Detainee rights
An NROite is concerned about prison rape, which is interesting coming from the Right. Presumably his concern extends to all domestic terrorists who are imprisoned. But is he as concerned about the U.S.'s high-profile torture and abuse of foreign prisoners--terrorists and other combatants? Or is he another one of those who believes that denizen criminals don't have rights so long as there is intelligence to be gleaned?

I'm concerned about prison rape also, and there's no correlation between worrying about that issue & the treatment of foreign prisoners in wartime. They are very two different issues.
ReplyDeletePrison rape can affect anyone imprisoned, including those in for non-violent crimes, or even potentially innocent victims held in jail before being cleared at trial.
