text: is guantanamo the real face of america? bush has shown that he has no intention of honoring any of the conventions or treaties that restrict the behavior of the state. prisoners at guantanamo have been deprived of the most basic civil liberties even the right to know why they are being detained. bush asserts that he has absolute power over the lives of anyone he designates as an “enemy combatant”. this puts him squarely above the law.   “there’s nothing wrong with a dictatorship, as long as i am the dictator,” bush proclaimed.   http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article13587.htm no, i do not think that a majority of americans go along with denying civil liberty's. this one falls directly on the bush administration, i think that they should be tried as war criminals for this and other crimes against humanity. he has set himself up as a dictator and with a rubber stamp repuglican congress he will remain that way, that is one of the many reasons that we need to elect enough democrats this november to restore checks and balances to the government.
