Senate apologized for inaction on lynching, will Padilla get a regret? |
|
After all, I'm kinda unclear on the huge moral difference between hanging a man without a trial and imprisoning a man incommunicado from all but his interrogators for years at time without a trial. One's dead, one might as well be; one suffers extremely but quickly, one wishes it would end.
Is it because in theory, the lynched were supposed to get trials, and Padilla isn't? Because the Commander in Chief signed a piece of paper for Padilla saying it's AOkay?
I always knew that our generation would have some aspect that we couldn't look the young people in the eye over, just like the older generation had the jim crow. This is it: Gitmo, Padilla, extraordinary rendition, torture.
