Concentration camps are where groups of people are held under armed guard outside of any judicial process for an indefinite period of time. The U.S is sending people to concentration camps in El Salvador. There is no judicial process, no official charges and no recognition of a right to an attorney.

So why did the President's aids not level with the American people about the President's cognitive decline? I'm talking, of course, about Ronald Reagan.
