Land of the Free
Two items of news from yesterday:-
* In a victory for the Bush administration, a federal judge labels extraordinary rendition a "state secret" -- despite all evidence to the contrary.
* US President George W. Bush said Thursday he plans to veto legislation passed by the Senate to bar the CIA from using harsh interrogation methods including waterboarding.
The only link to freedom in either of these articles is the freedom of the American Government to do whatever it wants.
