We now live in a country where it is very possible that a person can be snatched off the street, tortured, and made to disappear.  We know that this has happened to non-citizens.  How many potential protestors are cowed by the fact that our government is now capable of this?  The CIA has always been a tool of the corporations and wealthy elites, furthering their interests without any regard for civil liberties or the principles our government is supposedly built on.  The current administration stands with the Nazis at Nuremburg, devoid of any human dignity. They should all be punished, even if it takes pursuit after they leave office.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">smileyguy</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 13 Mar 2008 21:38:25 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
