Insert negative anti-American remark here.

This is the shit that should scare us.
American citizen, fighting with the good guys, denied all the protection legally afforded him. Never read his rights, informed of the charges or evidence, provided legal counsel, or allowed to contact anyone. Imprisoned 97 days. And in the end, when he's exonerated, nobody even blinks. |

Thats pretty disturbing. Nice comment Tex...instead of a 'this will be a bashing US thread' why not comment on and give your thoughts?
This is a bizarre case...it will be interesting to learn more about it. And yes, it is scary that this can happen. |

But you want my thoughts? Okay: We only have one side to the story here, but assuming his version of events is true, it's a very unfortunate happening. Obviously he was mistreated, and somebody (or somebodies) made some serious mistakes. He is entitled to renumeration for what he's suffered. People are wrongfully convicted. It doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen and more often then we like to think. It doesn't mean America is on the decline. It means imperfect beings in an imperfect system sometimes make mistakes. Lastly, what's the math on a country on the downslide toward totalitarianism, permitting this man not only to publish his story with a major news outlet, but to also to file suit against them in its own courts?
