We differ here. I do blame Al Quaeda because without their mass murderous rampage we wouldn't need to take such drastic actions. Drastic action frequently involves the innocent. I agree with you 100% that we need to shut down GitMo, but we need to do it in a measured thoughtful way that both preserves our security (and the world's!) and preserves the rights of those detained. Those detained DO have rights - rights that we as Americans believe were endowed to them by their creator. We can't in good conscious ignore them, but can't shirk our responsibility either. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:210666 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
