Yes, I read a blog the other week where the author commented
[I never thought I'd be able] 'to type the words "America tortures 
people, and locks them up without trial, violating not just the 
Constitution but the Magna frikkin Carta" in any context other than satire.'

And hes right - the US government appears to be in breach of legal 
principles laid down 800 years ago!
Interesting times, people, interesting times :(
