Evil Dictatorships and Innocent Men

So let me get this straight. The United States (that would be We, the People), the country that has refused to deal with Syria because they're one of those "evil dictatorships", kidnapped a Canadian citizen from an American airport and shipped him to Syria to be held and tortured on our behalf for months without any legal status at all.

Did I get that right? Because the irony of it is such a total mindf*ck on so many levels that I keep thinking I must have read the report incorrectly.

Are we so busy pissing ourselves at the idea of The Bad Guys that we've forgotten who we are? Does our government so lust for the morally uninhibited freedom of an evil dictatorship, where practices such as law and due process are discretionary, that they are happy to live vicariously through Syria?

Does it matter to anyone that the evil dictatorships of the Middle East we've been railing against seem to come in handy when we've got a little evil of our own that needs doing? Does it matter to anyone that the very democratic principles we've been trumpeting are so easily discarded when they prove inconvenient?

And does it bother anyone that the poor guy was innocent?

I am disgusted. Again.
