Well, I don't actually think that holding people who were fighting against the United States prisoner _is_ wrong. The stunning inability of critics of Guantanamo Bay to suggest anything else that takes into account the difficulties involved is marked. I understand, however, that reasonable people could differ on this issue. But it seems to me that the first (Ruby Ridge, if anyone doesn't know what we are obliquely discussing) - assassinating American citizens - is considerably worse than the second - holding _non-Americans_ prisoner. Yet, oddly enough, we get hysterical condemnations of the second, and not a mention of the first. Let's just say that I think that's noticeable. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
