   Further, and as I have mentioned elsewhere, the overthrow of SH is a warning to other tinpot dictators who might be considering harboring terrorists. We have shown that we aren’t afraid to take action against such scum. Again, this denies the pukes places to organize, train, etc.

There is zero proof Iraq was harboring anyone plotting moves against the U.S.

   AQ, in particular, is supra-national. Cells may exist in as many as 60 countries including the U.S. Are we going to go after them all, John?

Certainly some. And convince and assist the other countries to purge them by themselves.

Bully, you mean?

  
  
   Now you tell me what specific civil liberties you have had to sacrifice as a result of the Bush administration.

Freedom from being summarily investigated and databased.

Really? When were you summarily investigated and databased?

   People are being denied the right to travel by air on the flimsiest pretexts.

Cites please.

Lead article in this month’s Reason:

http://www.reason.com/0308/fe.bd.suspected.shtml

covers both the cite request for loss of privacy and the cite request for denial of right to travel. Note that now that the feds took over, there no longer is the valid defence of “try another airline, there is a free market in airline policy” available to you.

In particular, pay close attention to this part: (cited for purposes of review and excerptation, go buy the magazine, it’s good):

“Judge: I understand, you said all of that. You were saying the rule is not void for vagueness and we can move on. I just want to know what the rule is that isn’t void.

Lobue: If you are asking me to disclose what’s in the security directives, I can’t do it.”

In other words the law itself that is being used is so secret that it can’t be disclosed in open court, even to a judge. So much for due process. So much for being made aware of what you are being charged with.


  
   There is potential to be expatriated and denied basically all of my rights, which has happened to some americans already.

Who have been found to have aided and abated our enemy.

Did this gentleman aid and abet any enemy?:

http://www.reason.com/0307/ci.js.jury.shtml

He’s a victim of the “war on drugs” which I note you support, John. So, by the way, are his jurors, who have been denied their right of jury nullification.

What happened to State’s rights? What happened to Federalism? What happened to the 9th amendment? Those powers not explicitly reserved to the federal government are accorded to the states, or to the people.

Here we have a hoity toity federal government that is trampling all over states rights to determine what citizens can and can’t do. And for what? !!! To prevent patients who would benefit from a drug from *getting* that drug.

You support that sort of morality imposition, John. How many patients are you willing to see suffer so that you can feel smug about your moral superiority?

   Life is messy. Sometimes you side with a Stalin to battle a Hitler. But eventually, you battle the Stalin as well. Nobody gives a rat’s ass about SH.

I’ve heard this excuse before and it doesn’t wash.
