Again with the crushed rights. ItÂ’s a standard trope, a talisman worn smooth with obsessive rubbing, and people of MooreÂ’s stripe wonÂ’t let it go until the Patriot act is rescinded and we can go back to the good old days of petitioning judges for separate wiretaps for a suspected terroristsÂ’s individual cell phones and land lines. Fine. But letÂ’s talk about the rights and freedoms weÂ’ve crushed abroad. Leave aside Western Europe, which is still reeling from the decision by the Bush adminstration to use Warthogs to strafe all those street protests. Two questions:
Afghanistan had more / less freedoms under the Taliban
Iraq had more / less freedoms under Saddam
