Not Good!

This was not a surprise, but looking at it right there in black and white is unsettling nonetheless. Injustice of any kind should disturb all of us, regardless of where it's committed or who the victims are. We could not possibly expect to be believed as people who subscribe to a higher sets of standards and ideals, if we are seen violating some very basic rights of others. Introductory paragraph below is daunting enough, but I recommend reading the entire report;

Executive summary of a review by the Iranian American Bar Association (IABA) which finds "substantial evidence of civil rights violations" during the implementation of the US Justice Department's special registration of Middle Eastern immigrants. The study contends Iranian nationals were arbitrarily detained and mistreated.
