Reminds you that W needed to be impeached too. How quickly we have forgotten the crimes of his administration.

The author's ordeal was all too reminescent of Kaka's "The Trial" -- held for no reason, no explanation, not allowed to contact his family, requests for a doctor ignored. A private company was in control of his incarceration and did nothing to pursue justice, but only held him as long as the gov't didn't say to do otherwise ... no one was ever held responsible.
