American Justice?

Imagine being on trial for a crime. Now imagine that at the trial, you have no right to be present. Neither does your attorney. Neither you nor your attorney have the right to confront your accuser or even to see all the evidence that is introduced against you. The person who set up these procedures for your trial is the same person who filed the charges against you. He is also the same person who handpicked the judge who will preside at your trial. Oh, and just for good measure, imagine that if you are convicted, you could be sentenced to death. Sound like the court system in a brutal, repressive dictatorship? Not even close. This is happening right now courtesy of our own government. The same government that is sending men and women into battle to die for freedom and liberty. How do these people have the nerve to call themselves patriotic Americans?
