"Why john would anyone, who is not a criminal or a terrorist, care:"

1. if anyone is tortured at Guantanamo or Abu Ghraib
2. if anyone is subjected to illegal search or siezure
3. if anyone is unjustly imprisoned without habeus corpus
4. if the government fucks anyone over in any way as long as they leave
you alone?

yeah, why?
