Holy CRAP

I just saw this over at skippy's:

The Bush misadministration has injected hundreds of foreigners it has deported with dangerous psychotropic drugs against their will to keep them sedated during the trip back to their home country, according to medical records, internal documents and interviews with people who have been drugged.
Holy shit... what are we, some 3rd World, ruled-by-a-brutal-junta fascist coun ...oh, wait...

Ok, that's enough. Most of these people probably accepted it when offered. If they had to sedate them because they were combative; well, maybe they should have shot them instead? What are you saying?

AAAAaaaahhhhh
Zena, are you kidding? The words "against their will" was used in the story.

Picture this: You've been abused, mistreated, threatened. You're stuck on some cargo ship, maybe you've been told where you're going, maybe not but that doesn't matter because you can't believe a word you're told. You've been lied to as well as physically mistreated and you know that they've been messing with you psychologically.

Now they're coming at you with a needle. A hypodermic needle with some drug in it. Maybe they'll tell you what it is. But you can't believe them.

Isn't that among the most terrifying scenarios that a person can imagine? Who would agree to something like that?

Yes; you're right. When someone is trying to tear ur head off, they WOULD be unwilling to be sedated....never worked in a mental hospital have u?
