Reading this story on Peter E. Waldron, a staffer for Michele Bachmann in Iowa who was arrested on charges of terrorism in Uganda (the charges were later dropped) I can’t help but think of how fortunate he was that he was not immediately assumed to be guilty, placed in indefinite military detention, and then forced through a trial process biased towards the government’s claims.
Yet that’s exactly what Bachmann,would do with any Muslim in U.S. custody accused of terrorism, because she doesn’t believe foreigners have the same due process rights as American citizens.
