That's right, so long as you include the radical notion that sometimes, just sometimes, the United States is in the wrong. For example, consider this bit of good news from
http://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=2400470:
"ABC News has learned that President Bush will announce that high-value detainees now being held at secret CIA prisons will be transferred to the Department of Defense and granted protections under the 1949 Geneva Conventions. It will be the first time the Administration publicly acknowledges the existence of the prisons.
"A source familiar with the president's announcement says it will apply to all prisoners now being held by the CIA, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the Sept.11 attacks, and senior al Qaeda leader Ramzi Binalshibh.
"The source says there are "about a dozen" prisoners now being held by the CIA.
"Until now, the U.S. government has not officially acknowledged the existence of CIA prisons."
How many people has the adminstration branded as traitors for saying those exact things?
