America Has Duct Tape Democracy. Will Democrats Do Diddly?

Filed under Democrats, Liberty by jclifford at 9:07 am

Imagine a man with a full head of hair and a beard. Now imagine that his head has been wrapped in duct tape. Now, imagine what it’s going to feel like when that duct tape is taken off.

A worker at the American prison at Guantanamo Bay saw this happen to a prisoner. It’s just one of the terrible things workers describe witnessing there in a new report.

It’s being done by your government in your name, with the help of the Military Commissions Act, which politicians like Senator John McCain voted to pass into law last autumn.

The Democrats are about to get control of Congress. Watch and see if they do anything about it.
