whatever it takes.

It's hard to believe, and unconscionable, that this sort of thing is happening in AMERICA. How easy it is to get sheeple to go along with cruelty.

Once a coworker said to me something about the reason for torture or some other unAmerican activity (maybe it was surveillance w/o court order) that it results in good things for America. There's a reason for them.

I responded that of COURSE there's a reason for the unAmerican act. There is ALWAYS a reason. Otherwise, the people wouldn't go along with it and the govt wouldn't want to do it. But that's an explanation...not a reason for our country to behave in an unAmerican way, whether invasive of freedom of privacy or cruelty.

Like the line in Apocalypse Now: The horror, the horror.

I'm also worried about smaller children being "incarcerated" with larger ones, & getting picked on. I'm also worried about long lasting psychological damage to the minors.

Did we learn nothing about when we incarcerated the American Japanese during WWII?
