Several years ago he sparked alot of debate on all this by invoking the frightening scenario of: What do you do when you capture a terrorist suspect who knows when and where a nuclear bomb is going to go off in a major American city and there's only hours left...do you respect his "constitutional rights" or do you, ahem, torture the shit out of him so that you save 100,000 lives? Oh, but Shemp, you *first* have to find him guilty of being a terrorist and he has the right of due process, being informed of his rights, being charged, having an attorney present, having time to prepare a defense and then a jury of *his* peers. And then once he is found guilty and run out of appeals you  can't do anything to violate his rights or subject him to cruel or unusual punishment. It reminds me of the Pakistani general on the 911 mini series that said to the CIA agent that captured RamsyYusef, " give me two hours with him and I'll get you all the information you want that he has". Then later when our FBI agents interrogate a terrorist all they could do was threaten to tell his momma that her  son was a terrorist. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
