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.
