Madoff, Justice, and Equity

Let me see if I have this right:

a person, especially of middle-eastern appearance, who is suspected of doing something, anything, or even nothing, is rounded up, not charged with anything, subjected to rendition to a country where torture is legal, and finally lands in Guantanamo.

a real terrorist, someone who has admittedly stolen billions from people great and small through massive lies and financial manipulation, is allowed to live in his luxury penthouse, with full staff, even though charged with multiple offenses that eclipse the annual crime rate of most small countries.

did someone say "with liberty and justice for all"? I surely know why I can't bring myself to say the Pledge of Allegiance.
