Since the Bush government merely claimed...

...that the detainees were guilty, well, then that is good enough it seems for the sheep.

Who needs a trial?
Guilty because my government told me so.

1. It's not only about Gitmo prisoners.

There's a mindset among conservatives that says if you're accused you must be guilty, that is unless you're a cop, CEO, banker, or a leader in any other group they seem to worship.

2. It's more then that

It comes down to feelings toward the Muslim community that I think many Americans have held for years, but because they were too afraid to be called bigots they kept those feelings to themselves.

When it became acceptable, those "Americans" felt free to reveal what they truly thought about these "people".

That should have been evident to anyone who paid attention, like when law enforcement started rounding up Muslims after 9-11, and the outcry against the injustice was even less then a whisper. When a Muslim man died in Federal custody and no one cared.

This just proves that Nazi Germany wasn't a fluke, this shows that Americans are just as capable of doing what Hitler did and finding justification for it.

These people aren't sheep, they're just like all those "Good Germans" who thought it was a good idea, and then ignored the smoke and smell coming from those chimney stacks!

Home of the brave my ass!!!!!
