I thought the exact same things when the media started their indignant frenzy over treatment of criminals a couple days ago!

We should be able to make hay out of this, BIG TIME, if there are even a few Congress Critturs with guts (and some basic rhetorical skills)..."Why don't we care about American-born children being ripped from their parents, every day--BY THEIR OWN GOVERNMEN--when there was no crime committed, but we're all in a lather and a tizzy over criminals being 'mis-treated' ?"
