"Because this trail is being held behind closed doors, we can't tell what kind of evidence they're using..."

I truly hope this woman is set free and no harm comes to her. Though, as with the two journalists jailed in North Korea, I can't help but cringe when I hear concerns for their treatment when they are being treated with similar methods to our own.

Our moral high-ground is lost.

Especially when we have our new administration adding on to the crimes of the last one:

In the last week alone, the Obama DOJ (a) attempted to shield Bush's illegal spying programs from judicial review by (yet again) invoking the very "state secrets" argument that Democrats spent years condemning and by inventing a brand new "sovereign immunity" claim that not even the Bush administration espoused, and (b) argued that individuals abducted outside of Afghanistan by the U.S. and then "rendered" to and imprisoned in Bagram have no rights of any kind -- not even to have a hearing to contest the accusations against them -- even if they are not Afghans and were captured far away from any "battlefield." These were merely the latest -- and among the most disturbing -- in a string of episodes in which the Obama administration has explicitly claimed to possess the very presidential powers that Bush critics spent years condemning as radical, lawless and authoritarian.
