I'm not really surprised at how we treat foreign detainees, especially when one looks at how we treat our home folks.
Seems like anytime we get someone in a position where they must totally rely on our sense of fairness and mercy, we treat them with neither. I'm starting to feel like I belong to a nation of bullies.
