Reminds me of a documentary I was watching on the UK History channel about the brutality and severity of the regime in Iran after the revolution (not the CIA revolution, the Islamic one). There was a clip about some guy who got his hand chopped off after a ten minute hearing without lawyers, because he was accused of stealing a piece of wood. Still, at least in Iran you get a hearing.
