Subject: RE: BS: Obama caters to neo-cons - more war
The court system in this country has prosecuted all types of sensitive cases including treason and espionage with great success.

Are you people seriously saying that these cases are so much different and dangerous than espionage cases involving nuclear secrets that have been prosecuted before?

The Bush administration's blatant disregard for due process in these cases, and domestic cases as well, is an enormous black eye to all of us that will take a long time to heal.

Habeas corpus has been on the books as a basic right for over a thousand years. If it can't be extended to all of us, then it is worthless to any of us.

The FACTS of the matter are, Bush entered this country into an illegal war and occupation,in the process overthrowing a sovereign government. He is responsible for the deaths of at least several hundred thousand people. He has shredded the basic rights of not only our "enemies" but our citizens as well. He has damaged our reputation in the world, in some areas possibly irreparably. In the process of this he has not only brought our country to the brink of economic ruin, he has brought most of the world to this point.

All of this for the profit and benefit of the big corporations.

Anyone who tries to defend that,IMHFO, is an absolute moron who should probably be rounded up and placed in a mental institution for observation, as they are probably a danger to themselves and others.
