George Bush:
​
US President George W Bush has strongly defended controversial proposals on the treatment and trial of detainees.
​
He wants to redefine part of the Geneva Conventions covering the treatment of enemy detainees and to hold trials in which evidence is kept from defendants.
​

​
Franz Kafka:
​
"No," said the man at the window, who threw his book down on a coffee table and stood up. "You can't go away when you're under arrest." "That's how it seems," said K. "And why am I under arrest?" he then asked. "That's something we're not allowed to tell you."
​
From The Trial
​
We are moving into a world of madness, where everything is topsy-turvy and where every basic TRUTH that America stood for is swept aside. George Bush and those who think like him are the threat, not terrorists.

Re: What are we supposed to do about it?
Actually I think it's been going downhill since 1607.

Can we head back towards the neighborhood of the topic please?
The question is :
​
outside of the insanity world of Kafkas The Trial is there anyway to justify trying someone without telling them what the evidence is against them?
​
How crazy can our government get?
