Every time i think that i’ve become inured to the rank and unfettered injustice perpetrated by the Bush Administration, some new low comes to my attention and it is sad that this information has only come to light now, after the Bush administration has left office.
The behavior of Immigration & Customs Enforcement as described by the NYT is a damning example.
