Hello Dana, Secret trials...heck with the latest thrashing of our cherished Miranda rights you can now be tortured into giving evidence against yourself. They can't use the actual 'statement', but if while being beaten with a baton, you give them a pointer towards (planted?) evidence, then that evidence can and WILL be used against you in a court of law. This is forced confession pure and simple and it applies to you and me...not just terrorists (ah..unpopular thinkers).
We have the Powell's playing lap dogs to the corporations, one selling war and the other selling the ability to sweep it under the American idol carpet ....so to speak. It is very disturbing and I'm beginning to believe the real conspiracy is they've convinced everyone there isn't one...it's just too damn organized in singular direction ... regardless of who's in office for one to believe we have any real choices as voters.
