It just feels like the government organizations are not being responsive to the people who comprise it. I feel that behavior like this actually engenders more hatred of US citizens and that my long-term interests will suffer the consequences.

Secret hiding places
The International Committee of the Red Cross said yesterday it suspects the United States is secretly holding detainees in prisons around the world, since alleged terrorists mentioned by the FBI have not turned up in known detention centers and Washington has failed to provide a complete list of the people it is holding. Human Rights Watch made similar allegations last month, but there has been little media coverage or follow-up about what is, if nothing else, an illegal and dangerous human rights situation. An ICRC spokeswoman said that a January request for information has gone unanswered.
