It can't happen here

Prison camps where a governments enemies are executed after secret trials--with no jury, no appeal, and with the judge, prosecutor, and "defence" all from the same organization--are typical of vicious tyrannies. Fortunately, such things could never happen in the United States, where we have a long tradition of the rule of law, open trials, and fair courts. In the wake of the second Gulf War, we can expect the American people to support the overthrow any government that runs such "death camps".
