Цитата:
With its jails in Iraq and Afghanistan, and, of course, Guantánamo in Cuba, where detainees
are abused, and kept indefinitely without trial and without access to the due process of the law,
America certainly has its gulag now. Bush and his allies in Congress recently announced they
would issue no information about the secret CIA "black site" prisons throughout the world, which are
used to incarcerate people who have been seized off the street.

Bush supporters in state legislatures in several states put pressure on regents at state universities
to penalise or fire academics who have been critical of the administration. As for civil servants, the
Bush administration has derailed the career of one military lawyer who spoke up for fair trials for
detainees, while an administration official publicly intimidated the law firms that represent detainees
pro bono by threatening to call for their major corporate clients to boycott them.
Elsewhere, a CIA contract worker who said in a closed blog that "waterboarding is torture" was
stripped of the security clearance she needed in order to do her job.

Even as Americans were focused on Britney Spears's meltdown and the question of who fathered
Anna Nicole's baby, the New York Times editorialised about this shift: "A disturbing recent
phenomenon in Washington is that laws that strike to the heart of American democracy have been
passed in the dead of night ... Beyond actual insurrection, the president may now use military
troops as a domestic police force in response to a natural disaster, a disease outbreak, terrorist
attack or any 'other condition'."
Critics see this as a clear violation of the Posse Comitatus Act - which was meant to restrain the
federal government from using the military for domestic law enforcement. The Democratic senator
Patrick Leahy says the bill encourages a president to declare federal martial law. It also violates the
very reason the founders set up our system of government as they did: having seen citizens bullied
by a monarch's soldiers, the founders were terrified of exactly this kind of concentration of militias'
power over American people in the hands of an oppressive executive or faction.
неужели американцы о своих ужасах только в англии говорить/писать могут
? с их то Свободой
?
что они там обычно говорят про тоталитарный режим и демократию? в этой картинке, некогда
созданной в умах с помощью проамериканской массовой культуры, теперь для того, кто
ознакомился с материалами по событиям, на к-рые Вульф указывает, даже самого либерально
настроенного, нашего соотечественника поменялись местами Советский союз и сша.
