The ACLU's Executive Director, Anthony Romero says:
" . . detainees should be prosecuted in our traditional courts, which are the best in the world . . "
Where did you get that from, Romero? Hollywood? Judge Sally sitcoms?
As long as stupid Americans keep thinking (like Roman emperors just before the fall) that all their self-made myths are true, the less likely you'll ever arrest your downward spiral.
I know this is a really big stretch, but Americans really need to try facing THE TRUTH rather than perpetuating THE MYTHS.
US courts are better than Guantanamo's kangaroo courts, Yes.
Does that necessarily make them the "best in the world"? No.
