Y’know, I cannot recall a single instance before the administration of Shrub where the idea of detaining people in contravention of the most basic of all of our supposedly protected civil rights AND the idea of torturing them was part of every day rhetoric -- as if it were okay to do these things!

I won’t shed a tear for the now dead monsters of the world. And if they died resisting capture, or in a situation where capture was impossible -- fine, their dead because of how they lived their lives. Let’s just make sure we get all of the war criminals -- even the ones in D.C. Let’s bring them to the justice they deserve.

I seem to recall the trial of war criminals at Nuremberg. To my knowledge, the U.S. did not take part in torturing these war criminals.

I am a little worried that the Constitutional experiment has slipped so far, that people are not even remembering what it was like when things were a little different.

Dude, to go out in a blaze of glory was their decision! I read a quotation (...) (21 years ago, 24-Jul-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
