A Glimpse of What Is To Come...

Jose Pedilla, a suspected "terrorist" who is being held by the US Government as an "enemy combatant" per the USA PATRIOT ACT, was given some rare publicity recently... Apparently Mr. Pedilla, against whome charges have not been brought and who has been held in custody, without access to the outside world of any kind - in solitary confinement, since 2002, was given a trip to the dentist...

I wonder how many other enemy combatants, like those being held at Guantanamo and other military prisons, who don't enjoy the publicity that Mr. Pedilla does, are given so-called "humanitarian" treatment like trips to the dentist?

Here's some links to the latest on Pedilla:
