The problem is how do you determine who is guilty and who is innocent if you don't follow the rule of law. Is KSM guilty, or is he only accused? Where's the proof? Who decided? How can we ever know if his interrogation is tainted by torture?
There are reason the burden of proof is on the accuser. There are really good reasons we don't have trials in Star Chambers. Perhaps you trust the government enough to take their word for who is innocent and who is guilty. But have lived too long and seen too much to ever grant them that trust. That goes for the new administration as must as for the one that just left. On Sat, Jan 24, 2009 at 7:42 PM, Robert Munn <[email protected]> wrote: > Not OK.
