So Paris Hilton is out after a whole 3 days.

This news on the day that Amnesty International and other pressure groups petition the Bush Administration over the 39 “disappeared” who have vanished from US custody since 9/11 (two of them children aged just 7 and 9). What further proof do you need of the joke government, joke legal system, and joke values that exist in the worlds freest country.

If your some drink-driving dim rich bitch you get to serve a token sentence and get sent home after 3 days for crying.

If your some poor bastard sucked into the war on terror you just disappear never to emerge. Maybe you’re in Guantanamo, maybe you’re in any number of illegal jails around the world, maybe you’ll never to see a trial and many may never see the light of day again. This is on par with Latin American despots at their worst.

If you’re poor, black, dispossessed, unemployed you go straight to jail with no special treatment. If you're white, rich, and have a media profile you can just about do what the fuck you like. The double standards are nothing short of disgusting.

These two stories appearing on the same day should shame everyone who believes in democracy, and fairplay, and decency. What a total crock of shit.
