strives to protect freedom and other liberal values. Good god. I'm afraid I may never be able to face a hard-core conservative (i.e. pro-torture, anti illegal-immigrant) again without slapping them. I just hate how worked up everyone is over the ev0l immigrants stealing all the jobs, when this shit goes pretty much unnoticed in comparison. Guantanamo, Hutto, who knows what else…

For sure. Kinda makes you feel like saying you're religious for a few moments so you can imagine their flesh burning. Mmm. Just as a side note, has anyone read the latest issue of Mother Jones, an article called <a href="http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2008/03/am-i-a-torturer.html" rel="nofollow">Am I A Torturer?</a> by Justine Sharrock? It's all about prisons in Iraq and a few of the people that worked in them and participated in torturing Iraqi prisoners. It's another good article if you want to look at more of the way America allows prisons to be inhumane and abusive to people of other countries/races.

Most of the American men were gone, of course, unless they were 4F, so having healthy young men around to do some of the hardest labor was worth paying for if a person had the money. The younger women were cautious and encouraged to be so, of course, but Grandma said the men were always very nice and very polite to her. (Probably didn't hurt that she was a drop-dead gorgeous redhead.) They had a curfew but during the day were pretty much free to come and go as they pleased. Remember, now, these were soldiers from a country with whom we were at that time at war. Nazi soldiers to be exact. I can't quite put my finger one why we would imprison men, women and children today the way we imprisoned Japanese-Americans...wait! Aren't these people predominantly Not White, like the Japanese-Americans? You don't suppose...naw. It can't be racism. We're in a post-racist America! CNN said so and they wouldn't lie, would they? /blinks innocently/ Growing up, my grandmother would tell stories about the German POWs during the war coming into town, going to the stores, buying things to send home to their families, getting odd jobs around town.
