Maybe I am just grumpy but....

I have no idea what the main point of this thread is because it seems like it's all over the place. (I'm not quite sure what diversity has to do with any of it.) But since Gitmo was mentioned at least twice, I feel the need to react to it. One should investigate how these alleged "enemy combatants" were gathered before making the brave assumption that they were all originally enemies and/or combatants. Our handling of the Gitmo detainees is a wonderful example of how two-faced we Americans are when it comes to our cherished freedoms and sense of justice. Freedom and justice for us -- fuck everyone else. Speedy trial, the right to know what we have been accused of, the evidence against us, defense counsel, etc, -- all that we consider integral to justice -- is tossed out the window for certain others and we couldn't care less. It's funny though: one American journalist was arrested and imprisoned in Iran after multiple warnings by Iran for her to leave, and Americans were pissed. It's a bitch always having to juggle these damned double standards.
