what are the bush crime gang's official definitions for: |
|
"terrorist"
"al Qaeda"
"enemy combatant"
how are we supposed to know who it's okay to talk to?
as far as I can tell, these groups are nearly totally undefined. They mean whatever a bush crime gangster wants them to mean at the moment to suit their political purpose.
having criminalized these generalities, the next step is to label their political enemies with these names, thereby criminalizing opposition. this is what they are doing now. pretty soon, they will arrest a political opponent on grounds that secret wiretaps incriminate the person. they will not have to officially charge the person, expose the details of their "crime," or give them any due process whatsoever.

Straight from the JuniperX New Collegiate BushCo Dictionary:
Terrorist = anyone who opposes BushCo
al Qaeda = anyone who opposes BushCo
enemy combatant = anyone who opposes BushCo and actually wants to do something about it

They define the enemy, they define the law, they define torture
and we are left hanging in the wind.
