We are such a scary country
I am an American. Born and raised here. Have never left the country (to my dismay.) My parents are both retired military and hard-core conservative Republicans (again to my dismay.) You would think this upbringing would have made me more receptive to the idea of secret terror prisons worldwide.
Oddly enough, it hasn't.

Truly appauling.
But what really horrifies me is that we're using The War Against Terror (TWAT) as an excuse to arrest and detain American citizens on US soil without due process.
Looking back on my US History and Civics classes back in High School, it's like I was learning about a completely different country than the one in which I live.
Yeah. The whole American justice system is pretty screwed up right now. I shudder to think that George Bush has control over our pandemic-preparedness. In fact, I try not to think about it at all...makes it easier to sleep at night. On the bright side though, I love that you've given the war on terror that abbreviation. Fabulous :)
