Yes and Yes.

Of course most of the Guantanamo inmates were detained after running a cookie drive for the girl-guides of Kabul....

Frankly....I think this is a waste of time.

Have you spent some time in a country where Sharia laws rule or Zimbabwe or seen the result of making a little too much political noise in Bejing....then compare your experience to a few months spent in the USA.

Lord knows its not perfect, but least they have a Bill or Rights, something sadly lacking in Oz.
