Where did we think we'd end up if not here?

Every post Reagan president, particularly since GWB and the Patriot Act, has chipped away at our access to the courts.

What did we think the next step was going to be once the FBI began to entrap Muslim men on bogus 'terrorist' plots and send them to Guantanamo indefinitely? Or once the US began to use rendition sites all over the world? Or when the US rewrote the rules about the use of torture?

Everything that the US said was ok to use on an 'enemy' was eventually absolutely going to be turned back on us.

How could we *not* think this was going to be next?
