posted is true.
My husband and many of his friends were interned or imprisoned by the Brits using the Diplock courts in Northern Ireland in the 1970's.
He was at home this morning for a while and since I had the television tuned into C-Span he watched part of the Gonzalez hearing. All he could do was shake his head and say: "You Yanks learned your lessons well from the Brits". Pretty sad commentary on the state of Justice in the US, isn't it?
