Detention without trial

[Bekah]

Indeed!  

And I just finished an amazing book by Nathan Englander called "The Ministry of Special Cases" which is set in Buenos Aires during the "Dirty War" of 1976 - 198?.    That was the time when there were so many thousands of "disappeared,"  and we heard about it on US TV (or I did).   

Now we're creating the "disappeared."  -  SAD!
