The two chief speakers at the Oregon American Civil Liberties Union's annual meeting in Eugene on Saturday sought to personalize the big abstractions of the USA Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act and the Detainee Treatment Act - and what these mammoth laws mean both to foreign detainees at Guantanamo Bay and to the bedrock beliefs of regular people at home. For example, one member of the APA Presidential Task Force on Psychological Ethics and National Security intervened to stop abusive detainee treatment at Guantanamo. The Bush administration has never suggested that detainees could be tortured or subjected to "cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment"--things that were specifically banned by Congress last December when it passed the Detainee Treatment Act (DTA). |
