Tom Tomorrow, penned the cartoon above in 1994 for Spin magazine.
The funny thing is that you could never print this cartoon todaynot because its too subversive, but because its too obvious. It no longer reads as satire.

what crime they' re being charged with. And even once that person who is imprisoned does find out, the government impairs the attorneys ability to help with your defense.

About speedy trial and jury by peers and right to an attorney. Ask all those people at Gitmo who have been cleared of all charges but will be held forever without trial or chance of gaining their freedom.

I'd call them the BFEE, but a certain quarter on DU doesn't like it when I point out the multi-generational nature of traitors, warmongers and banksters who somehow seem to escape justice. Heh heh heh.
