Condoleezza Rice said in USA Today yesterday that it was necessary to imprison people who haven't committed crimes because they might commit crimes and if they did innocent people would die. I'm not making this up.
Justifying secret U.S. concentration camps, Rice said, "you can't allow somebody to commit the crime before you detain them. Because if they commit the crime, thousands of innocent people die." Were we not committed to democracy, we could have applied her principle to the Bush Cabinet in January, 2001, before they committed their crimes. Many innocents who have died would still be alive.
