Congress Hears Dramatic Rape Kit Testimony – CBS Evening News – CBS News

The sad thing is that hearing that there are several thousand untested rape-kits, and several thousand cases that were never followed up on does not surprise me a bit. Our justice system makes money for prison guard unions and the private contractors that run prisons. It’s an industry. Period. Hey ladies, no one ever said getting tough on crime had anything to do with justice.

The Song Remains the Same

Where have I heard this little ditty before?

“invokes new powers”

….As in the sub-title to an AP article I found on abc.com about the ongoing battle between the ACLU and the White House over whether or not to release pictures of detainees being subjected to abuse by their American captors.

Obviously endangering the troops is bad. Invoking new powers to do so strikes me as pretty bad too though. Then again, what do I know? I’m only a voter.
