Secret Prisons of State Sanctioned Torture, Cooking Evidence to Brand The Innocent As "Terrorists", While Killing Habeas Corpus

Glenn Greenwald has a most thorough - and extremely important - post up about not simply the Bush Administration's decision to do away with habeas corpus (only around since the 1200s as the foundation of most sophisticated societies and democracies, but also it's embrace of torture for fun and profit and how easy it is to manufacture evidence to brand an innocent Muslim or a Bush-critical American citizen as a terrorist.

As the Christian Science Monitor stated in the weeks immediately following September 11th, one person's terrorist is another person's freedom fighter. Apt. So damned apt.

Go read Glenn.
