One of the most striking signs of our government’s complete immorality and incompetence is that they have turned the architect of 9/11 into a victim of human rights abuses. In a saner country, right now we would be gloating over his lawful trial and conviction, patting ourselves on the back for being a country that can bring even the worst of the worst to justice. We would be pointing to his imprisonment as proof that our system works, and pointing to his trial as evidence of our superiority, that we have nothing to hide and nothing to fear from an open airing of the facts.
