(27,787 posts)Is America NOW a country that tortures? Under the Bush administration it did, does America now torture, no.
Is a "kill list" something that we "now" have (as in all of a sudden), or that we have always had?
And as for your claim that we are NOW denying American citizens "due process" ... I repeat ... "Don't forget the internment camps", because there were a lot more Americans being denied due process "then", than there are "now".
yea , he better get used to the Gulags in Russia .
