The Lynch Mob Mentality
The fact that the Government labels Person X a “Terrorist” is not proof that Person X is, in fact, a Terrorist. That proposition should be intrinsically understood by any American who completed sixth grade civics and was thus taught that a central prong of our political system is that government officials often abuse their power and/or err and therefore must prove accusations to be true (with tested evidence) before they’re assumed to be true and the person punished accordingly. http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/02/05/lynch_mobs/index.html
