cimmaron: you demonstrated my argument.....if i understand you correctly, your point comes down to what the bush administration did around guantanomo is just a version of what any evil bad group in any evil bad state would do.
therefore some kind of bourgeois anarchism.
so there's no particular problem here. nothing to be seen, nothing to be learned, nothing to be done.
one of the many many things that made anarchists more interesting than conservative libertarians is that they worried about the possibility of one or another form of revolution and so were looking at the socio-political world for signs that one or another form of revolution might be about to happen. so they looked at things that happened in places like the state even if their interest was in fashioning ways of thinking about the organization of the social world that would make the state wither away.
personally, as i've said in the thread i think this is an interesting test of the american system capacity for self-correction. so far, the place has fallen down pretty thoroughly.
