Abusive conditions that persist in the name of "national security" highlight pervasive injustice must not continue. Targeting Muslims, depriving victims of their rights, the capture, detainment and abusive treatment constitute multiple violations. The media, bullied into submissive silence permits the pervasive abuses of the legal system. Thanks to social media and bloggers, willing to report first hand accounts, word gets out and people are taking action.
This abusive system cannot go on in a country pledging "justice for all."
