Eric Alterman, who has a blog called Altercation on the MSNBC website, has been running a series of entries about Padilla and the violations of the Constitution which are occurring under this "conservative" administration. It is a sad time when a U.S. citizen can be held indefinitely without a court hearing, at the whim of the President and his minions, and when people can be harassed in the manner of Ms. Davis. It is outrageous that our administration is supporting and defends torture. I never thought I would see the U.S. government descend to the level of our enemies, thus destroying our "moral" advantage in setting an example for the rest of the world to follow. This is a great and precious resource that the "conservative" President and his minions have squandered. Color me disgusted.
