Bush denounced Iran on national television and it played repeatedly on all major channels and on virtually every news program.
The people being held are not being held as Taliban or prisoners of war. They are being held without charges as suspected terrorists. We don't whether they're guilty or not. Not only are there no charges, there are almost no trials.
Most of the people seized in Afghanistan and Irag were picked up in blind sweeps (they were picked up at random and no evidence was collected). The idea was to extract information from the torture of people at random.
If people are innocent until proven guilty. Yes. Bush is detaining hundreds, maybe thousands of innocent people, including Canadians and Americans.
After 911, Ashcroft conducted blind sweeps of American Muslims and imprisoned them without charges in New York.
Bush and his people are a disgrace to our country. No doubt about it.
