Itchy Feet

... I think comparing our detention centres to the prison the US are using for the Taliban is a *little* bit of overkill. Although the refugees are treated apallingly, they're not kept in wire cages like dogs and most of them don't seem to be sedated and tied up. Both situations sicken me, but I think that comparing one to the other trivialises both in different ways. On the one hand, the Australian assylum seekers are care for better - although by no means well. On the other, at least the Taliban fighters do need to be locked up, although I'm disgusted that the US is treating them like animals while they do so.
