US doesn't kill its citizens?! but lets look at what it does...

No, the U.S. does not wantonly kill it?s own citizens.
The U.S. just kidnaps people and flies them to secret prisons to be tortured.
The U.S. just kidnaps people from OTHER countries and flies them to secret prisons to be tortured.
When caught kidnapping the wrong people and holding and torturing them for months, the U.S. says, ?we made a mistake, but we?d do it again.?
The U.S. just imprisons citizens and foreign nationals that may (or may not) be terrorists indefinitely (not even letting the Red Cross in), with little hope for a fair trial.
The U.S. uses white phosphorus in civilian areas (banned by most other countries in the world).
The U.S. makes its own citizens PROVE they are NOT terrorists to be able to travel around the country; Over and Over again. ?May I see your travel paperz?

I guess this would not look Nazi to some people, but it looks like a turn in the wrong direction to me.

I can go on, but what I do know is that I really am starting to feel uncomfortable about my own government. I was proud and fiercely defended the U.S. in all arguments? UNTIL about 2 years ago. Now, I just say ?Yeah,? I know.?
There were and are specific REASONS why our forefathers developed the systems and laws that are in place, and the current administration just throws them out when they don?t fit their situation.

The U.S. is supposed to be the leader in morals and standards. Right now, this doesn?t look like the country I love. Let?s roll it back about 7 or 8 years.

Now for a couple of questions:
a) If the current airport screening is effective and actually stops attacks from happening; why is the U.S. banning some people from boarding a flight, if they have no hope of accomplishing anything?

b) If there are 30,000 people MISTAKENLY put on the list, does this mean that there are MORE THAN 30,000 terrorist whipping around out there in the U.S. who are using their REAL name?

c) What does this list actually accomplish, that can?t be accomplished by proper screening of everyone?
